Nooooooooooooooo...........
winner
announcement
day
So here's the math [I suck at math so feel free to check it].
7 outdoor marathons:
Phoenix
Surprise
Glendale
Boston
Seattle
Pocatello
Vegas
= 183.4
Plus the 10k with Peanut
= 189.6
Plus my 9 mile run where...it sucked & I almost died. [ok, ok, I didn't]
= 198.6
Plus 3 miles run with Peanut at run club
= 201.6
Plus three separate 5 mile hill runs
= 216.6
Plus four miles, one random day in November, when I had lost my brain.
= 220.6
So out of 3,204.44 miles in 2011 . . . .
220.6 were run outside.
Which makes the winner . . .
Holy. crap.
two people said 227. Which was the closest answer.
So I went down the the time the answers were submitted . . .
And

Now for my Friday question . . . .
** How many miles to you run to warrant putting on your compression socks? **

My compression socks are real pretty so I will wear them for fun! :O
I am not a "long-distance" runner so I have no excuse to wear them. However, if I bike 50+ miles then they are on!
more than 12, but at least 12. of course that is after the run. i just can't do that look while running - at least in my shorts.
I am in love with my compression socks that I wear them almost everyday, even when I don't run. I even bought some grandma-looking compression socks and wear them to work.
I still say 100 miles on the treadmill outside counts as outside :)
Congrats Jenna!
I don't wear much compression, except after marathons or unless something lower leg is hurting...
Friday is compression day. That is my rest day and I wear my pants in the evening and socks all day.
That is the only time I wear them unless after a race where the lactic acid is absurd.
That's a good question, I finally bought some and haven't used them yet. So apparently for me it can't be under 10 miles...
I actually only wear compression socks while I'm working- like, just 'cause I stand up all day. Kind of wish I'd worn them today :-/
I'll sleep in compression sleeves, just cause they feel good. I know, I'm a sexy beast.
And since I'm balking at anything over a 5k right now, I have no call for them whatsoever. *shrug* I just wanna be cool like y'all dorks.
I wear them after my long runs religiously, especially now that I'm working post-run too. However, I'll wear them after almost any run if I'm willing to putz around with them to get them on right. Love my CEP socks, but got a foot cramp once trying to get it on!
I don't get anything for guessing 444? What a rip off! haha
I have really screwed up circulation in my feet so I wear my awesome thigh-high compression maternity stockings after pretty much every run...definitely anything longer than 6.
Congrats to the winners!
Answer to today's question - more miles than I've run in a long time. But I'd say about 20k.
Alanna. Me toooo!! Every time! Either a foot cramp or my abs cramp up. No joke. One or the other. Uggg!!
Usually only out on the compression stuff after the Sunday long runs or a real hard speed workout. Probably should do it more but am sort of lazy and they make my legs sweat!
I did 1600mi last year and only 42 were on the TM. 6 at a hotel, 4 when I had bronchitis and the other 32 in August when it was 110 degrees with 100% humidity every day.
Yep, I am totally disrespecting the mill. And when I typed "disrespecting" I bobbed my head left and right (-:
I wear compression socks if my calves feel tight...that could be after 6 miles (eek) or after say...18. Or if I want to look cool.
I wear my compression socks on days when I haven't even run. I just love them so much! :)
Yay to the winners... that's a crazy low amount of miles outside! Hahaha...
I try and wear them when I racing, for easy runs I don't need them.
Zero. I don't believe in compression socks. I figure us humans have ran for thousands upon thousands of years with out compression socks -why start now?
I live in compression socks...okay only at night. I only wear them to run during races and during training runs when my legs are just screaming tired.
