Don't run in Holey Socks

So the exercise kick is on and I hit the gym early with the thought to start training for the Danskin Triathlon My worry about Triathlons has always been the running leg so I figured I should see if I can get to a point where I can run the distance. Hopefully before the drop dead date for registration I can at least decide whether or not my body will put up with the run leg.
Anyway 10 minutes in to the treadmill workout - a 3.6mph walking pace with a minute of 5mph jogs now and then - I realized that the socks I had put on where the ones with a hole in the left heal. So now I have a hole in my left heal with a cushy band aid over it. Sigh…. I did manage a little over a mile and a little over 17 minutes on the treadmill.
