PRO Compression Socks: A day in the life {+ giveaway}

It's been nearly four years since I first put a compression sock on these legs of mine. Let me tell you, I haven't looked back.

Of course, things have changed - once wearing them for just recovery to now becoming head-over-heels in love, sporting whenever I need support, a fashion statement or a little hug as I say.

So I present to you a day in the life of my PRO Compression socks.

From top left ...

{a} It's a sad lonely life for this Retro Marathon Sock. It's spent the better part of a week separated from its friends, sitting on the dresser until its mate can be found.

{b} Oh, there you are, Ninja Sock! In the basement with the "whites" and not "athletic wear." Let's wash you so you can get some fresh air today.

{c} Reunited and it feels so good.

{d} On the legs and ready to go. Twelve miles are on tap, and the weather is a bit chilly. It's not just about fashion or little hugs but keeping those legs warm underneath the tights.

{e} I decided to warm up on the bike before meeting my friends at the Greenway.

{not pictured} A fairly miserable run that had us running into 23 mph winds and, despite our best efforts, into some stretches of icy or impassable trail. The post-run photo was bypassed for warm cars and coffee.

{f} Marathon socks - and the rest of the clothes - are stripped almost immediately upon entering the house. Mark and Miles aren't home, which means I can come to temperature in a hot bath by myself.

{g} Like magic, a clean and matched pair of PRO Compression socks are on the bed and ready to help me recover.

{h} Five minutes later, I managed one sock onto my hot swollen legs.

{i} "Rewaxing" on the chair as Miles watches "SpongeBob SquarePants." I might have come very close to taking a nap.

{not pictured} Cooking, eating and watching TV in my socks.

{Caught on video} Doing "weighted" push-ups in my PRO Compression socks.

{not pictured} Going to bed in my socks and subsequently taking them off at 11:30 p.m when I went to the bathroom. It was getting hot.
