I must be crazy because I think this makes a cute running outfit!

So much for being too tired to go to the gym today!

All I wanted to do was go home and relax, especially since tomorrow is a holiday!

I let my complaining go on for about 20 minutes before I decided that I was going to the gym. No whining allowed.

Problem solved.

I got dressed in my fancy new compression socks, and off I went for over 5 miles!

I couldn’t believe it! Nothing hurt. Nothing ached.

I ran easily for 4 miles, but I drank way too much water and I quickly developed a cramp after my fourth mile. Rookie mistake.

I convinced myself to complete over 5 miles so I pushed myself to 5.34 miles before I finally gave up.

Too tired to even hold the camera still!

Even though I was sweating like a pig after I finished, I was so proud and thrilled to feel like my old self again!

I swear it was my socks!

My new compression socks are made by Sugoi, a company that produces apparel for high performance and endurance sports.
