Pro Compression Giveaway!

As most of you already know I am part of a new pacing team known as the Run Your Race Pacers.  We have started a blog, www.ryrpacing.blogspot.com and will be doing giveaways quite often.  As a matter of fact we are doing a Pro Compression giveaway RIGHT NOW!  It ends tomorrow so get on it peeps ;)
I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was when Holly walked these down to my house the other day.

I LOVE the back of the shirt so you get a picture of that too.

Since Pro Compression has come on board as sponsors they sent us some goods to keep us in tip top shape for pacing.  Proper recovery is key and these stockings are sure to help your muscles get the blood flow that they require to rebuild themselves.  I did a product review of Pro Compression back in November that you can read HERE.

And for those of you not interested in my non-sense mile long post, I will do a quick recap as to why I am in love with these socks.

First of all, they are really, really, ridiculously good looking. 

They also feel AMAZING!  I love the fact that they fit perfectly.  They are super tight in the leg which is how they should be, but I don't feel like my little toesies are squished together like in other brands.  Nothing feels better after a really hard run/workout than slipping on Pro Compression socks.  They feel like a little hug for your tired legs.

I have also found that I love to run in them.  With other brands I never wear them to the gym because they just aren't very attractive.  I not only wear these to the gym but I get compliments every single time, like I said they are ridiculously good looking.

I love to sleep in them as well.  The night before a long run I always slather my legs in BioFreeze and sleep with my Pro Compression socks on.  In the morning I feel refreshed and ready to go.

Be sure to enter the giveaway asap.  Not only do you get a pair of socks but you get to pick them out and believe me they have some really great socks to choose from.

2nd Day of Christmas!

The other day I posted that my favorite Christmas movie was The Muppets Christmas Carol.  The reason I say it's one of my favorites is because it's a movie that I haven't seen 897,462 times.  I don't own it and it's rarely on T.V.  Well, I have a treat for you...I found one of the funniest parts of the movie.  Enjoy!  Oh and make sure you pay VERY close attention to Beaker at the end...it's a little shocking so brace yourself ;)  Steph Numero Dos this is for you!

You're welcome!

I pretty much love all Christmas movies.  Last week McKenna was sick and all she did for 5 days was watch Christmas movies.  Mostly, How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey, now that is hilarious and I love it dearly but watching it 8 times in a week is over kill.  I adore Elf but again I have the whole thing memorized and could resite it for you word for word if you would like...No?  Okay, but don't say I didn't  offer.  I seriously love them all, one more is Christmas with the Kranks.  That movie is so funny...maybe I just think it's funny because Mrs. Krank and I are quite similar :)

Let's get to the giveaway shall we?

On the 2nd day of Christmas Lil' Mama gave to me...a pair of Pro Compression!  I am so in love with these fancy stockings, you can read my review of them HERE!  They aren't just for running and recovery but they are also great for Crossfit!

They even came out with a fun Holiday sock!

I really could live in these socks!  Whenever I wear my Pink Argyles to the gym I get a ton of compliments.  They're functional and cute that's a win, win right there!

Pro Compression=2 Big Toes Up!!

Yesterday I was so pleased to open my mailbox to see that I had received a very special surprise!  I ripped it open straight away and pulled out the most beautiful compression socks I have ever seen!

Buddy sums up exactly how I feel about these wonderful stockings :)

It's not too early for Christmas movies/music is it?!?  I was feeling a little crazy and turned on Pandora Christmas Radio, usually I wait until Thanksgiving but I just couldn't help myself.  Kenna said, "Could you please turn this off?  It's annoying!"  To which I said, "You know what?  You're annoying!"  Don't worry I was completely joking.  Funnily enough my kids get my sense of humor waaaaay better than Jake does...and we've been together how long???

Anyways, back to these wonderful Pro Compression socks!

They sent me the marathon pink argyle and also the marathon white compression socks.  The pink argyle are possibly the cutest socks EVER known to man!  Not only are they ridiculously cute but they feel AMAZING!  I wore them all afternoon and slept in them until I got too hot and had to rip them off asap.  It could have been my fleece jammies causing all the trouble but I figured I should leave those on.

I woke up at 5:30 am to get ready for a running adventure with Holly and Jorge.  We decided that we should run the Thankful13 Half Marathon course to see what we would be up against this Thanksgiving Day morn!  More on that later!

I was looking forward to trying out my fancy stockings on a run.  Unfortunately it's cold here in Utah so I couldn't show them off, don't worry though I showered/changed and made McKenna take my picture.

I have worn other compression socks and sleeves but these are by far my FAV.O.RITE!  In my other compression socks my toes are squished together which drives me crazy.  Pro Compression socks are tight, as they should be, but they have room in the toe so that I don't feel claustrophobic.  The material is super soft and feels so good. 

In my other compression socks I like the feel around my legs but the sock part is nothing to call home about.  These, however, are WONDERFUL!

The sock part reminds me a little of the Asics Low Cut Hera, which are one of my favorite running socks.   They feel like an all day hug...for your foot!  Pro Compression also sells a low cut sock which I'm sure is equally as wonderful for those hot days when you don't want a full on compression sock.

I would have to give these socks 2 big toes up :)  They are awesome, if I could live in them I would!!!  Pro Compression is a California company and all their socks are MADE IN THE U.S.A.  (I don't know about you but that makes me sleep better at night ;)  If you've been looking for a great compression sock look no further, they have sales quite often which make them extremely affordable too!

Holly was having sock envy this morning on our grand adventure.  I printed up the turn by turn course directions last night and was a little nervous to see that there were 19 turns.  I somehow managed to pawn off the directions to Jorge...ha ha ha ha!!  He navigated us quite nicely but the directions got a bit confusing, it didn't help that none of us were familiar with the area either.  We managed to go and get ourselves lost but somehow made it back on track and finished in 13 miles.  I was certain that we were going to end up running many more miles than we had set out to do but lucky for us we figured out we were lost pretty dang quick.

The course was beautiful and the weather was absolutely PERFECT!  When we left home and the whole drive to Lehi it was raining.  Luckily for us, Holly was praying her little heart out for the rain to stop and it did!  Holly has powerful prayers ;)  This course is much more challenging than most Utah races.  It is a fairly flat course with a few little hills here and there.  Most Utah races send you flying down a canyon, not this one!  We need to work a little harder on Thanksgiving anyway right?!?

Do you wear compression and if so what brand?

Are you running a race this Thanksgiving Day?
