WRIGHTSOCK is the RIGHT SOCK!

WRIGHTSOCK is the right sock… !

Let me just say it now that I am not getting paid to endorse WRIGHTSOCK.

WRIGHTSOCK doesn’t know who I am or that I run.  WRIGHTSOCK was just at the right place and right time for me to know just how RIGHT these socks really are.

The reason I’m writing about WRIGHTSOCK this morning is 2-fold.  First, because several runners I know have been lamenting about blisters, and we all know that blisters are… well, painful enough to ruin a run or a running experience; and second, my husband surprised me with a new stash of WRIGHT ONES yesterday.

I simply want to pass along my own WRIGHTSOCK experience.

Here’s my very short story about a very long run…

Last year at this time, I was training for my first marathon.  I’m a late-comer as a runner and I run purely for fun, for exercise and the challenge of doing something seemingly impossible for me.

I was putting in my miles, but always dreading the pain and foot-ache (heartache, actually) of blisters.  I tried sock after sock after sock.  I tried bandages. I tried new running shoes.  I even changed my stride and foot-fall a bit, trying anything to avoid those nasty little pains in the foot.

But I would not stop running, training, dreaming of accomplishing a goal of a lifetime – my marathon.

I was frightened a bit.  Yes, frightened is the only word I can think to use.  I was frightened of the pain of blisters.  I had done a Half Ironman the year before and my feet and socks were bloody with blisters when I finished my race.  My head, heart and soul were soaring… but my poor feet were begging for mercy.

The Friday before my marathon, I went to the race expo and poked around a bit at all the running gear and accessories.  I stopped at a sock booth and noticed the anti-blister words on the WRIGHTSOCK package.  I was completely skeptical.  Skeptical with experience.  But the young guy behind the counter could hardly contain his enthusiasm and endorsement for these socks.

So I bought a couple of pairs.

And on that Sunday morning of my marathon, I slipped on a pair.

Then I ran.

I ran.

I ran.

And I ran.

26.2 miles.

Not one pain.  Not one blister.  Nothing but comfort.  I even credited WRIGHTSOCK in my marathon recap!

Maybe you have to be a runner to get this.   It’s discovering BLISS.  (Ha!  I like this!  Substituting BLISS for BLIS-ters!)

But anyway…

I know WRIGHTSOCK and I know that these socks are the right ones to keep me running.  I won’t wear anything else, ever, for training, for racing, for just hanging out.

I think you’ve had to have a bad sock running experience to know exactly what I’m talking about.

BLISS.

Just passing it along…

Now I’ve got to get on my new adventures- the Patriot 70.3 and my biggest dream of all… the Marine Corps Marathon!

Hey, I’ve got the socks for it!
