SmartWool Ski Racer Sock - Kids'
Kids have sensitive feet that just don't stop growing. It's important to protect young feet so they can grow up to huck huge airs, just like mommy and daddy. Besides, kids with happy feet are happy, and happy kids equal happy parents. Protect your child's feet and keep them happy with the Smartwool Kid's Ski Racer Socks. Light cushioning around the shin and foot protects small feet from constrictive ski boots. The Ski Racer Socks feature Smartwool's Smart Fit System, which combines an elastic arch and ankle brace with an instep flex zone for unparalleled fit, comfort and support. Flat-loop toe seams reduce hot spots around small toes, and the over-the-calf height of this sock ensures it doesn't bunch up inside little boots. The unique blend of wool, nylon and spandex yields an elastic sock that naturally staves off sweat and odor and holds its shape for seasons to come.

Training Tips
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.

Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
