Thorlo Sock Giveaway

on January 22, 2013
in All Posts

My half marathon official race photos were posted online.  No surprises here, but they are all terrible.  The photographer was standing right where the sand transitioned from packed to squishy, and there was still another 0.1 mile to go.  The result:  I am grimacing and appear to be dropping the f-bomb in all the pictures.

Not a heel click to be found.

But let’s talk about my socks.  See those hot pink socks?  They are… the… most… amazing… socks… ever.  Ever.

When packing up my gear for the trip, I forgot to put socks in my suitcase. Now, I usually run in cheapo cotton socks (you know, the kind you buy in plastic bags).  I do own one nice pair of ‘real’ running socks that I pull on for races; I bought them at the Disney Marathon expo.  Anyway, I forgot to pack any socks – cheapo or not – so when I got to this race’s expo, I went on the hunt for socks.

 

I kind of gagged when I shelled out $12 for the Thorlo Experia socks – $12 is a lot for socks (and that was with an expo discount)!  Plus, I was pretty nervous to run the race in new socks. But Peanut Butter Fingers Julie assured me that the Thorlo socks were amazing.

This is not a paid review or anything like that – I just had to tell you that JULIE WAS RIGHT.  These socks are amazing.  They were great during my race, and they were even more perfect after being washed.  I ran a very wonderful 3.5 miles today because of these socks!

 

They have cushion in all the right places – “sculpted and contoured to match the foot’s natural ball and heel strike pattern.”  The socks include a combination of padding, mesh, and other materials to hug, protect, and allow the foot to breathe.

I like these socks SO much that I’m gonna buy one of you guys a pair, too.

Simply leave a comment answering the following question:  If you had any superpower, what would it be?  Mine:  I would love to be able to shape shift into animals, other people, and everyday objects.  (If your comment doesn’t appear immediately, never fear – I will manually approve it soon.)  I’ll announce the winner Friday morning.

    I would be super fast, so I could accomplish more in a day.

  • janet @ the taste space January 22, 2013, 8:26 pm

    Nice! I love it when you find something you just want to share! 🙂 If I had superpowers, I think it would be for a better memory. 🙂

  • Kelly January 22, 2013, 8:26 pm

    I would love to be able to teleport! Traveling across the country, and world, would be much quicker and easier that way.

  • Amy@ahealthyandhappyheart January 22, 2013, 8:26 pm

    Glad you found good socks at the last minute! And look at those precious baby feet 🙂 I would want to listen to peoples/animals thoughts! (well maybe only for a week lol)

  • Audrey January 22, 2013, 8:27 pm

    I have to comment! I can’t pass up a pass to love on some Thorlos. They are amazing!

    My superpower would definitely be flight. Sometimes, when I run I even imagine wings on my ankles- I’ve been tempted in the past to get them tattooed on! (but think I am going to pass)

  • April January 22, 2013, 8:27 pm

    Those are really cute socks in addition to being functional! A rarity.

    Superpower: to be able to be anywhere else in the world with just a snap of my fingers. Teleportation, right? 🙂

  • Laura in Pgh January 22, 2013, 8:27 pm

    I’d love to be able to fly … like superman!

  • Samantha Brown January 22, 2013, 8:29 pm

    Invisibility!! I would love to be a fly on the wall… I guess, by nature I am just a snoop!

  • Claire January 22, 2013, 8:29 pm

    I would love to be able to tele-transport myself. No more commuting, and I would travel every weekend!

  • Leah January 22, 2013, 8:29 pm

    I have two pair of these and they are AWESOME! Perfection in sock design from wick away to no rubbing.

  • Mary January 22, 2013, 8:30 pm

    I would like to be invisible…you could go anywhere!

  • Shannon January 22, 2013, 8:30 pm

    To prepare food by simply thinking about it!!

  • Sara@RunningInPinkProject January 22, 2013, 8:31 pm

    Id probably pick the super power to be a healer. I work with so many disabled kids that I would love to just wave a magic wand over and help!

  • Indhu January 22, 2013, 8:31 pm

    To be able to disapparate to India in a moment’s notice – so I can meet my parents 🙂

  • Simi January 22, 2013, 8:31 pm

    My superpower would be to take away the fever my 7 month old daughter is running right now 🙁 along with teething discomfort 🙁 so sad for me and so helpless.

  • Nikki January 22, 2013, 8:32 pm

    My superpower would be to say the thing that would make someone feel better when they were feeling really crappy.

  • Meg January 22, 2013, 8:32 pm

    I’m stealing my friend’s idea because it’s such a great one: I would wish for the superpower to be fluent in any language at a given time. Can you imagine the travel possibilities??

  • Lisa January 22, 2013, 8:32 pm

    I think I would like to be able to read minds. I’m sure nothing good would come of it….but I’d like to know what some people are thinking.

  • Breanne T January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    Those socks sound awesome! I would have the power to teleport. Military Moves, family visits, and road trips with my husband who hates to drive would be much more enjoyable!

  • Amy January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    Ooohh my superpower would be… Mind reading… Yeah. That’d be very useful 🙂

  • Lauren January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    I would want to fly!

  • Katie January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    I’d love to be able to stop time so I can have extra hours in my day!

  • Bethany January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    I would love to be able to fall asleep in a second and stay asleep all night. Can you tell I am sleep deprived and exhausted?

  • Kim January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    If I could have any super power it would be to make everyone more grateful for what they have. Ok…i just started reading “The Magic” right before I read your blog, but it would be a good power to have. 😉

  • Carol January 22, 2013, 8:33 pm

    Time travel

  • Kelly E. January 22, 2013, 8:34 pm

    I’d like to be able to read minds – the good, the bad, and the ugly! Following that, I’d like to be able to fly (birds are so free!).

    p.s. All my running socks have holes in them. Maybe I should be wishing for super sewing powers or something instead. 🙂

  • Tori January 22, 2013, 8:34 pm

    I would want to be able to see the future. I spend so much time worrying about the future that knowing what will happen will not only let me make better choices, but also save me tons of stress.

    Of course I’m sure there would be horrible side effects associated with being able to see the future….

  • Melissa January 22, 2013, 8:34 pm

    I’d love to be able fly!!

  • Vicki Mc January 22, 2013, 8:34 pm

    I would love to be able to duplicate myself when needed. Too much to do during the day for just one of me!

  • Rebeccah January 22, 2013, 8:35 pm

    Teleport. My family lives all over the place!

  • Danielle January 22, 2013, 8:35 pm

    I’d love to teleport to wherever I want at all times!

  • Jen G. January 22, 2013, 8:36 pm

    I’d love to be able to wiggle my nose and get all my chores finished like Samantha on Bewitched.

  • Whitney January 22, 2013, 8:37 pm

    I have lots of friends in lots of different places,
    So I would love to have the ability to teleport.
    It would save time, money and vacation days
    wasted for traveling. Thanks for the
    Opportunity!

  • Stephanie January 22, 2013, 8:37 pm

    I just want to 2nd your love for these socks, they are wonderful, and the only ones I will run in. They last for years and are totally worth the price tag!

  • Hilary January 22, 2013, 8:37 pm

    I’d be invisible. It could come in handy when I’m trying to check to see *how awake* my kids are when they’re stirring in their beds. (our video monitors are terrible.)

  • lisa fine @ vermont vittles January 22, 2013, 8:38 pm

    I love those socks! They’re awesome for hiking and backpacking too.

    I’d like to be able swim without needing to come up for air. I’d like to watch the underwater creatures.

  • Ali January 22, 2013, 8:38 pm

    My super power would be the ability to make people dance on command…how fun would life be?!?

  • Josephine January 22, 2013, 8:39 pm

    You are so awesome.
    I would want to be able to jump super super high, like on buildings and stuff. Just because it sounds like it would be fun!

  • sarahq January 22, 2013, 8:39 pm

    I was going to say fly but all of the teleporters changed my mind. Even faster travel !

  • Melissa January 22, 2013, 8:39 pm

    I would want to fly. See the world from a new perspective while not having to drive!

    • Allison January 23, 2013, 11:42 am

      I would pick teleporting. No more driving, flying, and vacationing whenever.

  • Katie January 22, 2013, 8:41 pm

    The power to make my boys get their pajamas on and brush their teeth after only telling them once!

  • Becca January 22, 2013, 8:41 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to control time, to pause it, to rewind it, to slow it down, etc. I think that would be so cool!

  • Jamie January 22, 2013, 8:41 pm

    I’ve always wanted to be able to fly. Cliche, I know – but how cool would it be to able to fly?!

  • Julia January 22, 2013, 8:42 pm

    I wish I could make stuff move like Matilda!

  • Angie @ Pint of Goals January 22, 2013, 8:43 pm

    I’ve always thought flying would be so cool. I had a flying dream once and loved it! Maybe I’d feel like I was lying if I was wearing these sweet socks 🙂

  • JennyV January 22, 2013, 8:44 pm

    Super power: read minds!! Take the guesswork out of many everyday occurances.

  • Melissa Hyde January 22, 2013, 8:45 pm

    I have always wanted to be able to fly!!

  • Kristina @Run and Assimilate January 22, 2013, 8:45 pm

    I would have a super brain/ photographic memory so I could learn as much as I possibly could in a matter of seconds!

  • KatieMoo January 22, 2013, 8:47 pm

    I would be able to transport myself anywhere in a moment’s notice!

  • Jessica January 22, 2013, 8:47 pm

    Honestly, I think the ‘grimacing f-bomb dropping’ photo is much better and more inspiring/realistic than a heel clicking photo! Running is tough and the sand at the end was challenging but you powered through it.

  • Carin January 22, 2013, 8:47 pm

    LOVE the Thorlos!

    I’d be a superhero with supernipples – tweaking on the right one would instantly take me anywhere in the world, whilst the left would be a speed button which would jet-propel me to the finish of any race.

    That way, I’d have a fighting chance of actually winning a run once in a while, prior to being transported to the Caribbean for R&R afterwards… or the Antartctic for a spot of ice therapy! It’d make it far easier (and cheaper) to get back to the UK or to the HLS too!

    (Obviously the flaw in an otherwise brilliant plan is that I’d have to tweak the nips in public, but hey…. 🙂 )

  • Nancy January 22, 2013, 8:47 pm

    If I had a superpower, it would be that I would be able to be able to reach all of my students (I’m a high school teacher) and magically impart to them the skills they needed to be successful in class/life.

  • Danielle January 22, 2013, 8:47 pm

    Transportation powers! So I could be wherever I wanted in a blink of an eye. And not deal with airport security or LA traffic. 🙂

  • Kristin January 22, 2013, 8:47 pm

    that would be an awesome superpower!!! hahaha I would like to snap my fingers and be anywhere at anytime! 🙂

  • Janie Kaiser January 22, 2013, 8:48 pm

    I’d want to be able to apparate like in Harry Potter so I could get anywhere at anytime whenever I wanted. See family, travel the world, all in the blink of an eye! And i’d be free. 🙂

  • Laura January 22, 2013, 8:48 pm

    I would love to either fly (cuz that would be awesome!!!) or read people’s minds to help solve crimes/prevent terrorism

  • Socal Rachel January 22, 2013, 8:48 pm

    I’d be super strong and fit. I love these socks too and always run in them!

  • Edith January 22, 2013, 8:49 pm

    Oh, they look sooo comfy!
    My dream always was to be able to stop time -as I please.. I could take a break or a nap whenever I want to. and when I touch other people, they can walk with me in the time-frozen world.. and when I am ready, I will let the time flow again.
    I was actually quite concerned as a kid, if I would age in the time I spent without the real time – I didn’t want to look like eighty when I am just thirty in the normal world 🙂

  • Angie January 22, 2013, 8:49 pm

    I would want to be able to bend time to have more of it in a day – ala Hermione Granger’s time turner in Harry Potter.

  • Ashley Y January 22, 2013, 8:49 pm

    Teleportation! It would be great to visit our friends and families whenever we wanted to. I could also visit all of the awesome historic sites abroad that I want to without the associated costs!

  • Rachel F. January 22, 2013, 8:49 pm

    I would want to read people’s minds. Definitely.

  • Kileen January 22, 2013, 8:49 pm

    I would love to stop time. Sometimes I just want certain moments to last forever!

  • melanie January 22, 2013, 8:49 pm

    socks look so great! I’d love to be able to go back and relive certain days

  • susan @ momswimbikerun January 22, 2013, 8:50 pm

    definitely see into the future

  • Catherine January 22, 2013, 8:50 pm

    I would love to be able to freeze time temporarily. Being a senior in college is a scary thing!

  • Lexi January 22, 2013, 8:50 pm

    My superpower would be to stop time. Remember that show ”Out of this World” where she touched her fingers together and everything stood still except she could still move around. That would be awesome! As would getting these socks!

  • Katie January 22, 2013, 8:50 pm

    I would love to be able to change the seasons…or at least have a little bubble of warmth around me so I could walk my dog warm and toasty!
    BRRRRRRRR its cold in DC!

  • Jennifer January 22, 2013, 8:51 pm

    I want to be like Dash from the Incredibles!

  • Katie M January 22, 2013, 8:52 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to “beam myself” to my destination, no planes, trains, or automobiles required. If I wanted to travel to Hawaii for the weekend, the normally 8+ hour travel days would be compressed into less than a minute. I despise the headaches associated with travel, so this superpower would make personal or work trips a million times more enjoyable!

  • Erin January 22, 2013, 8:52 pm

    I would go to be able to become invisible!

  • Courtney January 22, 2013, 8:52 pm

    My superpower would be to transfer my thoughts onto paper without having to writing them so my hand wouldn’t hurt from writing up so many labs. Not too heroic, but it sure would save me a lot of pain 🙂

  • Sweta January 22, 2013, 8:52 pm

    I think teleporting would be awesome. It would save me so much money on airfare, too!

  • Kate @ life's precious moments January 22, 2013, 8:52 pm

    If I could have one superpower it would be the ability to teleport. I would love to be able to see my bf, best friend, and family whenever I wanted!

  • Lara ZP January 22, 2013, 8:52 pm

    I love these socks, I own two pairs! My desired superpower would be to fly!

  • Megan January 22, 2013, 8:53 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to fit 8 hours of sleep into 1 or 2 actual hours. I work nights + like to still consider myself a SAHM so I get sleep in short little spurts.

  • Jenny O January 22, 2013, 8:54 pm

    I’d want to fly!!! See the world whenever I want to 🙂

  • alex m January 22, 2013, 8:54 pm

    I’d like to fly! Or be invisible

  • Shannon January 22, 2013, 8:55 pm

    It seems like there is a theme in this comments… But I would love the power of being able to teleport instantly. It would obviously be wonderful to lose the commuting time, but I’d also love to use it for recreational purposes! First on the list? Insta travel to New Zealand for a well needed vacation.

  • Toni January 22, 2013, 8:56 pm

    I would have the ability to make my kids healthy meals that they loved and would eat with the wave of my hand. And no dirty dishes 🙂 Congrats on your awesome half!!

  • Cate January 22, 2013, 8:56 pm

    I would like to be able to wiggle my nose like Samantha on Bewitched and have my house magically become spotlessly clean. Especially right now.

  • Alli January 22, 2013, 8:56 pm

    Wow! I’m getting some even if I don’t win.

