Smartwool Ski Light Cushion Sock
The intelligent sheep at SmartWool have come up with the Ski Light Cushion Sock. Most ski and snowboard boots are intended to be used with a thin, lightweight sock. Warmth comes from hot air that is trapped in the sock's fibers. Wool has a naturally crimped texture that gives hot air plenty of room to hide near your foot. SmartWool uses their durable blend of wool and nylon to make this over the calf sock. Cushioning is woven into the shin and foot to protect high pressure areas. The smart part is that these socks remain odor free and itch less for years of happy feet.

Training Tips
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
