Socks

Been a fun couple of weeks so for. It's been going very well. I'm up to 222 dances which is 4.5% of my goal. in 4.3% of the time. So I'm a little bit ahead of my goal.

One of my biggest concerns when playing DDR are my socks. I think about it when I put them on in the morning and right before I play DDR. If my socks are to thin the dance pad hurts my feet to much. If my socks are not on properly then the bloody seams give my blisters. Ya thats right socks give me blisters. If they are too thick my feet sweat to much and it isn't comfortable. I don't wear shoes because I find it's like playing the piano with mittens on. You can't feel anything!. I don't play barefoot because I am quite certain I would shred my feet into tiny bits. If I am wearing a bad sock in the morning or if I can't get a seam to move properly I will remove the offending sock. This raises another problem as fresh socks provide less traction. So I find my newly fitted foot slips a lot more than my other one. This is less disconcerting if I change both socks as it is an equal problem. I have been contemplating buying a large amount of new socks chosen just for there DRR abilities.

Ya I bet you don't put so much thought into your sock choices do you?

I don't put any thought into my sock choices.

I do think about my socks, but in more of a "how warm do I want my legs to be versus how long my sock selection will be" kind of way...