    My super power would be to never get injured. Ha! I’m suffering right now is why I say that mostly 😉

  • Zelda January 22, 2013, 8:57 pm

    I would love to be able to teleport. Think of all the travel!

  • dominique January 22, 2013, 8:57 pm

    I would also want teleportation.

    Have you ever seen Star Trek Deep Space 9? One of the main characters, Odo, has the superpower you want.

  • Devon January 22, 2013, 8:57 pm

    Those socks look fab! I’m partial to Asics socks, but with my increased training, I need some serious foot love. I think my super power would be to heal people instantly. How cool would it be to make people better?

  • Nikki January 22, 2013, 8:59 pm

    I would want the ability to be in two places at once so that I never feel overwhelmed 🙂

  • Liz January 22, 2013, 9:00 pm

    I’d love to be able to read minds!! That could definitely come in handy…

  • Megan January 22, 2013, 9:01 pm

    HMm…. good question. If I had a super power it would have to be teleportation. WHile I love where I am in this point in my life, there are days that I wish I could go back and talk to my grandparents more specifically my grandmother. Oh there are days I wish I could have her advise or opinion….

  • Sara @ LovingOnTheRun January 22, 2013, 9:02 pm

    I would fly for sure! I don’t know why but I have always always wanted to fly! 🙂

  • Beth B. January 22, 2013, 9:02 pm

    To be invisible! That could come in very handy!

  • Jamie January 22, 2013, 9:02 pm

    Love the socks AND the question! I just finished reading The Night Circus so I have to say that I want the power to bring to life fantastically impossible designs. P.S. Anyone who has not read The Night Circus must–it is incredible.

  • Mary January 22, 2013, 9:02 pm

    I would be able to go anywhere immediately. Like time travel, but location travel? I would never sit in traffic again!

    My husband said he would want the ability to create as much money as he wanted (legally, I’m assuming).

  • Dana B January 22, 2013, 9:02 pm

    I would grow money so I wouldn’t have to work 🙂

  • Helen January 22, 2013, 9:03 pm

    Mmmmm probably invisibility. That’d be pretty cool

  • Mabelle @ Dance, Love, Dine January 22, 2013, 9:03 pm

    Ummm the super power of reading people’s minds (but only when i choose to, like turning on a switch). That would probably save me from wasting a lot of time with the wrong people. 🙂 WOULD LOVE THOSE SOCKS!

  • Leah January 22, 2013, 9:03 pm

    I want to be in 2 places at once! So that I can be comfy cozy in my bed while simultaneously at school or running!

  • Rachel S January 22, 2013, 9:04 pm

    Teleportation!! I can’t believe so many others already wrote that…it’s been on my mind ever since a turbulent flight I was on yesterday–I’m a terrible traveler, but love visiting new places!

  • Lynne January 22, 2013, 9:04 pm

    I’d like to be able to fly!

  • Emilee January 22, 2013, 9:05 pm

    Weird, I just asked my fiance that same question before I read your post. I said mine would be to turn water into wine 🙂

  • marjie January 22, 2013, 9:05 pm

    My super power would be mind reading!!!

  • Melissa January 22, 2013, 9:06 pm

    I’d love to be able to fly.

  • Brittany January 22, 2013, 9:06 pm

    I’d love to read other people’s minds

  • Sarah January 22, 2013, 9:07 pm

    I think I would have to say fly…although there are so many other good options!

  • Kris January 22, 2013, 9:08 pm

    The socks look awesome! I buy kind of cheapie socks, and once in a while when I run into a good pair, it’s amazing how great they feel.

    I would like to be able to communicate with animals, but it would probably break my heart.

  • tara January 22, 2013, 9:08 pm

    I’d like to be able to read minds!
    Thorlo socks are awesome!!!!

  • Lindsey Gail January 22, 2013, 9:08 pm

    Definitely reading people’s minds! But like all superpowers, I must use my power for good, not evil.

  • Erica January 22, 2013, 9:09 pm

    Having been in a long distance relationship for the past several years and currently living far from my family, I would love to be able to teleport and spend more time actually with my loved ones than I do traveling to see them.

  • Kristy @ Kristy's Health Revolution January 22, 2013, 9:09 pm

    I would want the power to be in two places at once! Then I wouldn’t have to decide if I want to work out at the break of dawn or after work. I would just do it while I was at work, because everyone knows midday is the best time to work out.

  • Jess January 22, 2013, 9:09 pm

    My superpower would be to sing in harmony with myself all at the same time 🙂

  • Rebecca P. January 22, 2013, 9:10 pm

    hmm superpower? I’d have to say, to stop time! I would be able to get so much more done and have the time to do the things I enjoy longer and more often!

  • Cindy January 22, 2013, 9:10 pm

    I’d be able to teleport since most of my friends live far away

  • Bayley January 22, 2013, 9:11 pm

    I would love to be able to fly (especially during my 40-minute commute to and from work)!

    I have a few pairs of Feetures socks that I loooove! Definitely interested in giving Thorlo socks a try though!

  • My Neon Running Shoes January 22, 2013, 9:11 pm

    I’d have to say invisibility! Those socks look awesome 🙂

  • Julianna January 22, 2013, 9:12 pm

    Definitely flying!

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 9:12 pm

    I would definitely want to fly! I know it’s cheesy and maybe a tad juvenile, but ever since those Twilight films, I’ve wanted to! Imagine how convenient it would be to fly yourself anywhere in the world!

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 9:12 pm

    I think I’d pick being able to hear what people think! Although, I’m sure I’d only like it temporarily 🙂

  • Alaina January 22, 2013, 9:13 pm

    I have those same socks (in blue)! I LOVE them! My brother and sister in law bought them for me for Christmas a couple of years ago. But I would definitely shell out the money for more pairs! 🙂

  • Nicole January 22, 2013, 9:13 pm

    Oooh! I love the idea of having the super power of teleportation! I hate driving, especially at night! Plus family is far away. The socks look awesome!

  • Hannah January 22, 2013, 9:13 pm

    I think it would be awesome to be able to click my heels in my ruby red slippers and be anywhere!

  • Mary January 22, 2013, 9:13 pm

    If I had a superpower, I would be able to fly!

  • Katrina January 22, 2013, 9:14 pm

    I would love to have the ability to understand and speak all languages 🙂

  • Laura January 22, 2013, 9:14 pm

    I would LOVE to be a mind reader 🙂

  • abbi January 22, 2013, 9:14 pm

    These look somewhat similar to be beloved discontinued socks that I haven’t been able to find anything close to yet!! Superpower – talk to animals!

  • Coco January 22, 2013, 9:15 pm

    I would want to become invisible…that way I could eavesdrop muahaha…or disappear during a mortifying moment.

  • Sarah G January 22, 2013, 9:15 pm

    My superpower? I’d want to point my finger and magically change my outfit whenever I want, Sabrina the Teenage Witch style!

  • Valerie January 22, 2013, 9:16 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to change the weather!

  • Sandy January 22, 2013, 9:16 pm

    I only have one pair of real running socks, I desperately need some more! My superpower would be mind reading!

  • Tanya @ Vegan Faith January 22, 2013, 9:16 pm

    I would fly. That way I could travel anywhere super cheap. And by the way: Thorlo has a factory/headquarters right here in Statesville. Pretty cool huh?!

  • Lisa January 22, 2013, 9:17 pm

    My superpower: superstrength. I would love to be able to lift cars, houses, buildings and both my kids at the same time with my pinky finger!

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 9:17 pm

    I would want to have the power to have a birds eye view on the world and find all of my lost bobby pins… I bet I have lost bobby pins in almost every state and many countries!!

  • Nikki January 22, 2013, 9:18 pm

    If I had a superpower I would want the ability to fly!

  • Cecilia @MommiesRUn January 22, 2013, 9:19 pm

    Don’t enter me in your giveaway…I just wanted to comment that those are the only socks I wear besides my compression socks! They are the absolute best and they hold up wash after wash after wash! Well done!

  • jen January 22, 2013, 9:20 pm

    magical metabolism, able to take down criminal ice cream in a single scoop!

  • Micky January 22, 2013, 9:20 pm

    I was going to say reading minds (because I am nosy) but I have to agree with Samantha Brown. I would love to be invisible to snoop!

  • Jackie January 22, 2013, 9:21 pm

    I would want to read people’s minds. Not because I’m a creeper but because I want to see the way other people’s minds work, like, what their internal monologue looks like compared to my own.

    Have you ever tried running in compression socks? I saw you in the recovery socks in your post from yesterday. I’ve never worn any (during a run OR after) but I’ve seen lots of people wearing them during races and am intrigued.

  • Caitlin January 22, 2013, 9:21 pm

    I would love to be able to fly. It would make getting to work and seeing the boy in TN sooooooo much easier right now!

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 9:22 pm

    I would say flying, but that is pretty boring so I would say to be able to grade papers by blinking my eyes

  • cassidy @wine and ice cream January 22, 2013, 9:22 pm

    I was going to say the ability to quiet every crying baby my own included, but that’s not really a fun superpower … I’d rather be able to transport myself places instantly!

  • michelle January 22, 2013, 9:22 pm

    My super power would be telepathy!

  • Jenny January 22, 2013, 9:23 pm

    the power of teleportation! there are so many places i want to visit, and this superpower would be a free ticket to practically everywhere! also, i’d like to sleep an extra 5~10 minutes in the morning and never worry about traffic/rush hour. 🙂

  • Christie January 22, 2013, 9:24 pm

    It is weird how much the answer to this question can change over time. I used to always say that I wanted to be able to read peoples minds- I think I just cared way too much of what others thought about me. Now i’d want my super power to be super-energy woman… one that didn’t need much sleep. I bet lots of other zombie moms would agree 😉

  • Emma January 22, 2013, 9:24 pm

    Prepare delicious dinners without any work–magic!

  • Anna D January 22, 2013, 9:24 pm

    Cute socks!! I can’t believe you ran again already, I totally would’ve taken another recovery day!! You go girl!!

    I’d want to be able to speak any and all languages!!

  • Theodora January 22, 2013, 9:25 pm

    Those socks are AMAZING.

  • Claire January 22, 2013, 9:25 pm

    I would love to be able to look at a textbook and know everything in it! (can you tell I’m in grad school??)

  • Katie @ Peace Love & Oats January 22, 2013, 9:25 pm

    I would be able to apparate, like in Harry Potter!

  • Maggie January 22, 2013, 9:26 pm

    I’d love to be able to teleport. I’d go anywhere and everywhere!

  • Whitney January 22, 2013, 9:26 pm

    I love those socks! I refuse to wear anything else!

    My superpower would be to mute people! 🙂

  • Shannon January 22, 2013, 9:26 pm

    awesome looking socks! i would pick flying!!

  • Ruby January 22, 2013, 9:26 pm

    The ability to hear people’s thoughts!

  • Hippierunner January 22, 2013, 9:26 pm

    I’d love to have the ability to teleport. It’d save a lot of time if I could skip over the less scenic areas I commute through.

  • JenRD January 22, 2013, 9:28 pm

    Hmmm…I always wanted to be able to stop time like Evie from that 90’s sit com “Out of This World”, but reading people’s minds would also be pretty neat. Then again, maybe I don’t always want to know that people are thinking…

  • Carly January 22, 2013, 9:29 pm

    Be able to teleport

  • Ashley January 22, 2013, 9:29 pm

    I wish I could teleport myself anyyyywhere or be able to understand/speak every language!

  • Jen P January 22, 2013, 9:30 pm

    I’d love to be able to freeze time–I need more hours in the day!

  • catie January 22, 2013, 9:30 pm

    I would really like to teleport myself to work every day. I drive over 80 minutes round trip and it’s annoying. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Sandra A January 22, 2013, 9:31 pm

    I am always losing my socks so I would love a pair of these!! If I could have a superpower I would want telepathy–but selective telepathy, that I could turn on and off!

  • Kelly January 22, 2013, 9:32 pm

    I would love to teleport! There never seem to be enough hours in the day, so if I could cut commuting time out of it, I’d be a happy camper. 🙂

  • Kristin January 22, 2013, 9:32 pm

    Hmm, shape shifter is a really good one. I hate heights but I would want to be able to fly so I could get to where I want to go faster and not have to use gas to get there!

  • Sarah January 22, 2013, 9:32 pm

    If I had any superpower it would be to fly. Lame I know, but it would be so handy to get places!

  • Kelly R January 22, 2013, 9:33 pm

    I would love to be able to be multiple places at once, or to teleport!

  • Erin January 22, 2013, 9:33 pm

    I would love to be able to selectively read minds, it would clear up so much confusion and wasted time

  • Catherine January 22, 2013, 9:34 pm

    Easy one for me! I wish I didn’t need to sleep. Even pre-baby, I’ve ALWAYS felt that way. I know it’s necessary, but sleep just seems like a huge waste of time to me. I want to enjoy that 1/3 of my life doing something else! Being a vampire would be cool 🙂

  • Beth Jamieson January 22, 2013, 9:34 pm

    I would want to fly. Ever since I was a child, I dream of flying-literally in my dreams I can fly. It’s so cool.

  • Katherine January 22, 2013, 9:34 pm

    I would love to teleport! so cool!

  • Pam January 22, 2013, 9:34 pm

    I would be able to teleport myself! Those socks look great and glad they served you well!

  • lauren January 22, 2013, 9:36 pm

    I’d like to have the ability to teleport.

  • Renee January 22, 2013, 9:37 pm

    I’d like to fly so I didn’t have to pay for airfare! Plus, I’m obsessed with Thorlos. Try Balegas, too!

  • Alexandra January 22, 2013, 9:37 pm

    Such a tough choice! I’d love to be able to read minds…I think haha Thanks for being so generous!

  • Heather January 22, 2013, 9:39 pm

    I would love to be able to teletransport my parents — so they could come over for dinner anytime they wanted and spend precious time with their granddaughter. Or grow a money tree, so we could buy them a house down the street 🙂

  • Carrie January 22, 2013, 9:39 pm

    I love new running socks! I want self-healing powers!

  • kirsten January 22, 2013, 9:40 pm

    I would love to be able to freeze time so I could take a nap under my desk at work 🙂

  • Sarah January 22, 2013, 9:42 pm

    Ohh invisibility or flying…probably flying ! Sure would save some time!

  • Rebecca January 22, 2013, 9:42 pm

    If I had a super power, I’d like to be able to talk to animals!

  • Carrie January 22, 2013, 9:47 pm

    Hmm…so many superpowers to choose from! I would love to be able to time travel to not only meet certain people but see what it was like to live “way back when”.

  • Natalie @ will jog for food January 22, 2013, 9:47 pm

    If I had a superpower, I would want to be able to fly! Take a weekend trip to Bora Bora 🙂

  • Amanda January 22, 2013, 9:48 pm

    I would love to transport myself in time.

  • Stephanie January 22, 2013, 9:49 pm

    My super power would definitely be teleportation! I’ve always wished for that ability 🙂

  • Jen in TX January 22, 2013, 9:50 pm

    I think I would like super-strength, or the ability to fly. Can I pick two? 🙂 The socks look great. If I don’t win, I may have to buy some.

  • sandra January 22, 2013, 9:51 pm

    I’d want to have the superpower of telekinesis. Sounds fancy and useful. Id put that on my business card.

