Compress me.

I never though i would say that i hate rest days, because i basically live for sitting on the couch, eating carbs, and drinking martinis, but i am bored and kind of want to go running.  

But, a huge perk to my boring friday rest-day is that my aspaeris pivot shorts came in the mail yesterday!! Not to be super gross but i wore them for my 3.5 mile run, and i lounged in them....i just couldn't part with them long enough to wash in between wearing. 


Running in them:
This was a new experience.  Its hard to tell, because my run was super hard to begin with because i was tired/hungry/cranky/have run the previous 3 days, but it made my legs feel like they were getting more of a work out.  I think it was actually forcing my legs to run in proper running form a little bit, which is a totally new experience for them, since i normally run like a jacked up deer.  

All arms, no legs...

I think the compression around my legs helped force everything to move properly, and a huge plus, significantly less knee pain after my run.  I love not hurting!  The one down side is that i was a little warm...but thats on xsport, because their gym is 80 degrees and they don't have fans....i seriously hate you xsport.  I think i might wear these outside on their own if it gets warmer, or under a pair of leggings if it gets colder (but please, get warmer) 

But here is my real passion

Sitting around in them:

Sweet christ these are amazing.  Years from now, they will have to be peeled off of me because i never want to take them off.  They look really cute too.  I fully plan on just wearing them around town this spring.  I can't wait to run a marathon just to recover in these shorts.  (ok, maybe i can wait a little while)  

The proof is in the pudding though, so here is me screwing around in my Aspaeris Pivot shorts, as well as a looking like death after Thursday mornings doom run.

I am one step closer to my full body compression suit.

Waffle loves compression shorts as well.  That, and stealing your soul, obvi.

I have a problem, because i NEED them in every color now.  I got mine VIA the 50% off sale in January, but the second there is another sale, i shall scream it from the roof tops for all to hear, because people are missing out.
