They're so clutch for plane rides, or road trips for that matter.  Ever since I had these damn kids, my ankles swell if I don't take precautionary steps.  I tried once to wear them after a race to drive home, but they proved too difficult to get on at that point.  Recall my nekkid cramping sitch post marathon, which was me just trying to put on pants.  Compression socks were a total fail the time I tried.  They are great to wear during the post-race post-shower nap though.

 

Truth.

I wore them in the last month of pregnancy when me and my cankles lived in south Florida. I think they helped me not die of blood clot.

After CIM, I headed from the finish line straight to the hotel for a quick shower before my flight. I was in the midst of pulling them on when my legs kept cramping/spasming and I was just frozen in that position. It took me like 25 minutes to pull them both on, lol  I was also naked but thankfully in the hotel room. My dear child was like wtf

5.6 miles with 3 at some sort of effort. Tempo-ish. The first 2 miles of it are in a busy area, so lots of start/stop and auto-stop doesn't always kick in. And, as soon as I saved my run, it instantly uploaded to Garmin Connect. So that's how it's supposed to work. .Cool.

DavePNW, with the grocery lists, there was an example in my data mining class about beer & diapers. Using all the data from the customer cards, a store found it was fairly common that when men tended to buy those 2 things, so the store put those items in close proximity.

Ok, I am never going to try to put on compression garments after a race in public.

I did an easy hour on the bike trainer.  A much shorter and easier workout than I had scheduled but that's what I was in the mood for.  Now I am continuing my work day at home.

I ran 8 miles with 6x2 minutes

How did that feel?

 

How did that feel?

My legs didn't feel awesome but it wasn't a struggle to hit the paces so okay