  • Jane January 22, 2013, 9:52 pm

    Teleportation! You could get places SO much faster:)

  • Kristen D January 22, 2013, 9:52 pm

    Wish I could fly – I REALLY hate traffic!

  • Annie January 22, 2013, 9:53 pm

    Defenitely would be teleporting my boyfriend here. Him=salt lake city, me= Colorado Springs .. Sucky

  • Kim @ HealthyNest January 22, 2013, 9:53 pm

    I’d want to fly!

    Those socks look amazing! Also my favorite combo of colors. 🙂

  • Clare @ Fitting It All In January 22, 2013, 9:53 pm

    teleporting. Go ANYWHERE During the day and then sleep in your own bed. Priceless. (ps – good socks make all the difference!)

  • Tanya January 22, 2013, 9:54 pm

    I would choose teleportation too. I love to travel to new places, but I’m a phobic flyer. No more white knuckling would be great.

  • Kyla January 22, 2013, 9:56 pm

    Flying would be sweet, but I wanted to be Alex Mack as a kid. 15 years later, it still holds true.

  • Stephanie @ LiveCookLove January 22, 2013, 9:56 pm

    I would love to be able to blink and be somewhere else. Example, sitting at my desk at work on a Friday afternoon, and then BAM, I am in Hawaii! That would be so much fun!

  • Lacey January 22, 2013, 9:58 pm

    If I could choose any superpower, I would choose the ability to teleport. I have family all over and I would love to be able to be there in an instant and see them whenever, even if its just for a quick hug 🙂

  • Carrie January 22, 2013, 10:01 pm

    This is too funny, because sadly, we had this conversation at work last week. We pretty much all concurred that being able to see into the future would be the best. You could win the mega lottery and be set! Second was invisibility and third was the ability to read peoples mind, followed by flying. Yes we had a very in depth conversation about super powers.

  • Jillann January 22, 2013, 10:01 pm

    It’s been said a lot already, but definitely teleportation!

  • Libby @ PracticallyParenting January 22, 2013, 10:01 pm

    Super-power? Totally super speed. It would validate my need for extreme procrastination…

    So glad to see you lovin’ on these post-babe races! It gives hope to those of us who are up 20 pounds and staring third trimester in the face!

  • Sarah January 22, 2013, 10:02 pm

    Invisibility- I like to blend in.

  • Jenny January 22, 2013, 10:03 pm

    Invisible! I’m a total neb $hit…but I’m also very secretive so I’d only use what I found for good! Mostly 🙂

  • Sara January 22, 2013, 10:03 pm

    Loooove the pics with Henry at your feet..but i feel compelled to correct you-you were not able to run 3.5 miles because of a pair of socks, you were able to run it because you rock. period. =)
    Oh and if i had a superpower I would want to be able to cheer anyone up in the blink of an eye!

  • Jeannine January 22, 2013, 10:05 pm

    I would love to be able to time travel!

  • Katie @ peacebeme January 22, 2013, 10:06 pm

    I would want the ability to self-heal! Then I could be healthy again< if I win I will give these to my sister. 🙂

  • amy January 22, 2013, 10:06 pm

    Ooh – as a mom of 3 boys I would for sure be Elastigirl (from the Incredibles)!!! Perfect mom skills – being able to stretch, twist, contort the body any which way necessary would totally help with mom skills. 🙂 The socks look great!

  • Tracy January 22, 2013, 10:08 pm

    I would love to be invisible whenever I choose!!! 🙂

  • Zoey January 22, 2013, 10:08 pm

    My super power would be to have the power to “twinkle” my nose like Samantha in Bewitched and make things happen. They would all be good things, of course!

  • Cindi January 22, 2013, 10:10 pm

    My superpower would be to able to speak every single language perfectly. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

  • Katie January 22, 2013, 10:10 pm

    I have just recently fell in love with running…the dog is the one who deserves the credit for that! If I had a superpower I would love to be in multiple places at once! This way I could still work (which I love) and be home with my 3 month old (which I love even more)!

  • Katie January 22, 2013, 10:10 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to read animals’ minds! I work at a rescue facility for big cats and would love to know what the cats are thinking and how they feel.

  • Hannah January 22, 2013, 10:11 pm

    To be invisible! Love the socks!

  • Christine @ BookishlyB January 22, 2013, 10:11 pm

    As generic as it is, I’d like to be able to fly- I want to travel more and the airfare is usually an issue.

  • Jess January 22, 2013, 10:11 pm

    I was just talking about would-be super powers! I’d definitely want to be able to teleport-how cool would it be to just go somewhere for a day that you’d normally have to get on a plane for?! I’d travel all around the world!

  • Lindsay McAlester January 22, 2013, 10:12 pm

    I would have the power to stretch hours when I need extra time.

  • Allie January 22, 2013, 10:12 pm

    I was just talking about superpowers with friends this weekend. I would have the superpower to remember everything I read. I think it would be awesome!

  • Jessie January 22, 2013, 10:14 pm

    I would love to have the super power of stopping time…just so I could get all the things on my daily to do list completed!!

  • Kristen January 22, 2013, 10:14 pm

    I was just looking at Thorlo running socks online the other day. I love my thorlo hikers but haven’t bought the running socks…

    If I could have a super power, it would be to be able to teleport or aparate/disaparate.

  • sarah s January 22, 2013, 10:16 pm

    i’d be able to teleport! that way i could go visit my husband who is deployed right now! i miss him tons 🙁

    • Caitlin January 22, 2013, 10:23 pm

      🙁

  • Mo January 22, 2013, 10:16 pm

    I have always wanted to be able to fly. But, after reading comments here, reading minds might be fun too!

  • Anna January 22, 2013, 10:16 pm

    Probably mind-reading, since I spend so much time obsessing over what others might be thinking about. But I’d definitely want to be able to turn it off!
    Although, I just read the comment above, and a super memory would be great… or invisibility…
    hmmm super powers just sound dangerous, haha! 🙂

  • Lynne January 22, 2013, 10:17 pm

    For my superpower I’d want to be invisible…the proverbial fly on the wall!

  • Shelley January 22, 2013, 10:17 pm

    To think of a food and instantly have it appear, prepared to eat

  • Stephanie @ Steph's Miles January 22, 2013, 10:19 pm

    I went through two pairs of these socks during my first half marathon training. They are so awesome and prevents my usual callouses! If I had a super power it would be super, logical intelligence! And the ability to do everything 20x faster.

  • Brandy January 22, 2013, 10:20 pm

    If I had a superpower, I would want to be better at forgiveness. I’m bad at holding grudges, which brings both me and others down.

  • Megan S @ gourmet or go home January 22, 2013, 10:21 pm

    This definitely isn’t my ‘real answer’ to this question because I feel like I’d have to use it for something more important but I’ve so often wished for a camera behind my eyes that could capture my entire field of vision by blinking.

  • Jennie January 22, 2013, 10:21 pm

    Superpower = telekinesis

    So I could make coffee with my BRAIN!

  • Bonnie January 22, 2013, 10:22 pm

    FLYING! I’ve always wanted to be able to flyyyyyyy. That’s kind of why I like to run… it’s really the closest I’ll ever get to flying. 😉

  • Michal January 22, 2013, 10:23 pm

    What a great lucky find! I’d like to be able to go for three days at a time without sleep. That’d give me all the time I needed to develop other superpowers naturally :-p.
    Love the photos!

  • Emily @ The Swallow Flies January 22, 2013, 10:26 pm

    Being able to teleport would be super nice for long trips. 🙂

  • Jordan K. January 22, 2013, 10:27 pm

    Those socks look so comfy, I want a pair ASAP! Where can you buy them?

    You picked a great superpower! My superpower would be to be able to teleport. No more need for airplanes!

  • Sarah January 22, 2013, 10:32 pm

    I am really nosy so I would love to be invisible!

  • Maren January 22, 2013, 10:33 pm

    If the pics aren’t awful, they’re nothin 😉 I still think you look awesome! I definitely would want to fly. Hands down. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Jen January 22, 2013, 10:37 pm

    Teleportation!

  • Elena Vo January 22, 2013, 10:37 pm

    I’d love to be able to become invisible and a “fly on the wall” in some situations!

  • Amy H January 22, 2013, 10:37 pm

    I have to second everyone else who mentioned teleportation. As someone who travels a lot for work, the ability to eliminate air travel, hotels, and long commutes would be a dream come true!

  • Luv What You Do January 22, 2013, 10:41 pm

    Super power…wow that is one tough question. I think I’d like to read minds or know the future but that seems like a lot of responsibility. But really, I would love to be able to pause time. Like at work…pause the day and go for a run or during a busy weekend pause and finish a book. That would be wonderful!

  • Elisabeth January 22, 2013, 10:41 pm

    I’d be able to go back in time or turn back time 😉

  • Jess of Team Awesome January 22, 2013, 10:42 pm

    Mine would be flying! I get so stressed out flying that I avoid it at all costs. If I could fly, id be so much better!

  • Becca January 22, 2013, 10:45 pm

    I would love to be able to read people’s minds!

  • Meredith B. January 22, 2013, 10:48 pm

    I would love the ability to teleport! I live halfway across the country from my family and friends, so it would be really nice to get to see them without having to drive hours and hours!

  • Zoe January 22, 2013, 10:49 pm

    Congrats on your race! I have a pair of Thorlos and they ARE amazing! I could use a second pair, for sure. 😉
    My superpower would be to heal. Man, I would love to take away people’s pain.

  • Katie D. January 22, 2013, 10:49 pm

    I would love to be able to teleport – world travel for free!

  • Daniela S. January 22, 2013, 10:51 pm

    I want to be able to fly. Or be invisible. Or run really, really fast. 🙂

  • Molly January 22, 2013, 10:52 pm

    I would love to be able to read minds – would be so entertaining!! Would love some new socks for the 1/2 marathon I’m running next month!

  • Kate January 22, 2013, 10:52 pm

    I would definitely be able to pause time … but in that way where I can unpause certain people if I want. 🙂

  • Patty January 22, 2013, 10:56 pm

    My super power of choice would probably be the ability to be invisible! How cool is that? Or maybe flying too!

  • Marissa January 22, 2013, 10:57 pm

    Oooh love these socks! I would like to be able to be a healer and heal any ailment with the touch of my hand.

  • Jillian@Reshape Your Life January 22, 2013, 10:59 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to grant my own wishes… lol Does that not count? Then I’d like to be able to fly, because that would be awesome.

  • Amy @ What Jew Wanna Eat January 22, 2013, 11:05 pm

    Teleporting!

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 11:05 pm

    I’m a medical student, so I’d kill for a photographic memory! It would make studying soooo much easier 🙂

  • Lela January 22, 2013, 11:12 pm

    I would love to have the power to be in 2 places at once!

  • Brittany January 22, 2013, 11:12 pm

    I would love to be able to control time! I would slow it down and enjoy the good things in life that seem to pass too quickly. I also would love to be able to fly but that seems less useful.

  • Amy January 22, 2013, 11:14 pm

    To wake up refreshed every morning, sleep 8 hours or 20minutes and just still feel awesome!!

  • Cassidy January 22, 2013, 11:15 pm

    Maybe it is a runner thing…haha…but I’d love the ability to fly! It would bring a new perspective to every day sights.

  • Heather January 22, 2013, 11:18 pm

    i’d like to teleport!!! i live in boston now, and LOVE it ..but find myself missing my family in texas more and more. it would be so convenient to visit them with the snap of my fingers!

  • Dani January 22, 2013, 11:20 pm

    I would be able to freeze time for everyone but myself, thus giving me extra time to get things done.

  • Anu January 22, 2013, 11:22 pm

    Being able to teleport would be amazing!

  • SarahSL January 22, 2013, 11:24 pm

    I would absolutely want to be able to teleport from place to place.

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 11:27 pm

    Teleporting. Definitely the best potential super power.

  • susan January 22, 2013, 11:28 pm

    it would have to be invisibility, though that might make me more of an introvert than I already am

  • Brandi January 22, 2013, 11:29 pm

    Happy DMV clerk saying hello from Bama. If I could have a super power for just one day, I would supply all of the single moms and dads in this great country with food for one whole week. It’s that one week at the end of the month when the money has run out and you are struggling to make it, and the moms and dads go to bed hungry so their kids can eat…..one week, makes sense to me.

  • Kate January 22, 2013, 11:37 pm

    I would love to be able to apparate a la Harry Potter 🙂

  • jameil January 22, 2013, 11:38 pm

    I would be able to save old people in peril. I hate when old people are preyed upon. You live decades only to be discarded or mistreated. Not on my watch!

  • Karen January 22, 2013, 11:38 pm

    I would want to fly – mostly just for fun, not world saving.

  • Gianna January 22, 2013, 11:41 pm

    my super power would be to fly 🙂

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 11:42 pm

    I would definitely like the ability to stop time! Whether it would be to soak in a moment or just give myself a little time to get something done, it would be great!

  • Nancy January 22, 2013, 11:46 pm

    Superpower – always be kind, It doesn’t sound very super, but sometimes it can be hard and I know those are the times it is most needed.

    But I really love my one pair of Thorlo socks!!!

  • meredith January 22, 2013, 11:47 pm

    oh! it’s hard to decide. what a fun question to go with an awesome giveaway. hmm. i would love to fly but also to sleep more soundly as i’m an absurdly light sleeper.

  • Emily January 22, 2013, 11:48 pm

    The superpower I would like to have would be to be able to redo portions of my days so that I never had any regrets in life.

  • DD January 22, 2013, 11:48 pm

    I would be read people’s minds- it would help in my personal life but at work in the ER too!

  • Ali January 22, 2013, 11:50 pm

    I would love to have the power to have people’s clothes fall off (so they are naked) if they tell a lie.

  • Mary January 22, 2013, 11:50 pm

    I’d like to be able to teleport.

    Here’s a question you may be able to answer: should I buy athletic socks based on my running shoe size or my regular shoe size? Unfortunately it looks like it’d actually make a difference for me. I’ve never had fancy enough socks to have to worry about that. 🙂

  • Deb January 22, 2013, 11:51 pm

    I would be able to teleport! Congrats on the half, I’m doing the Disney Princess (my first half ever) and I can’t wait!

  • Joni Wagner January 22, 2013, 11:53 pm

    I would love to be able to teleport myself places. My niece, whose husband is deployed & she has the flu & kids to take care of, BINGO, I could be in the next state in the blink of an eye to care for her. Plus my work commute time would be zero – and think of all the fab vacations I could go on every night!

  • Diana January 22, 2013, 11:59 pm

    I’d totally love to be able to fly.

  • Hilary January 23, 2013, 12:02 am

    Love the socks! I’ve always wanted to be able to freeze time, especially when I want to take a nap in the middle of the work day. ;-).

  • Jena January 23, 2013, 12:04 am

    Super Power = Remote Viewing

    So I’d be able to see and hear what was going on in the world with anyone , anywhere, anytime that I want all from the comfort of my couch :-0

  • Marissa Lucero January 23, 2013, 12:05 am

    If I had a super power I’d have to go with being a wizard like good ol’ Harry Potter. Is that a superpower? I mean he does magic? I don’t really care… Hogwarts is awesome and probably way better than real school 😉

  • nicole January 23, 2013, 12:05 am

    I would want to stop the hunger andsuffering that people are experiencing and give them the chance to live the life that they deserve.

