I'm freaking loving it.

From my new compression socks from Zensah.

a w e s o m e.

Was so excited when they contacted me.

and even more excited when they listed "argyle" as an option.

awwwww. heck. freaking. ya.

I want need the argyle.

You see.....I was a huge lacoste & Izod fan when I was eight. ;)

I sadly dated a few guys who turned up at my door in argyle.  [Dad, why did you let them in?] ;)

But thank goodness they looked more like this:

Than this:

Now on to the socks . . . .

My trusty-dusty photographer Peanut got a few photos pre-run.

Mostly when I'm talking to her.  nice.

Or when I was throwing a treat to the dog to get him away from me.

We did manage one semi-normal photo . . .

What????   I said "semi".

Then it was onto the treadmill.

Firing it up:

And finally - all systems a "go" .

What heel strike?!

I did have to stop once to get a photo of Peanut and her friend who came in to dance to: "The Golden Age" By Fruit when it came on during my run.

Yes, Chris - she has officially taken over my shirt.  How the heck does this happen?
okay.

So 11 miles completed [yesterday's run] -- averaging 7:43 / mile.

I have only ever run in compression socks twice.  I usually use them exclusively for post run. . . . . . but I loved these.

I loved the feel on my arches.

and

I loved that they aren't too thin or too slippery.  I know, weird but I'm used to wearing a bit of a thicker sock so usually when I have tried to wear these during a run [socks by another brand] I feel like my shoes fit too lose?!  But not these.

Anyway.  I loved. them.

And the fact I get to look all preppy and Carlton [Fresh Prince of Bel-Air] like while doing it . . . . . well that's just a huge perk.

Now I just need to find some black running shoes so Idon't look like such a tool.

Do you wear compression socks?

During races? After?  Both?

YAY it's Tuesday!!

Mav's are going to kill the Heat tonight!
