So these little pink socks arrived at my door–after a trip that took them from California to Utah to Pennsylvania and and back to my house in Utah. I guess UPS just forgot to deliver them the first time, so instead of two-day shipping as was promised, it was more like 2-week shipping. Oh well. Now they are safe and sound. I ordered them off runningwarehouse.com, which is generally where I get my running stuff–when I’m not hitting up TJMaxx. I got The Engineer a pair of Drymax socks a little while ago, and he really likes them, so I thought I would buy some for myself. First impression, they are really well made. And apparently they will help prevent blisters and athlete’s foot. Right on.
Test: 3-mile easy “comeback” run on the treadmill.
Verdict: These socks are . . . Good. I’m a fan and will be getting more Drymax socks in the future.
Update: Since I wrote this post a couple weeks ago, I’ve worn these socks a few times, and they still work great.
Disclaimer: I purchased these socks with my own money and was not compensated for my review in any way. All opinions expressed are my own.
My race is on SATURDAY! I can’t believe it’s already here. I don’t know whether I’m more nervous or excited–probably a bit of both. I’m excited to see everyone’s costumes. It’s gonna be great. I hope it’s not too cold, but I’ll plan for that because it starts up in the mountains.
I ate THE BEST gyro ever tonight for dinner. There’s a burger place in my town that makes killer gyros, and every time we go to said restaurant, I have the gyro. Nothing else compares. Definitely one of my top-5 favorite foods
I bought myself bright pink arm warmers. I don’t know how I’ll feel about wearing the pink (I’ve never really been a pink-wearing person), but they were the only ones in stock on runningwarehouse.com. I’ll do a review on them soon.
I recently ordered a Road ID and got in the mail this past week. I was so excited to get it and even more excited that I didn’t have to shove my driver’s license in my bra anymore! Woo. I think having any kind of identification is important, especially when running or biking alone. I live near a running trail where women have been attacked, and if I bring ID with me, I’m also bringing peace of mind.
My Road ID (and all I assume) came in a nice metal box, which is a nice touch. I ordered their Wrist ID Slim (in orange with an extra purple band), which I love. I was able to fit all my vital information on the stainless-steel tag, which is laser engraved. It’s not uncomfortable to wear and I didn’t even notice it on my run this morning. I love it and am sure I’ll never go running/hiking/cycling without it.
Our mission is twofold: One, to educate outdoor enthusiasts (runners, cyclists, triathletes, skiers, snow boarders, kayakers, walkers, and anyone that doesn’t spend all of their time on the couch) about the importance of wearing ID. Two, to provide these athletes with innovative identification products that they will want to include as part of their gear.
If you can’t speak for yourself, Road ID will speak for you.
Road ID enables First Responders to immediately contact family members and friends.
Road ID enables family members to provide additional details about your health or give consent for potentially life saving procedures.
Road ID enables hospital staff to locate vital medical records.
Road ID can communicate medical conditions or allergy information to medical staff.
Road ID can prevent serious delays in treatment by saving crucial time during the “golden hour” of medical treatment.
It’s far better to have Road ID and not need it than to need Road ID and not have it. It’s not just a piece of gear, it’s peace of mind.
Accidents happen far more than you think they do. Each year approximately 450,000 of us are taken to hospitals unconscious and without identification.
Road ID looks good on and makes a statement about your athletic lifestyle – not to mention that studies would probably prove that people that wear Road ID are considerably smarter than those that don’t.
Road ID can save your Life. Period.
Nice packaging
I love Road ID’s commitment to safety and the fact that they stand behind their products. All their products are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and their engraved tags are backed with a lifetime guarantee. And a portion of each order is donated to different charities. Road ID is a great company, and I hope to get a Road ID for The Engineer soon.
Summary
Pros: Great packaging, colors great, ordering super smooth and user-friendly, tag laser engraved and easy to read, comfortable while running, company has commitment to safety and quality, etc., etc.
Cons: Medium band on Wrist ID Slim runs a little large for me.