  • Allie January 23, 2013, 12:06 am

    I’d love to have the ability to change the weather! Climate change? No guys, I got this.

  • Katie January 23, 2013, 12:11 am

    I would definitely want to fly! I had so many dreams when I was little that I would try to fly and could barely get off the ground. Childhood dream 🙂

  • Heather January 23, 2013, 12:12 am

    I wound like to be able to fly, not only could I fly to any race I wanted I could win them also.

  • Leah January 23, 2013, 12:13 am

    I would want to be able to keep dogs and cats puppies and kittens forever.

  • Wehaf January 23, 2013, 12:17 am

    I would love to be able to read (and comprehend what I read) at lightning speed.

  • Lauren January 23, 2013, 12:18 am

    I would love to be able to teleport! It would be so convenient!

  • Stacy January 23, 2013, 12:23 am

    If I had any superpower, it would be flying, because airfare these days is just ridiculous!

  • Melissa C. January 23, 2013, 12:24 am

    Hmmm so many to choose from. I think if I were to pick a super power I would want to have a bottomless pit for a stomach/never ending ability to eat. I loveee food but 99% of the time my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Boo 🙁

  • Alicia Wynn January 23, 2013, 12:24 am

    Mine is kind of lame, but my superpower would be the ability to just think about getting the laundry out of the dryer and put away, and it would magically happen!

  • Renee January 23, 2013, 12:25 am

    I would love to be able to fly–never mind the claim that everyone would really rather be invisible.

  • Ashley January 23, 2013, 12:27 am

    I would control time!!

  • Lisa Posner January 23, 2013, 12:27 am

    My super power would definitely be teleportation! No more getting stuck in traffic or commuting to work. No more hours wasted in a car or on a plane to go on vacation. Best of all–I could visit friends and family who live all over any time I want!

  • Jamie January 23, 2013, 12:38 am

    To be able to fall asleep anywhere and at anytime through the snap of my fingers hehe. I know it might not seem like a super power but for the rest of my life I’d be well rested!

  • Courtney January 23, 2013, 12:39 am

    I would love to be able to shop with abandon and buy things for all the people I love… And be able to complete every pin that I’ve pinned on pinterest.

  • Emily January 23, 2013, 12:39 am

    If I could have a superpower it would be to fly like a bird, not a plane, a bird because I love and admire birds. Besides I would be super strong and have a super fast metabolism!

  • Heidi Nicole January 23, 2013, 12:42 am

    I am wearing the bright yellow version of those socks right now…I love them!

    My super hero skill would be one of two things – either morphing into something else so I can just hang out and no one knows I’m there…but then if I’m a fly they could swat me to death, or my cat would eat me. My other skill would be having everything I put into the oven come out perfectly!

  • Veronica January 23, 2013, 12:42 am

    I would like to be able to teleport. Either that or be able to ctrl+z life.

  • Sidney January 23, 2013, 12:48 am

    Stop time for sure! I’d be getting that extra hour of sleep every morning 😉

  • Janice January 23, 2013, 12:53 am

    Although its a bit cliche, I am a nurse so my super power would definately involve healing the sick. And not always cancer but illnessess and injuries that forever affect ones ability to live and enjoy life! So, there it is & I’d love some new socks!!

  • mary January 23, 2013, 1:06 am

    to fly super fast!

  • LaurenG January 23, 2013, 1:06 am

    Love these socks. And would love another pair! I would want to be able to read people’s minds.

  • Kt January 23, 2013, 1:24 am

    I would fly for sure! I freakin love those socks, I was just saying the other day that I want more of them, they really are better than all my other athletic socks.

  • BonnieK January 23, 2013, 1:48 am

    I wish I could freeze time or turn back time, so if I made a huge mistake, I could press “rewind” and change what’d happened.

  • Sarah r January 23, 2013, 2:30 am

    I was looking for new running socks to try!

    I wish I could teleport from place to place. I feel like I spend so much time in the car (to work, from work, driving to visit family) and I just wish I could snap my fingers & have it be instantaneous instead! Especially with a 10 month old who doesn’t love her car seat 😉

  • Ammera January 23, 2013, 3:14 am

    I would fly! I fly in my dreams so I’d love to do it in real life.

  • Erin January 23, 2013, 3:29 am

    I would want the ability to never need sleep, so I wasn’t tired, but I could also fall asleep effortlessly if I wanted too. 🙂

  • Mikella January 23, 2013, 4:12 am

    Teleportation! I am always running late and I HATE traffic. I would love to just be able to snap my fingers and arrive to my destination moments later. Plus, no more shelling out $3.50/gallon for gas!

  • Kristen January 23, 2013, 4:16 am

    I would want the ability to fly…still holding out hope someone will invent a jet pack during my lifetime. 🙂

    And cool giveaway! I love socks!

  • Robin January 23, 2013, 4:37 am

    Great job on the race!

    I would love to be able to fly. I dream about it sometimes and it’s so cool!

  • natalie January 23, 2013, 4:39 am

    It’s the common one – but what human doesn’t want to fly? well I guess I know some… but anyhow, just to be able to leap into the air, step out like in my sleeping dreams onto the tundra of air and soar:) I love heights and running… and to combine them, even if it were to turn into a bird or something would just feel so awesome. The closest you can get to that feeling I guess is swimming – so free and graceful underwater, but within the air. Ok there was my poetic rendition thanks those socks look fabulous! frugal college student here thought running in bare thin cotton ones were ok… 😛

  • Marisa January 23, 2013, 4:40 am

    Those do look pretty incredible. Ive learned that shelling out the big bucks for socks actually does pay off.

    My superpower would be to have an additional hour to sneak in whenever I wanted to use for anything I chose!

  • Hania January 23, 2013, 4:46 am

    My superpower would be… hard to decide! but I think I’d chose: I’d love to make people’s problems disappear 🙂

  • Marijke January 23, 2013, 5:01 am

    I would want to be able to stop time! Especially with my baby due on 27th February…
    So much to do, so little time!

  • Nicole A January 23, 2013, 5:31 am

    I’d love to be invisible and be a little fly on a wall sometimes!

  • Marcie January 23, 2013, 5:33 am

    reading minds

  • Tess January 23, 2013, 5:38 am

    FLY!!!! I wish I could fly all over. I would visit family, friends and place and share what and who I saw with anyone who would listen 😉

  • Rachel January 23, 2013, 5:40 am

    I’d like to have superpowers like Genie from “I Dream of Genie.” Ya know, like being able to nod my head and instantly have dinner ready, or the house picked up. It would really free up a lot of time for me to do other things I want (or need) to do. I think my family would appreciate it too. 🙂

    I would LOVE a pair of these socks.

  • Debbie B. January 23, 2013, 5:41 am

    I love to travel and wish I could see more of my family who live out of state. Therefore I wish I could transport myself anywhere within seconds. Like beam me up Scottie but I don’t have to say it.

  • Alyssa January 23, 2013, 5:43 am

    I’d like to be able to fly because getting around in LA is ridiculous!

  • Ay January 23, 2013, 5:56 am

    I would totally want to fly. In fact, sometimes I have dreams that I can..and wake up and think that I can!

  • Verna January 23, 2013, 5:58 am

    I’d like to be able to clean the house at warp speed. 😉 That would really make my life so much easier!

  • Kim January 23, 2013, 5:59 am

    To never age.

  • Emma January 23, 2013, 6:01 am

    Geek alert, but I’d love to be able to absorb and understand everything in a book just by holding it. I could finally tick ‘learn Spanish’ from my Life List, amongst other things! 🙂

  • F. Plvan January 23, 2013, 6:09 am

    My superpower would be that I could read minds!

  • Brittnie (A Joy Renewed) January 23, 2013, 6:16 am

    Superpower = ability to speak and understand any language. How cool would that be??

  • Nadine January 23, 2013, 6:17 am

    Great looking socks! If I had super powers, it would be the ability to clone myself! I’m always thinking about what else I need to be doing, so if I could send myself (or many of myselfs) to do those other things…We’d be very productive!

  • nilam January 23, 2013, 6:21 am

    I would love to be able to teleport!

  • Heidi January 23, 2013, 6:24 am

    I have a just turned 5 year old and a 2 year old. My superpower would be the ability to function normally throughout the day on little to no sleep without feeling the least bit tired! That would be AWESOME!!! 🙂

  • Ashley F January 23, 2013, 6:25 am

    I’d love to never get sick. I’m not sue its an official super power but I’d love to not get the traditional coughs and headcolds each year! Plus my training plan would never get out of wack if I felt great everyday 🙂

  • Michele January 23, 2013, 6:25 am

    I think it would be really cool to liquify yourself and move from place to place quickly……like Alex Mack used to do!!! haha

  • Elizabeth January 23, 2013, 6:27 am

    Hilarious photo!

    Time travel, for sure! 🙂

  • Hilary January 23, 2013, 6:36 am

    I would love the ability to grow more arms! Then I could hold both kids and cook dinner at the same time 🙂

  • Joy January 23, 2013, 6:57 am

    If I could have any super power it’d be to talk to the dead – then I could learn from their mistakes and triumphs

  • Joanna January 23, 2013, 7:00 am

    I would choose to be able to travel anywhere in the blink of an eye! I would love to visit our family that all over the country.

  • Hillary January 23, 2013, 7:01 am

    I think I’d apparate/teleport (they are the same thing, right? Maybe?) My fiance and I are long distance, and we often marvel at how much easier our lives would be if one of us could work that out!

  • Kellie W January 23, 2013, 7:03 am

    The power to fly, but only if I could bring my family with me…sometimes. 🙂

  • Anna S. January 23, 2013, 7:04 am

    I would definitely want to be able to be invisible. Transporting would be awesome, but truthfully, I love people watching. And sometimes, you get crazy looks while you’re just staring at someone. If you were invisible, they wouldn’t know. People are fascinating, no?

  • Megan January 23, 2013, 7:10 am

    I would love to be able to teleport! No more wasting tons of time commuting to work!

  • Nina January 23, 2013, 7:12 am

    I would love to be super fast, not only in running, but in everything. I could get done with things a lot faster and would have more time for the things I enjoy!

  • Kaitlyn January 23, 2013, 7:12 am

    I would love to pull a Harry Potter and apparate to work in the morning (avoiding my 50 minute commute!)

  • Daniela C. January 23, 2013, 7:13 am

    I would like to be able to become invisible. !!

  • Lisa January 23, 2013, 7:17 am

    Those socks are the BEST. I have one pair….LOVE! My super power….definitely flying 🙂

  • Vanessa January 23, 2013, 7:17 am

    I’m going to agree with a lot of other people and say that I wish I could teleport. It would make living abroad so much easier if I could just teleport home for all the American holidays and an occasional weekend with my family.

  • Amber January 23, 2013, 7:20 am

    Very cute socks! I would choose invisibility!

  • Shannon January 23, 2013, 7:21 am

    I would choose the ability to fly, or otherwise transport myself elsewhere with lightning speed. Think how easy it would be to go on vacation to a faraway tropical beach! However, I guess I’d also need the ability to NOT be scared of flying, heights, and falling to my accidental death.

  • Ali @ Super Mario Twins January 23, 2013, 7:23 am

    I would love to teleport obviously! Have lunch in Paris and dinner in Dubai? Yes, please! But I think I would use my powers most for teleporting from the couch to the bed every night when I’m half asleep!

  • Regina January 23, 2013, 7:26 am

    I’d love the ability to mind read. Not just anyone, but my son. Jackson just turned 5 months old Saturday and I swear that kid is nonstop with all his ridiculous facial expressions, squeals and squeaks, babbles and constant curious wonder. I would give anything to be able to know what he was thinking. I bet it’s ridiculous!

  • Laurel January 23, 2013, 7:27 am

    My dream superpower would be to be able to stop time. Everyone else would freeze but I could go about my business and get everything done that I needed without missing a second!

  • Heather January 23, 2013, 7:28 am

    I would want the ability to be in two places at once!

  • Liane January 23, 2013, 7:28 am

    I would definitely want to FLY!

  • Haley January 23, 2013, 7:29 am

    So many superpowers I would love to have – but I think I would go with teleporting if I could only pick one. It would save me so much time!!!

  • Cori January 23, 2013, 7:31 am

    I’d like to be able to never get out of breath or tired. That would be amazing.

  • Kylee January 23, 2013, 7:31 am

    My superpower would be to fly! I would love to get places quicker!

  • kiri January 23, 2013, 7:32 am

    I would want to take on the powers of those around me. This way I can experience a variety of different super powers. Heroes, anyone?!

  • Adrienne J January 23, 2013, 7:34 am

    To have never ending willpower! Maybe a sad superpower but MAN would I achieve a lot!!

  • Laura @ RunningJunkie123 January 23, 2013, 7:37 am

    I am going sock-hunting today, so thanks for the advice!

    If I had a superpower it would be to teleport! That’d be such a time saver!!

  • Rebecca @ Naturally Healthy and Gorgeous January 23, 2013, 7:41 am

    I would like to have a super memory. I have been debating buying those socks, but I have been hesitant because of their price. I would love to try a pair!

  • Lauren January 23, 2013, 7:43 am

    Teleportation! I would travel the world!

  • Cole January 23, 2013, 7:50 am

    My superpower would be to fly! How fun would that be 😉

  • Lisa January 23, 2013, 7:53 am

    Too cheap to move into NYC i would choose the ability to teleport:) No lines to wait on, no traffic, and no stress 🙂 And maybe i’d hit up Paris for some lunch too:)

  • Sara January 23, 2013, 7:53 am

    Since moving to a large city my superpower would be having the ability to create and find free parking spaces, close to my destination, at all times. ha!

  • melisa January 23, 2013, 7:53 am

    Ok mine are tied…but definitely one would be the ability to fly…sounds sooo amazing! (like others above, i’ve definitely had flying dreams -so cool!) and the other would be to be able to speak/understand every language in the world!

  • Mina January 23, 2013, 7:54 am

    Well, this isn’t really a superpower but I would love to sleep for 6-8 hours a night. I have chronic insomnia, so I’m lucky if I get 4…..

    Those socks look AMAZING! I always run in cheap socks too. I might have to splurge on a pair!

    Mina

  • Jennifer January 23, 2013, 7:54 am

    My superpower would be to take care of my child with one brain and sleep with the other!!!! (especially at 2 am)

  • Leah January 23, 2013, 7:55 am

    I’d fly — just to beat city traffic!

  • Aimee January 23, 2013, 8:01 am

    I would definitely have to say my superpower of choice would be teleportation! There are many times my husband and I look at each other before a long flight/drive/etc back home and both say “if only we could snap our fingers and be home snuggling..” how awesome would that be?!

  • Allie January 23, 2013, 8:02 am

    Oh, I desperately need some new running socks! If I could have one superpower, I would choose invisibility!

  • Lindsay wells January 23, 2013, 8:02 am

    I would love the power to freeze and unfreeze time like the girl from the 80s show, “out of this world”!!! 🙂

  • Caroline January 23, 2013, 8:05 am

    Teleporting! Absolutely. Would love to be able to visit anyone anytime!!

  • Adelyn January 23, 2013, 8:13 am

    The super-power that I want is the ability to help people switch their energy and focus to achieve the very best of their heart wishes.

