My daughter starts track practice this week and needed a new pair of running shoes. Since we were in the Twin Cities last weekend, we decided to stop at a local mall for some shoe shopping. After browsing through a few stores, she decided on a pair of Nike Air Zoom Pegasus. They seemed like a choice. The price tag was a little higher than I expected, so I did a quick search on the Internet for a better price. I found the same shoes at Road Runner Sports. After a sale price, my VIP discount (the VIP membership is a $27.99 per year), and a coupon, I ended up paying $22 less than the mall price. Since I was ordering, I also bought myself a new pair of running socks. My favorite running socks are the Road Runner Sport's R-Gear Drymax Dry-As-A-Bone Medium Cushion socks. They are soft, cushioned, and keep my feet dry. I like these socks so much that I had bought some for my daughter this fall for her cross country season. Little did I know that I created a problem. The problem with buying my daughter the same socks that I have is that I can't seem to get my socks back out of the laundry. I am loosing my socks. So when I opened a fresh pack of socks this morning, I had a great idea... use a Sharpie to write my initial on each sock so that I will get it back from the laundry. (Missee posted that she uses a Sharpie to record the first date of use in her running shoes.) After I wrote an "S" on my socks, I have to admit that I kind of regretted it. I felt like I had ruined a brand new pair of socks. However, my husband said that he thought it was a great idea since he has a tough time getting folded laundry back to the owner. At least I will get my socks back. I noticed my daughter's socks today. :) Teens! Happy Running! -Stephanie

When we were first married, my husband thought that numbering his socks would help me get the right ones back together. Not cool! As long as you marked all of them with an S, you should be good to go!
