Socks are very important to a runner. If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run. Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock. I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out.

With my hands. And I was okay with that. It was quite easy to take a picture because I already had the phone in my hand. But there was one problem. A pretty major one and I didn't even notice until my brother-in-law saw me running one day and asked me why I didn't use my arms when I run. Hmmmm...... I tho...
