WORKOUT -
Ran on TM -
8.0 miles/61 mins
1.0 incline
I ran the first 5 miles/37 minutes, a 7:24 pace and then slowed it down a little to an 8 min/mile pace for the last 3 miles.
If you’re trying to figure out your pace, this Cool Running pace calculator is super easy to use and always makes me think of this movie…
If you can think about anything besides that amazing movie, I know I barely can, the discount code RRLV for compression socks ends tomorrow.
It’s good for 40% off and free shipping on any Pro Compression sock in stock.
{The official results came out for Ragnar Las Vegas and we ended up 1st ultra team (men or women) and 10th team overall! Man, I was blessed to have some incredibly athletic and tough teammates.}
These are my three favorite colors in stock and on sale now:
What’s your favorite color of compression socks?
I think I have just about every color that Pro makes, but I really like the orange and the hot pink with stars.

Orange! I love them!
I may or may not have just re-calculated the (increeeeeedibly slow) time of my last run using that JUST because of how much I love that movie!
Filmed in MY city and i can see the bobsled track from my house…Calgary ROCKS!
thats it, im moving there stat!
I love my pink pro compression socks! So tempting to grab another pair!
I LOVE the COOL RUNNINGS movie…. Watched it when it came out with my teenagers years back….really good lesson in life….
Never…Never….Quit….
Thanks for the snippet and I signed up over at the Active page…. I need to really work on my pace… but…loved the calculator!
CLASSIC movie.
I love the purple one!
Way to dominate Ragnar.
I have to two pairs of ProCompression. Actually wore them to work today because I heard that is totally acceptable now:) I have pink & black, but want purple!
Oh, and now I have Cool Runnings songs stuck in my head thanks. “You know they can’t believe, Jamaica, we have a bobsled team!”
I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! Definitely one of my favorites! I like classic black! : )
I like all the colors but I think the purple and the pink ones are my favorite
Awesome job!! Oh I don’t know how many times we watched that movie in junior high…thanks for reminding me.
I just bought the purple ones at the first exchange at Ragnar Las Vegas and I LOVE them!
hahaha…i totally laugh every time i pull up the cool running website, and for the very same reason.
I just got the blue argyle and love them! And the pink, but I love the blue more.
The Kidless Kronicles
Since I already feel like a tool wearing them (they make me feel like I look like I’m trying to be hard core when I’m not), I go for black. Love orange, though!
I love my orange Pro socks! My only other pair is black. I keep looking at the pink and purple ones though. They’re just so pretty. Too bad I don’t have much to match them. I wish they would make a royal blue!
I just bought the pink ones as my first pair of compression socks. But I had a really hard time choosing between those, the orange, and the purple.
Congrats again on the Ragnar win!!
I just bought the pink ones. They didn’t have the pink with stars. I kind of wish I had the purple ones too. I use that calculator too!
My favorite are the lime green ones…I get so many compliments on them every time I wear them.
Congratulations!!
I have hot pink socks and purple sleeves. I want another pair of socks but can’t decide on a color!
You’ve been posting so much about these that I finally got around to buying not one but two pairs (black and pink). Not going to lie. I’m kind of excited.
BEST. MOVIE. EVER!!
Thanks for the code!
I really really want that purple one! Looks really pretty!
I’ve gone from 0 – 7 pair in the last week…maybe I have issues???…a few for Christmas gifts and the rest for ME (I like the light blue argyle quite a bit, but they’re all great)!!! I’m dealing with plantar fasciitis issues while still putting some light miles on the TM. They seem to really help after my runs. Thanks for the discount codes! and WOW! great job to you and your Ragnar LV teammates!
“I’m not feeling very Olympic today” – One of the best lines ever…
I am thoroughly DISTRAUGHT that they are out of yellow.
Wow! Congrats on 1st places, that’s awesome!! BTW- I love the pink rockstar socks!
Congrats on the 1st place finish. That is awesome! I don’t have any compression socks yet, but I do want a pair. I just keep thinking, “will I look stupid running slowly and wearing fancy running socks?”
I only own pink, but I would love to get lime!
OMG! You gals beat the guys! Ok, not being a femminist but that’s super duper awesome and amazing!
I am just lol’ing that you made sure to include me in the ProCompresion picture.
Uh “compression” I mean.
i know, amazing photoshop skills on my part.
Congrats on first yo!
I love Cool Runnings. I haven’t seen it in forever, though, so it might be about time to find it on Netflix.
My favorite color are the fluorescent yellow Pro socks I have. They always seem to shock people a bit when I wear them.
Awesome job! Just found your blog through a friend and am seriously impressed!!!
Also wanted to know what size you would recommend for the socks? I’m 5’4″ and wear a size 8-8 1/2. I’ve heard the sizes run a little long and even though the sizing chart says a S would be good, an XS might be a better fit. Thoughts?
yes, if you’re on the shorter side, id say try the xs. i wear the small/medium but am taller. good luck and thanks for reading!
The baby blue argyle are my favorites. If I had unlimited resources I’d have one of every color
love love that movie!
Excellent movie. Since I’m still a running noob, I don’t own any compression socks (yet). What are they for?
Just got my new black ones in the mail today, thanks again for the code. Can’t wait to see how they compare to my Zensah sleeves, I’m hoping they’ll be tighter. Probably going to wear them in my half this weekend, yay!
Congrats on the win! I love those purple socks!
Big Props for the WIN!!! Go Go Girls.
I love Pro Compression, but I have to say I love the sleeves SO MUCH more than the socks. Socks are great, but I love being able to leave the sleeves on and let my feet breathe after the LR.
I wish/hope/fingers crossed that they come up with more colors of sleeves and more deals on them.
Happy Thanksgiving! Pass the Proseco
love love love. so excited for your win!
I love all the pro compression socks, I don’t discriminate amongst the colors…but the brighter the better
I just bought my first pair in purple!! Thank you!!
Congrat’s on the win! You and your teams talent and hardwork paid off bigtime! WAHOO!!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Cheers!
I just bought my first pair of compression socks. I have been deprived for too long.
When I saw your title my mind went instantly to the movie North Shore – could still recite every single line. “Scrub it kook”
I would have to say purple, those are pretty!
I am now officially a SR groupie after buying my first pair of compression socks. I hope she doesn’t ever see me out and about in her recommended sports bra, headband and socks all at once. I’ll turn about as pink as my new socks!
hahaha, glad you like the socks! i love ‘em.
I bought the orange ones and love them more than I even thought I would!
I love the orange socks! I want purple now … or blue argyle … or pink with stars.
I use got the khaki argyle socks and they are my new favs!
OMG, I didn’t realize you beat the men too! You guys are soooo f’ing amazing!!! Congratulations to your whole team!
thank you!
1. Pink Argyle. Classy. Pink. AWESOME!
2. LOLOLOLOLOLOL speaking of compression have you seen this? Compression shorts with spot for concealed weapon! http://pinterest.com/pin/108860515964551046/
3. Had a pretty serious ITB injury & still not fixed. Doing Vegas in 2 weeks (not willing to NOT run it) …. so I have a ChiRunning lesson this morning to see if that technique works. What are your thoughts on ChiRunning? I’ll know in an hour what I think!