    I believe this super-power exists…and I am working on it. Dreams do come true!!

  • Molly @ RDexposed January 23, 2013, 8:14 am

    Teleportation. Have you seen Midwest temperatures recently? Also, think of the gas price savings. And car payments. And insurance. Visit long-distance family.
    The more I think about it, the better my decision seems.

    PS, go to Hogwarts for you super power.

  • Lindsey M. January 23, 2013, 8:14 am

    I would love to have the power of snapping my fingers when I wake up in the morning and magically being showered, dressed, and ready to go!

  • lesley January 23, 2013, 8:15 am

    I would want to control time! Speed up those boring days at work and slow down the fun times 🙂

  • Clizia January 23, 2013, 8:16 am

    My superpower would definitely be teleporting! I live 1000 miles away from my family.

  • Faith January 23, 2013, 8:18 am

    I blister so badly, I could use a padded pair to try out!

    Flying would definitely be my gig. No more dealing with Orlando traffic…I win.

  • Shanna January 23, 2013, 8:19 am

    Teleportation!

  • Jen January 23, 2013, 8:19 am

    The character Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has the super power you want Caitlin! #I’mageek

    I would want healing super power, so I could heal my fiance who has a rare disorder.

  • Laura January 23, 2013, 8:20 am

    I would like to make everyone believe what I said was true. Like in the movie, ‘Push’!

  • Elizabeth B. January 23, 2013, 8:22 am

    I would love to be able to fly.

  • Nicole@livingthesweetlifestl.com January 23, 2013, 8:22 am

    I would love to be invisible…it would be fun to see what other people are doing sometimes.

  • Jennifer January 23, 2013, 8:22 am

    I would love to be able to teleport to wherever I want to go.

  • Kim January 23, 2013, 8:23 am

    I’d want to fly for sure!

    PS I have Thorlos in blue and love them – I’ve run all my ultra marathons in them!

  • James January 23, 2013, 8:23 am

    I’d love the super power of invisibility.

  • Sunny January 23, 2013, 8:24 am

    Either teleportation or flight, being able to get somewhere far quickly would be amazing!

  • Robyn January 23, 2013, 8:26 am

    I would love too be a time traveller. It would be so cool to go back in time to see what it was like when I was born or when my parents were growing up etc!

    P.S. love those baby toes!!!

  • Robyn January 23, 2013, 8:26 am

    Although flying would be amazing, I’d love to have the superpower to talk to animals! That would be a dream to know what my two pups are thinking and communicate with them!

  • Elizabeth January 23, 2013, 8:26 am

    I would love to have the superpower of teleportation! Traveling is a passion of mine, but airports are not!

  • kalli January 23, 2013, 8:26 am

    i want to fly!

  • BeepieRuns January 23, 2013, 8:28 am

    Ever since being a little girl I’ve had dreams of being able to fly – it sure would help on those long runs! Hahah!

  • Brittney January 23, 2013, 8:30 am

    I’d go with flying! Running socks are a must for me if I’m running more than about 4 miles. They make a huge difference!

  • Christine January 23, 2013, 8:31 am

    I’m going to have to take the obvious route and say immortality. A classic for a reason.

  • Lindsay@A Healthy State of Mind January 23, 2013, 8:31 am

    Teleport! Especially in this freeeeeeeezing Boston weather! Thanks for the chance to win those socks– they look comfy 🙂

  • Jill January 23, 2013, 8:32 am

    Super speed, to get lots more done every day!!

  • Kelly January 23, 2013, 8:34 am

    Teleport for sure. Traffic and travel be gone!

  • Joy January 23, 2013, 8:35 am

    I think your photo looks good–it shows effort!

    I think I would choose invisibility as my superpower.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  • Sara January 23, 2013, 8:36 am

    I’d like to be sneaky like a cat. They can jump high distances, squeeze in tight places and walk around without being detected on their little cat feet as long as they don’t have a bell on their collar. They always land on their feet too!

  • Nikole January 23, 2013, 8:37 am

    As a mommy I would now like to have the ability to clone myself. I used to want to be invisible but now I would like to have multiples of myself so that I could take a break or nap when I should be cleaning or fixing dinner.

  • Victoria January 23, 2013, 8:41 am

    If I could have a super power it would definitely be the ability to fly. The idea of being able to have all that freedom to go wherever I wanted whenever I wanted is awesome. Plus flying would probably be a bangin’ workout :p

  • Kassie January 23, 2013, 8:41 am

    I would love to be able to stop time, or have magic baby sleeping powers 🙂

  • Barbara January 23, 2013, 8:43 am

    Definitely flying. I’d be able to get places faster and wouldn’t have to deal with traffic! Plus, the views would be gorgeous!

    I LOVE Thorlo socks. Thankfullly, my mom got me a few pairs as gifts and I’ve been using them as I train for the Boston marathon!

  • Jenny January 23, 2013, 8:44 am

    I second all the folks who’ve said “teleportation.” I would love to be able to instantly zap myself anywhere in the world. I would definitely visit my friends on the other side of the country a lot more often!

  • Kristina N. January 23, 2013, 8:45 am

    Definitely teleport! I would get so so much more done.

  • cristin January 23, 2013, 8:46 am

    Teleportation! Or invisibility. Or flying. Basically, I want to be Harry Potter.

  • Melanie January 23, 2013, 8:47 am

    I don’t know if this is a really a superpower, but it would be super to be fluent in all foreign languages!

  • Sarah January 23, 2013, 8:47 am

    I would like the power to snap my fingers and teleport. That way I’d never have to sit in rush hour traffic!

  • Kate January 23, 2013, 8:49 am

    My super power would be to talk to animals, my favorite part of the day is getting up and letting the dogs out of their cage and watching them stretch and wake up. The whole time I sit there and wonder what is going on in that head of theirs!

  • Amy January 23, 2013, 8:55 am

    I would like to be able to control time – slow it down during vacation and speed it up during the work week.
    Those socks look amazing!

  • Kelsey Y. January 23, 2013, 8:56 am

    I’m in the process of training for my first half-marathon in June, and I’m looking for great socks that can stand the distance! And if I had a super power, I’m pretty sure it would be teleporting. There would be no reason for a car, and I would be able to go somewhere just by thinking about it! How convenient for when life gets busy!

  • Jenny January 23, 2013, 8:56 am

    I would want the power to stop time for everyone but me so that I could accomplish more in a day!

  • Megan January 23, 2013, 8:56 am

    If I could have a super power it would be the ability to teleport haha!

  • TanyaS January 23, 2013, 8:57 am

    I’d love to be able to read minds, it would save so much confusion and second guessing!

    I’ve never tried real running socks, might be worth the investment 🙂

  • Lisa January 23, 2013, 9:01 am

    A lot of people already said this but most definitely teleporting! It would be also to be able to travel anywhere in seconds! I hate travel time.

  • Wendy January 23, 2013, 9:01 am

    Move around at high speeds. I’d be able to do everything THAT much faster !!

  • Monica January 23, 2013, 9:02 am

    Aw, baby feet!!

    I’d be like Solomon of the Bible and ask for the superpower of wisdom.

  • Brooke January 23, 2013, 9:03 am

    I think I would want to be able to control nature, like Layla from Sky High 😉 That would be awesome!

  • Becca January 23, 2013, 9:04 am

    I’d be able to pause time!! That way I could get more done + sleep more 😀

  • Sara January 23, 2013, 9:05 am

    Is there a super power where you just blink and you can be somewhere else? That’s what is want!

  • Lindsay January 23, 2013, 9:05 am

    The superpower to not get tired and always have energy. I lovelovelove sleep, but it sure does get in the way of everything I want to get done!

  • Elizabeth January 23, 2013, 9:07 am

    My super power would be the ability to add extra hours to the day, only on the days when I need it. As a busy mom who works full time, there are some days where I would just love to have another 2-3 hours to get stuff done. Not every day, mind you, but just on the crazy hectic days!

  • Lindsay @ Healthforagers January 23, 2013, 9:07 am

    Those socks look amazing. If I had a superpower it would be to add more hours into the day or to slow time down so that I could get more done in an hour. Ahh, that sounds so nice.

  • Annamaria January 23, 2013, 9:08 am

    If I had any superpower it would be the ability to fly.

  • Kassidy January 23, 2013, 9:09 am

    I would like the superpower of being able to be super strong, pretty generic but I would love to beat my brother in a arm wrestle!

  • Kate January 23, 2013, 9:09 am

    I’d like to know what my baby is thinking! 🙂 That, and remembering people’s names after meeting them only once. Both definitely super powers in my book! Congrats on your race!

  • Meghan January 23, 2013, 9:09 am

    Definite invisibility!

  • Melissa January 23, 2013, 9:10 am

    teleportation!!!!!

  • elissa January 23, 2013, 9:11 am

    If I had one super power it would be to be able to see into the future…. I’d love to know what is going to happen!

  • eliza January 23, 2013, 9:12 am

    I would grant peoples wishes with the snap of my finger 🙂

  • Janet January 23, 2013, 9:13 am

    I’d like to fly, mostly because I don’t have my drivers license yet.

  • Jesse (OutToLunchCreations) January 23, 2013, 9:13 am

    My superpower would be healing abilities. So I could heal myself, family, friends and anyone who is in pain.

  • Christin January 23, 2013, 9:14 am

    I’m totally stealing other people’s answers and saying: teleportation. Only I could bring anything I’m touching with me – so I could travel with people/stuff etc. That would be SO COOL!!

  • Michelle @ Lifewithacrazypup January 23, 2013, 9:17 am

    I’m going to go out on a limb here as say something original… I’d like to fly! Haha!

  • Whit January 23, 2013, 9:18 am

    I would like to be able to teleport 🙂 I love travelling, besides the whole ‘plane, train and automobile’ part of it…

  • Jillian January 23, 2013, 9:18 am

    Last night I had a dream that I was Wonder Woman. Only instead of actually helping people I would fly around to where bad things had already happened and say cliche things about how thing WILL be wonderful in the future. That’s a terrible super power. I want to teleport!

  • Megan January 23, 2013, 9:19 am

    Flying!

  • Katie P. January 23, 2013, 9:20 am

    I’d like to magically be ready for bed every night without actually having to do anything – change, wash my face, brush my teeth…ugh! So much work 🙂

  • Abbey January 23, 2013, 9:21 am

    I agree with everyone else … teleport! I would want to be able to not only take just me but whoever/whatever I wanted with me!

  • Meghan @ Rhymes with Dots January 23, 2013, 9:22 am

    I love Thorlo socks! My mom spoiled me with a pair recently and I’m hooked.

    If I had a super power, I’d love to be able to teleport – not having to deal with Atlanta traffic? Yes please.

  • Elizabeth January 23, 2013, 9:23 am

    I would love to be in a few places at once! I could go to work, stay at home with my son AND help out at my daughters school! That would be awesome!!

  • Katie January 23, 2013, 9:23 am

    My superpower would be able to be a fly on a wall, I wonder what my friends are like at work and wiuld love to buzz around their offices!

  • lauren salak January 23, 2013, 9:24 am

    DEFINITELY the power to fly– i’d fly to florida right now, as it’s 8 degrees in chilly Connecticut this morning!

  • Beks January 23, 2013, 9:25 am

    That’s kind of a creepy superpower, Caitlyn. But to each her own. 🙂

    Personally, I’d want the ability to breathe under water. I’m not a strong swimmer, but think it would be cool to go SCUBA diving. My biggest problem with swimming is freaking out over running out of air, so if I could breathe under water, I’d have no problems. 🙂

  • Caitlin January 23, 2013, 9:25 am

    I’ve been looking for a new pair of running socks! Thanks for the review!

    My super power would be to move super fast. That way I could get everything done that I need to and still have time left at the end of the day!

  • Lauren January 23, 2013, 9:26 am

    I borrowed a pair of these socks from my sister the other day for a workout and they were amazing! Good find!
    My superpower would be to super fast so I could be the greatest multi-tasker…. dinner, dishes, laundry, DONE!

  • Sarah January 23, 2013, 9:26 am

    I would love to go back in time

  • Blythe January 23, 2013, 9:27 am

    My husband and I talk about this from time to time, especially when Heroes was on. #nerdalert
    I think I’d like to have exceptional athletic ability!

  • Endless Summer January 23, 2013, 9:28 am

    I would like a teleport power! Oh, How I wish I were on Hawaii right now! lol

  • Heidi January 23, 2013, 9:28 am

    If I could have any super power I’d have to be flying! It would save me a ton of gas money!

  • Diana January 23, 2013, 9:29 am

    My super power would be to control time! No more time wasted traveling, in line, etc!

    Those socks look awesome and glad they come in larger sizes for big-footed ladies like me!

  • Janelle January 23, 2013, 9:31 am

    Does singing count as a superpower? Because that’s all I really want – to be able to sing half-decently without scaring pets, small children, and squirrels (or anything else in my vicinity!) Maybe my singing would become a superpower in that it would cure illnesses and make people happy and get children to do their homework!

  • Natalie @ Free Range Human January 23, 2013, 9:33 am

    This one is super easy-teleportation. Hands down!

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 9:34 am

    Mine would definitely be teleportation (I know a lot of others have said this) but think about how much time, gas, and stress it would save!

  • Danielle M. January 23, 2013, 9:34 am

    I would definitely want to be able to teleport – I hate traveling, but love getting to where I need to be!

  • Lisa N January 23, 2013, 9:34 am

    I would totally fly!

  • Michelle M January 23, 2013, 9:35 am

    I would like to be a human lie detector. This is something I’d most like to use on my oldest child. He’s very sneaky sometimes.

  • Kelly January 23, 2013, 9:37 am

    I would love to be able to be 2 places at once! That way I would never have to miss one child sporting event to be at the others…

  • Trisha January 23, 2013, 9:37 am

    I wish that I could speed read so that I can read more books and articles for work. Either way, I think I’ll also look into buying these socks as I begin to train for my first half-marathon this year – eek!

  • Heather January 23, 2013, 9:38 am

    If I had a super power, I think I would want to be able to grant wishes. There are so many people that I would love to help. I know, that kind of sounds like a silly super power.

  • Becca January 23, 2013, 9:39 am

    I would want the super power of healing. That would be so amazing to be able to heal all those who are sick, wounded or in any sort of pain.

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 9:41 am

    TELEPORT so I could visit my friends/family easily. Do they make these socks for men too? My fiance is recovering and has recovered from becoming paralyzed on one side by brain surgery and he runs 3-4x per week for at least 3 miles each time – he did over 500 miles last year! Not bad for a left hemiplegic. Anyway, the socks would be amazing support for his affected side! I would totally buy them for a gift for him for his accomplishment.

    Your photo is so telling of finishing a race in the sand, for certain! Good luck on your race this weekend 🙂 You’re inspiring me to get back in the habit of running after baby. My son was born two weeks before Henry and also has an H name 🙂 Have a happy week!

  • kristina January 23, 2013, 9:41 am

    My superpower would be strength or speed! I can’t decide. 😉

  • Emily B. January 23, 2013, 9:42 am

    I’d love to be able to fly and be able to visit my friends across the country!

  • Kim January 23, 2013, 9:45 am

    My superpower would be flight. Since I was a little girl I’ve been having dreams that I’m outside running in the yard and then VWOOSH! I take off and start flying 🙂

  • Kristin @ Wounded Fawn January 23, 2013, 9:45 am

    My super power would be to let everyone feel real love. Since love is the answer to all things it seems like that power would do the most good!

