Incredible

So, you've now all seen these babies (size small for all those who asked)...

You've now all read how I felt about them before running in them...

And now, I'm sure you're just dying to know how they felt while I ran in them...

Right?

Incredible.

Of course, it could be the Power Bar and coffee I ate before my run.
It could be the carb loaded nachos I had the night before (they did have black beans and tomatillo salsa on top. Protein? Veggies? Right?)

It could be the darn Ghirardelli chocolates that Tortuga Runner sent with the goodies that I won. (Okay. So food choices Saturday night weren't so great.)
It could be the extra hour of sleep.

Or, it could be that my Sugoi Piston 200 tights really are that incredible!

I ran 10 miles Sunday morning and since I'm always running late, I really had to pay attention to my time. I truly only had time for 8, but kicked it up the last 2 miles to get my 10 in.

And do you know what???

I could have ran more!

My body felt great after those 10. I truly felt like I had another 2-4 in me. My legs were not tired and I was really wishing I would have gotten out there earlier so I could have ran more.

Sugoi is the Japanese term for incredible.

And, incredible is how I felt.

Coincidence?

I think not.

From their site:

The PISTON 200 Compression Tight is part of SUGOI's Race + Recovery collection.

• 28 inch inseam
• Inside key/card pocket at waist
• Contrast flat lock stitching
• Articulated for increased movement

I first saw these tights when I clicked the Sugoi link from Tall Mom's site. I fell in love and blogged about them here. But I was very unsure of the price. Way more than I would spend.

Then, Tall Mom did a review on them. I ever so obnoxiously, I'm sure, emailed Tall Mom and asked her more questions. And then some more.

Bottom line, she felt they were worth it.

My wheels started turning and I found them on Amazon.com and the rest is history.

After yesterday's run, I ditto Tall Mom's opinion.

They are totally worth it!

I cannot wait to take them with me on longer runs!

Yesterday, as I hopped in the car to race home, all I could do was praise the Lord for the gift of running. I know there are good and bad days, and truly, I had had such a great run the weekend before that I thought I it was time for the struggle. And based upon the food choices the night before, I really wasn't hoping for much. But, I believe, those tights delivered!
