Imminent Catastrophe

    Here's a race report from Matt Jenkins, who I saw running the Rocket City Marathon in Smithwick socks. Turns out he's also a Maniac.

      I loaded that up and thought, no way that is a picture of a maniac ;-)

       

      Thanks for the report.

        15 mi. for $17 and up socks! Ouch!

          What I need is a permanent supply of low-quarter  real  running socks with either a 2-3 mm carbon rubber outsole or a vibram (a la five fingers) outsole.  Just regular colors like camo, black, desert tan, ... OK, just the socks in any color would do!

           

          Oh yes, and a pair of  very  minimal black shoes suitable for work.  Fake shoelaces would be okay.

            SwiftWick sends me the socks for free.