    I wear these socks just for everyday life because I have foot problems! I would love to score another pair!

  • Nikki January 23, 2013, 9:46 am

    I would love the ability to teleport…no commutes, no planes, you could save so much time and travel anywhere 🙂

  • Amye January 23, 2013, 9:51 am

    Interesting question! I would teleport. I could go any where I wanted any time!

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 9:51 am

    Although a fe people have said it, I’d want to be able to teleport. How nice it would be to easily visit friends and family at the drop of a hat!

  • April January 23, 2013, 9:52 am

    If I could have any super power it would be to stop time! My girls are growing up too fast!.

  • Ali @ Around the VeggieTable January 23, 2013, 9:53 am

    I would DEFINITELY want the power to teleport. Life would be so much easier! And also…I can’t believe you have been running in cotton socks all this time! Cotton is rotten! Lol

  • Rebecca B. January 23, 2013, 9:55 am

    Sign me up for teleporting, too!

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 9:56 am

    My superpower would be kind of a practical one: At night when the temperature drops and I don’t have enough blankets to keep me warm, my body would temporarily cover itself with fur to keep me nice and toasty. I camp a lot…

  • Amber January 23, 2013, 9:57 am

    Humm super-power you say? I would want to transport myself anywere! Dinner with the parents in Iowa tonight? Sure just snap my fingers and I’m there. Best friend 5 hours away having a bad day, snap. Paintball tourny in CA? Snap there and snap back in my own bed for the night! Humm It would save lots of $$ to!

  • Karen B January 23, 2013, 9:58 am

    I would love to have these socks to give as a gift to a runner friend with a very tight budget.

    If I had a super power it would be to teleport (with luggage). No more airplane fees!

  • Lindsey January 23, 2013, 9:59 am

    My Superpower dream has ALWAYS been tele transport! I have so many places I’d like to be sometimes, and what a gift it would be to pop in and out of all the special occasions and events in life!

    Congrats on your 1st post baby half! You rocked it!

  • Marisa January 23, 2013, 10:01 am

    To snap my fingers and magically appear anywhere in the world

  • Amy January 23, 2013, 10:01 am

    Definitely teleportation! The thought of skipping TSA and 18 hour flights is amazing!

  • lauren January 23, 2013, 10:02 am

    My super power would be like a personal assistant and do my dishes and clean my place and other lame chores. Maybe it would allow me to do it all in 10 mins

  • Casey January 23, 2013, 10:04 am

    I would have the ability to speak every language in the world.

  • tiffany January 23, 2013, 10:07 am

    hmmmm i don’t think i’d want a superpower…is that lame? haha.

  • Sara January 23, 2013, 10:07 am

    Those socks sound perfect!! If I had a super power it would either be having the ablility to move things with my mind like that super old show “The Secret World of Alex Mack,” or to be able to teleport myself. Especially on cold days so I can just teleport myself to work or school!!

  • Zana January 23, 2013, 10:08 am

    I would like to teleport as well, travel anywhere, get to work in a second (bye bye 45min commute each way), in and out of the grocery store in case you forget an ingredient, no pumping gas…the possibilities are endless.

  • Sara January 23, 2013, 10:10 am

    My superpower would definitely be teleportation. I would love to be able to travel the world easily & for free! 🙂

  • Sheila January 23, 2013, 10:11 am

    I would like the superpower of healing.

  • Adriana January 23, 2013, 10:12 am

    I’d love to be able to teleport/apparate (clear Harry Potter geek here). I have an hour commute everyday and if I could just zap myself into work I could do so many more productive things with those two hours!

  • sara @ fitcupcaker January 23, 2013, 10:12 am

    If I could have a super power it would be to communicate with my dogs…i guess that would be a power of the dog, but oh well 🙂 I always wonder what they are thinking 🙂

  • Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries January 23, 2013, 10:15 am

    I wish I had a superpower to make my hair magically DONE and perfect looking! I hate doing my hair!

  • Alison January 23, 2013, 10:15 am

    This is a great giveaway, I am in the market for long run/race socks. I think my super power would be the ability to be invisible…harry potter invisibility cloak style, perhaps.

  • Emily January 23, 2013, 10:15 am

    For my superpower I would like to be able to enter children’s dreams and change nightmares to amazing dreams!

  • Day January 23, 2013, 10:17 am

    time travel (does that count?)–moreover the ability to go back in time

  • Shannon January 23, 2013, 10:20 am

    I would love to be able to go invisible!

  • Jonelle January 23, 2013, 10:21 am

    I wouldd like the power to fly. I hate flying on planes. If I could fly myself places, it’d be so much easier and less anxiety inducing.

  • Stephanie January 23, 2013, 10:21 am

    Teleporting would be amazing!

  • Nicole January 23, 2013, 10:23 am

    I would be able to snap my fingers and make anything I want happen, like a genie.

  • Colleen S January 23, 2013, 10:24 am

    I think flying would be awesome!

  • Michelle January 23, 2013, 10:25 am

    I would definitely be invisible! I have always been SO jealous of Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak 🙂

  • melissa January 23, 2013, 10:26 am

    Super power would be teleporting – to much time spent on getting to a place! I would rather have that time with friends/family/loved ones!

  • Kelly January 23, 2013, 10:26 am

    I would totally teleport! You’d be able to travel everywhere in the blink of an eye!!

  • Claire January 23, 2013, 10:26 am

    I wouldn’t mind being able to fly! Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Abbey January 23, 2013, 10:27 am

    I want the power to read minds. Everyone ALWAYS tries to talk me out of this one, but I stand strong — on one condition. I want to get to turn it off when I want. 🙂

  • Cathy January 23, 2013, 10:27 am

    I would love to be able to fly.

  • Amisha January 23, 2013, 10:27 am

    I would love to move through time forward and back! That way I could speed up the last few weeks of work before I get a break.

  • Jen January 23, 2013, 10:28 am

    To always trust myself

  • Becca January 23, 2013, 10:29 am

  • Megan LH January 23, 2013, 10:29 am

    Mine would be everlasting energy! That would be awesome and helpful in races too :)!

  • Kate January 23, 2013, 10:31 am

    To be able to teleport. It’s so freakin’ cold in Chicago – I wish I could just to to and from work without having to go outside!

  • megan January 23, 2013, 10:31 am

    I would love to read babies minds…I have a ten month old and my husband and I always wonder what the heck she is thinking inside of her little head!

  • jessica January 23, 2013, 10:32 am

    this will make me sound like a total nerd, but i’m going to say it anyway. just finished brandon sanderson’s novel “mistborn” and right now more than anything, i’d like to BE a mistborn. it’s pretty much a combination of the greatest super powers ever! 🙂

    also, these socks are so cute! i’m so glad they helped you run a great race – i loved your race review this time. brought tears to my oversensitive eyes! 😉

  • Jenn January 23, 2013, 10:33 am

    Love those socks! I would love to be able to fly! 🙂

  • Kelsey January 23, 2013, 10:35 am

    I would want to be able to teleport…common theme! I would love to be able to travel anywhere in an instant.

  • Amy January 23, 2013, 10:38 am

    I never understood what a difference good socks make until I was peer pressured into buying some, then LOVED them. I’m so glad I tried them out and would love to try these! If I could have a superpower it would definitely be teleporting- seems like it would make everything so much easier, and world travel could be FREE! wahoo!

  • Kandie January 23, 2013, 10:38 am

    Being able to stop time would be the ultimate power for a procrastinator like me! 🙂

  • RH January 23, 2013, 10:41 am

    The ability to heal others.

  • Emma January 23, 2013, 10:42 am

    i’d be able to make coffee appear. or wine.

  • Jen W. January 23, 2013, 10:48 am

    I’d love to have a “turbo boost” button so that I could actually accomplish everything on my daily “to-do” list. Wouldn’t that be heaven…….

  • Jessica January 23, 2013, 10:52 am

    I would be able to access internet with my brain, meaning I would have access to information any time I needed it!

    Running a Girl’s on the Run 5k (with my girls) soon and a Color Run 5K in March, would LOVE to have a new pair of awesome running socks!

  • Nancy January 23, 2013, 10:52 am

    I’ve had reoccurring dreams my entire life that I could fly. It was so easy! I’d just lift up my arms a little, and not flap (lol) but more float along… it’s the coolest thing ever and feels so realistic when it’s happening! I haven’t had a dream like that for a while, but that for sure would be my chosen super power.

  • Tracey January 23, 2013, 10:53 am

    I would love to be able to fly, so I could visits friends and family whenever I want! And skip rush hour. 🙂

  • Courtney January 23, 2013, 10:54 am

    I would love to be able to fly or teleport so I would never be late anywhere – or finish a race faster ha

  • maria January 23, 2013, 10:58 am

    To teleport! Nothing could be better than after a long day to simply imagine myself home and then, viola, to be there. Plus it would cut down on airfare and be green for the environment.

  • Beverly Aragon January 23, 2013, 11:00 am

    I would love to be like Samantha from Bewitched and just wiggle my nose and watch all my most hated chores do themselves!

  • monique breard January 23, 2013, 11:02 am

    I would love to have a conversation with my dogs..don’t you ever look at them and think what are they thinking??

  • Leslie January 23, 2013, 11:03 am

    I would love the power of illusion, to make inanimate objects talk, so I could hear their stories. It would also help with crime solving, because there wouldn’t be anymore he said/she said.

  • Maggie J January 23, 2013, 11:05 am

    I would totally choose to teleport! There was a -23 degree wind chill last night when I was walking to class, so it would be nice to avoid that again (today, ha!)

  • Beth January 23, 2013, 11:07 am

    I’d be faster so I can get more done in a day

  • katie January 23, 2013, 11:07 am

    I’ve always wanted the power of transporting! When I get tired and Im at someone’s house or just don’t want to move, I always wish I could just transport myself to where I need to be.

  • Padma January 23, 2013, 11:07 am

    Any powers that would allow me to avoid sitting in traffic for 2 hours. Teleportation seems like the best power!

  • roopa January 23, 2013, 11:21 am

    I would want to fly!

  • Julie January 23, 2013, 11:23 am

    Ha ha! I’ve actually thought about this before. I would be able to zap myself where I want to be. Lunch in Paris? Check! Back home to pick my daughter up from school. 😛

  • Kristin January 23, 2013, 11:27 am

    I would have the ability to transport myself. I love traveling but hate the process of getting there!

  • Dani January 23, 2013, 11:27 am

    I would definitely choose telepathy! 🙂

  • Christie M. January 23, 2013, 11:28 am

    I would FLY. while wearing awesome socks.

  • Ilene January 23, 2013, 11:28 am

    I would be the BEST at time management!

  • Tricia January 23, 2013, 11:29 am

    Gotta go with the popular teleporting. That way, I could teleport myself to the beach for a morning run, to my sister’s house after I get the kids down for some hang-out time, a fun vacation spot on the weekend.

  • Alicia January 23, 2013, 11:29 am

    I was just thinking about buying myself a real pair of running socks. I am a cheapo sock user too. This would be great!

    • Alicia January 23, 2013, 11:32 am

      Oops. I also meant to say as a kid I wished I could automatically be somewhere I could see. So if I could see the Statue of Liberty from the train I could instantly be there. I guess teleport.. but a little bit at a time.

  • Barbie January 23, 2013, 11:31 am

    My superpower would be the “Beam me up Scotty”. Think how much time we could save not commuting to work or traveling when we want to see family! We could just be there!!

  • Karen @ Runner Girl Eats January 23, 2013, 11:32 am

    I would loveeee to be able to freeze time. I have been on the hunt for some quality socks so these would be much appreciated!

  • Kimberly C January 23, 2013, 11:33 am

    to fly!

  • Emily January 23, 2013, 11:39 am

    Time travel! I’d love to spend an hour holding my boys as they were babies, an afternoon at the lake with my dear dog whom I miss terribly, seeing life during the time of dinosaurs and others parts of history!

  • mama January 23, 2013, 11:40 am

    Probably have wisdom! Then I would know everything and always make right decisions in every circumstance!!!

  • hillary January 23, 2013, 11:42 am

    I would love to be able to fly!!

  • Emily S January 23, 2013, 11:43 am

    First of all, I know someone who has stated, on numerous occasions, that he would select his superpower to be the ability to smite. Can you imagine that? “Squirrels! Be gone!” And then you’d have no more squirrels!

    But if I had to choose a superpower, I’d likely choose increased focus. You could get more done each day, narrow in on what you actually want to do with your life, and achieve goals. It would be pretty amazing.

  • Jules January 23, 2013, 11:44 am

    I would like to apparate! That’s better than teleporting because it’s Harry Potter related, haha.

  • Kathleen January 23, 2013, 11:48 am

    I would want the power to be invisible, like the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter. Sometimes I’d like to just go places without being seen! I could wear pajamas all the time. Haha!

  • Janelle January 23, 2013, 11:48 am

    I’d love the ability to understand what people were saying – no matter what language they are saying it in!

  • Laura C. January 23, 2013, 11:50 am

    My super power would be the ability to change my super power to fit whatever my needs or the situation called for at the time! Unless that’s cheating, then I would probably go with super speed or something.

  • Throuthehaze January 23, 2013, 11:51 am

    I would be able to teleport anywhere I want to go.

  • Molly@This Life Is Sparkling January 23, 2013, 11:54 am

    I’d love to read peoples minds. I’ve always wanted to be a “fly on the wall” just to see what people really thought of me. I’m sure it’d get annoying after a while, but it’d also be pretty neat 🙂

  • Sunny Purdin January 23, 2013, 11:56 am

    I would want the ability to be naked without anyone knowing. Is that a super-power?

  • Karen January 23, 2013, 11:58 am

    I’d love to be able to understand/speak any language as my superpower. Sooooo useful!

  • Leah V January 23, 2013, 12:01 pm

    I would choose teleportation! I hate spending a lot of the in the car unless it’s for a fun road trip. If I could just teleport to my destination, I’d be able to spend more time there and wouldn’t have to sit in traffic!

  • healthy ashley January 23, 2013, 12:04 pm

    You are even sexier post-baby. Didn’t know that was possible! Also, these photos make me want to steal Henry through the computer screen.

  • Ashlee January 23, 2013, 12:06 pm

    I never like to buy the ‘nice’ socks either, but love when I get them because they are soooo much better. If I could have a super power it would be having the ability to be invisible.

  • Jen January 23, 2013, 12:07 pm

    I would read minds!

  • Michelle January 23, 2013, 12:08 pm

    I wish I could FLY!!!!!!! I’d get to do so much more if I could do that!!! And it’d be so cool to just show up at places and just landing at the door 🙂

  • Margaret @ Have a Good Run January 23, 2013, 12:10 pm

    These are my MOST favorite sock!!!

    My super power would be to teleport wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 12:12 pm

    I feel kinda lame for not realizing there are running socks. Those look amazing. Gotta love anything neon colored.

    Teleporting, for sure. So many places and people I could visit. No worrying about packing and flying or driving. Just blink and I’d be where I want to go.

  • Avery January 23, 2013, 12:13 pm

    I would love to be able to heal disease and sickness, and travel the world healing people. Or if I was going to choose one for myself I’d love the ability to be intensely focused! I have the attention span of a squirrel..

  • Jayhawk Jen January 23, 2013, 12:13 pm

    I’m going to go with teleporting too… that way I could visit my girls halfway across the country at will! 🙂

  • Charyl January 23, 2013, 12:15 pm

    My superpower would be the ability to heal people just by touching them. Physical and emotional pain-POOF! That being said, I hope these socks take away my pain as I am trying to become a runner. Thanks.

  • Jessica January 23, 2013, 12:16 pm

    My super power would be able to speed read and retain and comprehend everything I read!! Think of everything we could learn if we could have that superpower!! 🙂

  • Cara January 23, 2013, 12:19 pm

    I would like to be super fast. I could accomplish a lot or just travel fast!

  • Sharisse January 23, 2013, 12:19 pm

    I would want the superpower to teleport anywhere I wanted at anytime!

  • Tracey January 23, 2013, 12:19 pm

    I wouldn’t need sleep! As a working mom of a 6 month old, I feel like there is never enough time in the day to get things done. So I wish I didn’t need sleep, so I could spend my son’s waking hours with him, and then use the hours after he goes to bed to get everything else done (cleaning, laundry, chores, working out, reading, bubble baths…. everything!). Right now I’m so tired that I crash pretty soon after he does! Then, I could just hit a “refresh” button and be wide awake and fresh the next morning!!!!!

  • erin m. January 23, 2013, 12:20 pm

    I would love to be ablt to teleport myself.

  • Kari January 23, 2013, 12:20 pm

    Teleport for sure. As long as I wouldn’t get spliced like in Harry Potter.

  • Laura January 23, 2013, 12:22 pm

    I would love to be able to speak/write/read every language in the world!

  • Leslie M. January 23, 2013, 12:23 pm

    These are the best socks, hope I win! I think I would want to go back in time for my superpower. I am pretty sure I would have loved the 1960s!

  • Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife January 23, 2013, 12:25 pm

    Teleport FTW!

  • Erin January 23, 2013, 12:25 pm

    I would love to be able to fly or teleport. No more traffic for me!

  • anna January 23, 2013, 12:29 pm

    I would love to be invisible! BTW my dad swears by these socks and I have yet to try them, but would love to!

  • Margo January 23, 2013, 12:30 pm

    Teleportation for sure. It would save me so much travel time and money and I could be anywhere I want whenever I wanted to!

  • Rachel January 23, 2013, 12:32 pm

    My super power would be teleportation! I hate driving!

    Also, I received a pair of those pink socks for x-mas and they are amazing! So amazing that I bought myself another blue pair! But I can always use more!

  • Brandi January 23, 2013, 12:34 pm

    I would want to read minds

  • Michelle January 23, 2013, 12:36 pm

    I’m torn between shape shifting, freezing time, and teleporting.

  • Amy Q January 23, 2013, 12:37 pm

    Definitely beaming myself from one location to the other. Sometimes, the journey is part of the experience, but sometimes, I’d rather just be at the destination!

  • Becca January 23, 2013, 12:38 pm

    I want to have the ability to become invisible. I’m a snoop!

  • Kate @KateMovingForward January 23, 2013, 12:39 pm

    I think I would choose the superpower of awesome learning–like I could watch anyone do a anything and just learn it like that and be as awesome as they are! (A girl on Heroes had this superpower and I thought it was the BEST one!)

  • Stephanie January 23, 2013, 12:39 pm

    I need all the help I can get during the long runs! These would def help out.
    My super power would be also to teleport, hate traffic and commuting in the Boston area!!!
    Love the pics today!

  • Sorayya January 23, 2013, 12:44 pm

    I would love to time travel without leaving a mark on the past. So I guess that would be invisible time traveling 🙂

  • Lisa January 23, 2013, 12:46 pm

    Flying! Definitely flying. It would be so epic!!

  • Jessica @ Health Over Heels January 23, 2013, 12:48 pm

    I would be able to fly, for sure!!

  • Megan January 23, 2013, 12:49 pm

    If I had a superpower it would be time travel or the ability to teleport. I am always late, and if I could just adjust time or get somewhere super quickly, it would really help me out.

  • Jessica G January 23, 2013, 12:51 pm

    Do I have to choose one? First, I’d love to be able to teleport. Second, I’d love to be able to shape metal like Magneto in X-Men without the whole being evil thing. Ha! : )

  • Kristin January 23, 2013, 12:52 pm

    I’ve actually thought about this before — I’d love to be able to either stop time or clone myself. I could stop time for work and chores, and still have the rest of the day to myself. Or, I could send my clone to work and to run errands and do other boring stuff, but the real me would be sleeping in and doing fun stuff. I never have enough hours in the day to do everything I want!

  • Allison January 23, 2013, 12:55 pm

    Definitely flying.

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 12:55 pm

    My superpower would be to teleport!

  • Katie January 23, 2013, 1:01 pm

    I want the superpower to eat every sugary calorie in the world and not gain a single pound.

  • Sarah D. January 23, 2013, 1:02 pm

    I definitely would want to be able to teleport! As long as I could bring a friend. 😉

  • Sarah January 23, 2013, 1:03 pm

    I would love to be able to turn invisible and back! Imagine all the amazing places I could travel if I didn’t have to pay for a spot on a plane 🙂

  • Peggi January 23, 2013, 1:07 pm

    My power would be to be able to say I want to go to a particular place and be there….sort of a “beam me up scotty” kind of thing. I am always saying I wish I could just press a button at work and be home, no driving or stress, etc. How fun would that be?
    I love these socks – I have one pair and just recommended them to my mom as well. They are wonderful and I would love to win another pair – I could definitely use them!! Love you blog!

  • Suzanne C. January 23, 2013, 1:08 pm

    I would like to time travel!

  • Alex @ Raw Recovery January 23, 2013, 1:08 pm

    A superpower, hmm…to not be a muggle 🙂

  • Amanda K. January 23, 2013, 1:08 pm

    i’d love to be invisible. or to maybe have some way to be in two places at once — playing with my son AND napping 🙂

    and i don’t think your race photo is that bad — i’ve seen (and had!) WAY worse. at least you look hardcore!!

  • dani January 23, 2013, 1:09 pm

    i would love to have super-human strength! how sweet would it be to be able to lift anything and to look ripped all of the time? yes please!

  • Debbie January 23, 2013, 1:20 pm

    I always say if I had one SuperPower it would be the ability to click my heels (like Dorothy) and get from one place to the next …I think of this a lot while sitting in traffic 🙂
    Ha! I just realized the two people before me said the same thing!

  • Emily J January 23, 2013, 1:27 pm

    The ability to fly!

  • Stephanie January 23, 2013, 1:29 pm

    Time travel! I would go back in time and ask some well know figures (like Marie Antoinette and Henry the 8th) what they were thinking!

  • Natalie Kirbo January 23, 2013, 1:32 pm

    I would have the superpower to slow down time. Whether that be to enjoy more time with loved ones or beautiful moments, to get more done in a day, or to procrastinate… 😉

    I would LOVE a real pair of socks! I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’m still wearing sock from high school to work out/run in… I imagine that these would be quite the upgrade! Love your blog so much. I really enjoy how genuine you are, and your half marathon so soon after Henry is so inspiring! Thanks for putting yourself out there for us 🙂

  • Dana January 23, 2013, 1:33 pm

    Years ago I loved the show Charmed, and have always thought it would be great to be able to temporarily freeze time like Piper. Sometimes a few extra seconds to compose myself, out take a deep breath, or try to figure something out would be so helpful.

  • Laura J January 23, 2013, 1:34 pm

    I’d love to blink & have the house chores done. It’d be so much faster when putting away Christmas, doing dishes, laundry…convenient!

  • kristen @ livinlifeinlouie January 23, 2013, 1:37 pm

    My super power would be to teleport!

  • Sarah January 23, 2013, 1:38 pm

    I would want mind reading powers so I could confirm my theories about people.

  • Ann January 23, 2013, 1:45 pm

    I’d want a superpower that could heal children. Even more now that I have a baby of my own, my heart breaks when I hear of anyone’s child battling health problems.

  • laura leane January 23, 2013, 1:46 pm

    unlimited, super fast flight, no question.

  • Sarah W. January 23, 2013, 1:49 pm

    I’m interested in doing so many things and being with so many people, I would be able to be in two (or more) places at once by double or tripling myself. The respective “me’s” would have a synched brain and be the same person with a cumulative memory. So I’d be able to help friend move, while cooking dinner, etc.

  • Danna January 23, 2013, 1:50 pm

    Walk on water without a doubt. Could do imagine walking on a Glacial Lake in the mountains?

  • Sonia the Mexigarian January 23, 2013, 1:50 pm

    LOVE Thorlo socks!! Completely worth the expo price. 🙂

    Hmmm. Definitely shapeshift. With that power I can turn into a bird and fly or a dolphin and swim or a wolf and run through the Sierras. That’d be fun.

  • Blakely January 23, 2013, 1:54 pm

    Mine would be to fly. I’m not sure exactly how useful that would be, but everytime I have a dream about flying, it’s amazing.

  • Brynne January 23, 2013, 1:58 pm

    I would have the power to make everyone happy. Being in a sad world stinks!

  • Alison January 23, 2013, 2:01 pm

    Definitely teleporting. I think about that every time I am in traffic!

  • Jolene (Homespun Heritage) January 23, 2013, 2:07 pm

    I only buy running socks now….strange, I know, but even the cheapo running socks ar more comfi than any plastic bag socks! Also, a compression sock fan!

  • Lea January 23, 2013, 2:11 pm

    my aching feet yearn for these socks. I too would balk at $12 socks, unless they were as good as you say. I swear having kids wrecks your feet, as if the more apparent damage they do to your body wasn’t enough!

  • megan January 23, 2013, 2:28 pm

    Super-woman strength and energy – and the ability to do it all without sleeping a wink, ha! (Mother of a 10 month old here, can you tell??) 🙂

  • Karen Yott January 23, 2013, 2:29 pm

    I would love to be able to fly – to soar above everything and see what lies below!
    Thanks!

  • rachel January 23, 2013, 2:32 pm

    hmmm I would want to be able to jump forward or backward in time!!

  • Jessica R @ fromthekitchentotheroad January 23, 2013, 2:37 pm

    If I had superpowers I would want to fly. I am torn between that and being able to zap myself anywhere I wanted. Flying sounds pretty fun so I’ll stick with that one.

  • Erica January 23, 2013, 2:38 pm

    Sweet! Superpower, huh? I would want to fly! 🙂

  • Lauren @ The Unlikely Runners January 23, 2013, 2:42 pm

    My superpower would be to be able to halt time!

  • Samantha January 23, 2013, 2:57 pm

    I would have the ability to transport myself anywhere in less than a minute! Seriously,when you have to travel all day long it can become such a pain in the neck.

  • Debbie January 23, 2013, 3:15 pm

    Definitely the ability to be invisible. Or the ability to read minds, but also the ability to turn it off when I didn’t want to use it.

  • Debbie January 23, 2013, 3:15 pm

    Teleport! I live in DC area and my family lives on the West Coast. Plus, lunch in Paris and dinner in the Bahamas sounds like a perfect day to me!

  • Sami January 23, 2013, 3:17 pm

    If I could have one super power it’d totally be teleporting. Not only would I save money on gas, but I’d avoid crazy drivers and be able to travel on a whim! 🙂

  • Jenny January 23, 2013, 3:19 pm

    I’d love to fly. We’ve been getting lots of lake effect snow up here where I live in Michigan and it would be nice to be able to fly, so that it wouldn’t take me over an hour to get to work! Plus, my parents & siblings live a 7-hr drive away – I’d love to fly over to see them more!

  • Katie B January 23, 2013, 3:19 pm

    My super power would be super speed. Heck, I’ll even take 7 minute miles.

  • Lauren Bailey January 23, 2013, 3:20 pm

    I would like to be able to read minds but only if I could turn my super power on and off. If this is not an option I would like be able to fly.

  • Sarah January 23, 2013, 3:26 pm

    Teleportation, or like in Harry Potter!

  • Nichole January 23, 2013, 3:29 pm

    I would love to be able to stop the clock to be able to fit more in a day!

  • Katrina January 23, 2013, 3:32 pm

    My superpower would be to be able to freeze time (like Evie from the tv show Out of This World). Get laundry and cooking done while not missing any time with my little girl?? Yes Please!

  • kristin s. January 23, 2013, 3:47 pm

    I would be able to fly!!!

  • Holly B January 23, 2013, 3:56 pm

    I want to say flying, but really I think invisibility would get me everything I ever desired. haha!

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 4:01 pm

    I would be able to teleport. I feel like I’m running around everywhere and everything is so far apart. I would love to snap my fingers and be there!

  • Kelly January 23, 2013, 4:12 pm

    I would prob. choose teleportation. I would travel all around the world 🙂

  • Brenda from TotallyBrenda January 23, 2013, 4:13 pm

    I would love to teleport and if that was not an option i would love to cross my arms, close my eyes, shake my head and my house would be cleaned. lol. I can dream right?

  • Joey January 23, 2013, 4:17 pm

    I would either want to read minds or teleport. Both would be awesome!

  • Erika January 23, 2013, 4:18 pm

    The power to go back in time. I wouldn’t want to go back years or even days really, but at the end of the day when you feel like something just didn’t go right… Do Over!

  • KarenK January 23, 2013, 4:24 pm

    To be invisible – like Violet in The Incredibles.

  • Elizabeth V January 23, 2013, 4:31 pm

    I would love to FLY!!

  • Yin January 23, 2013, 4:44 pm

    To be able to teleport! Saves time and money on fares 😉

  • AB January 23, 2013, 4:58 pm

    I would love to be able to time travel!

  • Erin @ Living Made Healthy January 23, 2013, 5:04 pm

    I’d want to be able to get stuff done super speedy! Move like flash!

  • Anne January 23, 2013, 5:12 pm

    This is going to sound crazy, but I want the ability to fall asleep immediately and sleep straight through the night…insomnia is terrible! Does that count as a superpower?

  • Cellabella January 23, 2013, 5:15 pm

    To be able to fly, and fly fast 🙂

  • Julia January 23, 2013, 5:18 pm

    Teleport for sure! I’d be able to visit my family and friends all over the country whenever I want!

  • Amanda R January 23, 2013, 5:21 pm

    I want a blink of the eye travel super power. One blink and you are anywhere in the world!

  • rachel January 23, 2013, 5:23 pm

    To fly!!!!!!!

  • Eva January 23, 2013, 5:26 pm

    definitely to fly — i hate traffic!

  • Amy January 23, 2013, 5:26 pm

    I wish I could read peoples minds!!

  • Jessica January 23, 2013, 5:41 pm

    My super power would be to relax and not feel guilty about it! 🙂

  • Kim January 23, 2013, 5:47 pm

    This is such a fun question! I would be able to be invisible.. oh what fun you could have.

  • Amanda January 23, 2013, 5:48 pm

    Telportation, hands down. I hate long car trips, and I reeeaaalllyyy hate driving them!

  • Carolyn C. January 23, 2013, 5:52 pm

    Today, it would be invisibility (or an invisibility cloak?), but it’s been one of THOSE days! Tomorrow, it would probably be super strength because that just seems super cool. I would definitely not want to read minds because it would probably just freak me out to the nth degree!

  • CP January 23, 2013, 5:55 pm

    Teleportation! No more waiting at the bus stop!

  • Lori Z January 23, 2013, 6:01 pm

    If only I could snap my fingers and be anywhere I wanted to be. It would make seeing far away family and friends so much easier…

  • Lauren January 23, 2013, 6:19 pm

    I would be able to fly so I would never have to pay for gas or sit in traffic! 🙂

  • Missy January 23, 2013, 6:20 pm

    I want to be able to fly!

  • Katie January 23, 2013, 6:29 pm

    I would totally have the superpower of teleportation. Then I would teleport my way out of FREEZING Iowa and head down south where the sun shines and people where shorts and bikinis every day.

  • MaryBeth January 23, 2013, 6:36 pm

    Teleport! Quick and cheap travel! There are so many places I’d like to visit!

  • Sharon January 23, 2013, 6:37 pm

    If I could have one superpower it would be to be able to control the weather. I’d make it a cool 50 degrees every day I went out for a run!

  • Crystal January 23, 2013, 6:51 pm

    I’m a big fan of Thorlo socks too. Never any blisters even after long runs in the heat.

    Can my super power be the ability to have more than one super power?

  • Pam January 23, 2013, 6:56 pm

    I would like the ability to relieve pain.

  • kayleigh January 23, 2013, 7:03 pm

    I want some thorlo’s so badly! I would like to be able to fly or have the ability to teleport myself. So many places to go!

  • Tracy S January 23, 2013, 7:04 pm

    To make something appear with the snap of a finger! Say a meal, or clean laundry?

  • jen January 23, 2013, 7:07 pm

    i’d love to have the superpower to transport myself in the blink of an eye! i’m always running a few minutes late!

  • Jen January 23, 2013, 7:08 pm

    The first thing that I thought of for a superpower was teleportation. Then I really thought about it, and I definitely would want the power of time travel.

  • Keri January 23, 2013, 7:09 pm

    My superpower would be to be invisible at will!

  • Kerri January 23, 2013, 7:09 pm

    I would teleport. Less time traveling!

  • Carrie C. in VA January 23, 2013, 7:16 pm

    The superpower to do make my kids nap longer! LOL!

  • Alexandra January 23, 2013, 7:23 pm

    Be able to read people’s minds!

  • Holly January 23, 2013, 7:28 pm

    I’d want to be able to stop, rewind, or fast foward time!

  • Amy January 23, 2013, 7:31 pm

    I would be able to wiggle my nose and make things happen like bewitched 🙂

  • Kelly January 23, 2013, 7:32 pm

    Awesome!

    I would DEFINITELY want to be invisible! I’m nosey (or nebby as we say in Pittsburgh 🙂

  • Emily January 23, 2013, 7:32 pm

    Hi Caitlin! I’m an old reader but a new commenter. I always have problems finding socks I like-these sound great! If I had a superpower I wouldn’t need to sleep-that would give me so much more time!

  • Elaine C January 23, 2013, 7:41 pm

    Teleportation would be nice – I want to travel more!

  • Kate January 23, 2013, 7:44 pm

    My super power would definitely be flight. I hate flying in planes, but love the idea of being up above the clouds, flying around. I assume my super power guarantees no crashes right??

  • Kevin January 23, 2013, 7:57 pm

    Feet that don’t need socks

  • Michelle Q January 23, 2013, 8:14 pm

    If I had superhero powers I would make everyday a weekend filled with sunshine and warm weather!

  • Jess S. @ Floptimism January 23, 2013, 8:34 pm

    I’d want to be able to slow time down so that when life gets crazy I could just turn on my superpower and unplug/zone out/take a step back and regroup.

  • Melissa January 23, 2013, 8:37 pm

    I would want the super human power to be a fly on the wall, or I guess invisible. Think about all the information you’d acquire.

  • Anna January 23, 2013, 8:44 pm

    I’d like to be able to teleport… I drive 45 minutes to work every day so it would save me a lot of gas!!

  • Kerry January 23, 2013, 8:49 pm

    If I had a superpower it would be t0 be able to communicate fluently in any language whenever I need or want to. I would love to visit any country or meet anyone and be able to speak in their native language!

  • Debby January 23, 2013, 8:55 pm

    To be invisible!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  • Jessica January 23, 2013, 9:03 pm

    Ha! In the spirit of your next post, I’d LOVE the super power of being able to cut onions without crying! LOL 😉

  • Brooke January 23, 2013, 9:49 pm

    To see into the future, to see if my current job is worth it.

  • Emily January 23, 2013, 9:57 pm

    Woah, what a tough decision… I have to say the power to stop time. It would be nice to have some “me time” to fit in a run or finish up my homework without sacrificing sleep! (:

  • Lisa January 23, 2013, 10:00 pm

    Before I comment on the contest, I have to say, this is my first comment on your blog ever. I’ve been reading it for nearly a year starting from the beginning (sorry if that’s weird) but it has been great seeing how you have grown as a person. I love your thoughts on life and what a great health advocate you are. I would love to see one of your presentations at some time and I love your humor. I have learned a ton from your blog both health-wise and about myself. Since I began reading your blog (and dailygarnish) in March last year, I have lost 20 pounds, ran my first 5k, and made it through my first semester of grad school. I am pursuing a MS in Nutrition to be a RD and after reading about all your efforts to help others, I hope I can do the same. Thanks for being yourself and writing such a great blog. Also, for being a good example as a friend, wife, and mother (Henry is adorable)!

    -If I could have any superpower, it would be to have unlimited energy, so I could accomplish all my goals and help others.

  • Carolyn January 23, 2013, 10:06 pm

    I would be able to read minds. By choice and with control, though – not like a constant barrage of thunderous mind-talk all the time (a la What Women Want kind of thing). More of a controlled insight into specific minds, at will.

  • Molly January 23, 2013, 10:14 pm

    Ooh, I’ve been thinking about investing in some nice running socks for awhile and would LOVE to try these out! I think I’d go with a classic – the ability to fly.

  • Marla January 23, 2013, 10:21 pm

    My super power would be invisibility. I could get into a lot of trouble. 🙂

  • Leah January 23, 2013, 10:30 pm

    I’d love to have the power of invisibility!

  • Sarah L January 23, 2013, 10:31 pm

    I’d like to have stretchy arms. Those would be really useful when carrying or chasing after my baby.

  • Jennifer January 23, 2013, 10:34 pm

    I love thorlo socks!!!!!
    I want to be a super mom to be my power

  • Katie January 23, 2013, 10:43 pm

    Hands down, it would be that I could teleport. I live about 45 minutes away from where I work, and work nights. Most nights, I don’t mind the drive since it’s my decompression time and I just jam out to tunes and contemplate life. HOWEVER, sometimes I wish I could blink my eyes like “I Dream of Jeanie” and be home and get down with my pj’s ASAP.

  • Tashia January 23, 2013, 10:54 pm

    I would love to have super memory. To be able to recall anything I’ve experienced, read, saw, heard, even tasted. That would be pretty awesome….

  • Mai January 23, 2013, 10:57 pm

    invisibility!

  • Emma Wilmot January 23, 2013, 11:05 pm

    I would love to be able to always think the best of people, no matter the circumstances – yes, I consider this a super-power! Great job on the half marathon!

  • Emily January 23, 2013, 11:11 pm

    Cute! I would want teleportation, I always feel like I’m wasting time driving places

  • Jessica T January 23, 2013, 11:19 pm

    I would love to be able to teleport! My family is in Europe so it would be nice to see them more often and to teleport myself to the gym when I’m feeling extra lazy.

  • Katie January 23, 2013, 11:19 pm

    i just really really really want to fly! i think i would love the freedom of it. oh and it would be nice to fly south for the winter (i’m from michigan and we are getting dumped on right now, but i did manage a good three miler in the freezing snow and wind today!)

  • Wendy January 23, 2013, 11:33 pm

    I’d love to be able to tell if there is physically something wrong without having to wait for doctors appointments. Too many of those lately…

  • Kristy January 23, 2013, 11:53 pm

    Hmm.. To be invisible or to teleport? Too hard to decide!

  • Rachel January 24, 2013, 12:11 am

    I would love to be able to fly, or to be invisible.

  • Alicia January 24, 2013, 12:18 am

    I would love to be able to read peoples minds! Although it could get very overwhelming lol

  • Carly January 24, 2013, 12:42 am

    I would love to be able to blink my eyes and teleport anywhere in the world!

  • Lindsey January 24, 2013, 3:39 am

    I would love the power to teleport back to the past!

  • Katie January 24, 2013, 5:16 am

    Flying! I always have weird dreams I can fly.

  • Rachael January 24, 2013, 7:56 am

    Flying! I had a recurring dream as a child that I flew instead of walked!

  • Allison January 24, 2013, 9:11 am

    I would totally choose the power of teleportation! How cool to just snap your fingers and you are in another location of your choice! Wanna go to Paris for dinner? Ok!
    And lets not mention how quickly errands and tedious tasks would be over with! 🙂

  • Stacie January 24, 2013, 9:38 am

    The ability to make animals talk…on command….when we wonder what they could possibly be thinking. 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Hetha77 January 24, 2013, 9:44 am

    I consider lactating a superpower, ’cause come on, isn’t that pretty amazing??
    But since I am no longer lacating, and I get to make up anything at all…I would really love to be able to jump like I was on the moon. I had a dream once that I could do that, and it was really fun and empowering!

  • Jess (Will Run for Cheeseburgers) January 24, 2013, 9:45 am

    I would love the ability to lift any amount of weight. my bebe is getting quite big and is really heavy when being carried.

  • Hetha77 January 24, 2013, 9:49 am

    Oh and,
    your race picture is great! I think you look a lot like Natalie Portman in it.

  • Tracy January 24, 2013, 10:04 am

    I would love to bet able to be in more than one place at one time!

  • Maggie January 24, 2013, 10:15 am

    I think you look like you’re working hard!

    I think I’d like to be able to read minds, but I also think that would probably drive me crazy and ultimately not be good!

  • Katie January 24, 2013, 10:31 am

    I absolutely love those socks! I have 5 pairs and have been rotating them out over the last year so they will last a while, at least I hope. Someone else deserves the give away pair, but to answer your question I would like to read minds or to be able to heal people with just a touch.

  • Irina @ Chocolatea Time January 24, 2013, 10:41 am

    If I had any superpower it would be to read minds, but only when I want to. It would probably be a blessing and a curse but I can’t deny that it would be amazing!

  • Annie January 24, 2013, 10:49 am

    It`s incredible what difference a good pair of socks does. I personally can`t keep running socks just for running, they’re good to replace slippers when the floor is cold 😉 Like the minus 40 we’ve had recently.

    I always hesitate between shapeshifting, telekinesis or teleportation. I think teleportation, even if not original, would do it for me. Never be late at work again because of traffic.

  • Stevie January 24, 2013, 10:56 am

    I have always wanted to be able to climb trees and swing from branches like a monkey!

  • Victoria January 24, 2013, 11:46 am

    My super power would be able to fly at turbo speed! I’m English and all my family lives over there! It would be so amazing to just be able to fly over there anytime to see my parents 😃

  • elizabeth January 24, 2013, 11:52 am

    I am not commenting to be part of your giveaway – I think it’s great you’re educating people on the benefits or increased comfort of wearing an athletic/synthetic/wool sock. 🙂 I can’t believe these are your first pair! In the south you have both Feetures and Wright Sock HQ’s nearby. I would think they would be everywhere! And I love the hot pink and the baby feet. Also, I want to be able to fly. Have a great weekend!!

  • Lara January 24, 2013, 12:22 pm

    Those socks look super comfy! I hate shelling out so much money for running socks but find it’s worth it. Superpowers – It would be a toss up between flying and reading minds.

  • Michelle C January 24, 2013, 12:53 pm

    My superpower would be to speak any language on command!! I want to be able to speak/listen/understand every one…. from everywhere 🙂

  • Bobbie January 24, 2013, 1:01 pm

    Seems kind of silly and not really like a super power at all but I would want my power to be optimism. I want to be optimistic even on the worst of days.

  • Liz January 24, 2013, 1:31 pm

    If I had any superpower, it would be to be able to just close my eyes and transport myself somewhere. Think about it. No more having to drive places? Leaving early to deal with traffic? Getting lost. Nope. Just transport myself there.

  • Katrina January 24, 2013, 1:40 pm

    I would have the ability to change into someone famous and then back to my “normal” self. I could use it when I was out at a restaurant or out shopping to hopefully get myself some VIP treatment!

  • Sarah S. January 24, 2013, 1:58 pm

    I’d like to be able to read my dog’s mind. It’s not much of a super power but I think it’d be hilarious.

    I’ve found those Thorlo socks at Marshalls/TJ Maxx for around $6. Just something to keep an eye out for.

  • TiffanyS January 24, 2013, 2:16 pm

    I would want to be able to time hop or transport myself by just thinking about it. I spend so much time in the car. It would free up so much time to do things like clean or read books instead of commuting!

  • Ashley @ The North Carolina Cowgirl January 24, 2013, 2:52 pm

    Humm..if I had super powers I would want them to be…I think I would want to be just like superwoman and be super strong and fly. I hate driving places so being able to fly and get there faster would be awesome!

  • Danielle January 24, 2013, 5:26 pm

    My super power would be to have the ability to heal others. Wether it be heal them from sickness, sadness, or anything else that can over shadow your life. That would be incredible!

  • Bonnie January 24, 2013, 6:42 pm

    Teleportation so I don’t have to drive an hour to work!!

  • Eileen January 24, 2013, 7:10 pm

    Remember that show where the girl stopped time but could unfreeze people when she touched them- I dream about having that power:)

  • Kristen January 24, 2013, 7:40 pm

    If I were a superhero I would want to move at the speed of sound.

  • Tracy January 24, 2013, 7:56 pm

    I would love to be able to go back and forth in time. Not to the future (too scary), just back to special times I want to remember and then back to current day.

    I freaking LOVE those Thorlo socks. Worth every penny. I’d really really love to win!!!

  • Lindsay C. January 24, 2013, 8:06 pm

    My superpower would be teleporting. I could cut travel time out of my day, get rid of the car that I hardly ever use, and be able to travel around the country and world a lot more!

  • Anna P January 24, 2013, 9:24 pm

    I would be able to hear my dog’s thoughts!

  • Lissa January 25, 2013, 7:34 am

    That’s a hard one! I’d say the ability to apparate!

  • Helen January 26, 2013, 8:51 pm

    I’d want to be able to stop time. There are too many things I want to do and not enough time to do them.

  • Tracy January 29, 2013, 2:12 pm

    Hi Caitlin! This is Tracy at Thorlo socks. I just came across your blog and review of Experia socks – this is awesome! It’s kind of funny that you had to go all the way to Florida to find Experia when they are made right in your backyard in Statesville! I would love to participate in a giveaway on your blog. Shoot me an e-mail and let’s chat!

  • Shemp DeYoung (@shempgames) February 8, 2013, 8:49 am

    I would like to read minds. It would be nice to know what other people are really up to.

  • Amy D February 22, 2013, 5:56 pm

    This might be a lame super power, but I want to be able to talk to animals!!!
