I have some exciting news to share with you guys today. If you ever look at my sidebars you might have noticed a logo for Swiftwick pop up on the left hand side over the holidays. Swiftwick is an athletic performance sock company that I had the pleasure of meeting at Runners World. They talked of their socks durability and comfort and asked if I would like to try them out. After I went home that weekend and got back to gym and outdoor running I used Swiftwick socks every time. Pure and simple, they’re amazing socks. They let my feet breathe, hold them snug in my shoe, and most importantly of all, I don’t feel them when I run.
I was so in love with Swiftwick socks we kept in touch as months and time passed. I raved about them to friends and Josh started to really wish he had a pair for our couples run when I would wax poetic about how amazing the socks were and how I couldn’t believe I used to work out in non-athletic socks. There is such a huge difference.
Swiftwick recently asked me if I would like to become an Ambassador for them. Without hesitation I said yes, I truly love the product and the company. What me being an Ambassador means is that I’ve been becoming familiar with all their awesome products so that if you ever have any questions, I can hopefully help you out. When they get new products I’ll share them, and when they run contests there’s free goodies for you guys!
You may have noticed I’ve been a little silent on the running front lately. I’ve been dealing with some health things that have kept me from breaking a sweat and working out like I used to. But with the New Year I am ready to get back to running and strength training in a big way!
Swiftwick was so kind to not only hook me up with socks, but my parents and Josh. Josh and I love to run together and I’m so excited he’ll get to experience the amazingness that is their running socks. My Dad is probably the most active guy his age I know. He’s always walking places, going on hikes, going to play basketball, doing pushups, going skiing, etc. etc. He’s a great role model to me to stay active as I get older. I know he’ll put his socks to good use.
Diane loves the outdoors and hiking too. She also goes on long power walks a lot and has recently started running! I’m so proud of her. The biggest message I want to spread on my blog about running is that if I can do it, anyone can. I’m not fast and I can’t run super long distances, but I love to run. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other, your body takes care of the rest. 🙂
Besides making super awesome socks, Swiftwick has also been focusing on improving their global footprint. They just launched their Sustain line of socks that are made from recycled material. I’m pretty excited about it, and Swiftwick is too! To celebrate the launch they’re letting me give away 30 pairs!
Entering is easy, simply leave me a comment telling me what you would do with a pair of Swiftwick socks. What sport inspires you?
For an extra entry tweet out, “Need running socks? @girlgoneveggie is giving away 30 pairs of @swiftwick athletic socks! https://herheartlandsoul.com/i-feel-like-a-swiftwick-santa-claus/ #giveaway” Simply leave an extra comment saying that you did!
The contest is open until next Thursday, January 17th at 11:59pm.
I’ve never run in Swiftwick, but I hear great things about them. I’m a runner, so always looking for good, cushy socks to run in! 🙂
I’ve never tried these socks, but I need to! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I’ve never tried athletic socks before and would be interested to see the difference. I’m not much of a runner, more of a walker, but would like to try to start running. Would love to give the socks a try!
i need these so bad for my outdoor runs on sunday mornings (“sundayrunday”)! i’ve been wearing cotton and when i start to perspire my feet start to get cold because the fabric stays wet, boo.
thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I would run in my socks!! I LOVE Swiftwick, but I need more!!! 🙂
I also tweeted!
I have been looking for a new running sock! I tried running in Under Armour’s but they are so thin that I ran holes in them within a week. I would love to take these socks on nice long runs as I venture to complete my first marathon in 2013.
Would love to try these out. We are playing more racquetball this winter to stay in shape during winter. These socks would seem to fit the bill.
if i won a pair of swiftwick socks, i’d totally promise to throw out one of my old pair, which may or may not have holes in them from running 😉
xo.
thanks for the giveaway!
I would wear the socks to do my next half marathon, a team tri in march and training to start doing duo. Need great socks for all. Which I do not have.
Sent out the tweet also
I would be the most comfy new mom in the maternity ward if I was able to wear Swiftwick socks. 🙂
I’ve never tried them but am always interested in new socks for working out! I am always inspired watching an Ironman competition! Especially when the World Championship is on TV! ahhhh tears.
I’m a runner, and am always, ALWAYS in need of socks!
I tweeted! 🙂
Run 13 races this year!
I would run in my socks!
I’m about to start training for my 3rd half marathon, and these would be great!
I already feel good when running, but running in a brand that also considers the environment? I’d feel like a million bucks!
I also just tweeted about the giveaway!
I am training for my 3rd half and want to run 13 races in 2013. These would come in very handy 🙂

I have just started running and have heard a lot about “running socks”. Thought socks where just socks, I was wrong. I would run in a pair of Swiftwick socks for sure.
I would love to run and ride my bike in them! New socks are so cozy especially great during this time of year. Watching soccer and hockey always get me so pumped to work out!
That’s awesome! I would use them for walking/jogging!
I just tweeted (@LeafynotBeefy) 🙂
I would use mine a lot. I am trying to run at least 5 times a day and I am slowly trying to purchase more active gear and winning these socks would help me out. I have purchase a pair of compression socks from swiftkick with some Christmas $ I got and I love them. Slowly but surely I would like to get more in my collection for sure.
I would run! it seems like I go through a lot of running socks. I’d love some good ones that last awhile.
Running and spinning!!!

I don’t have a pair of Swiftwicks yet but I hear great things! My socks would get quite the workout – I’m training for my first 50k, so a good pair of socks is a MUST. I would love to cross the finish line in a new pair of Swiftwick socks!
I tweeted the contest: https://twitter.com/tlsylvan
I am setting a goal to walk/run to and from work 3 days a week to save on gas and get in better shape. I would use the Swiftwicks almost everyday.

I would love to run in these!!! I usually run about 15miles a week and I’ve never tried any running socks but they look great.
Oooh….I love new socks! Especially good running ones! Somehow all of my favorites get spirited out of my drawers by my two youngest children (who aren’t so young anymore) who also have a thing for good socks! So if I won, I would run in them…and probably snowshoe too.

I just tweeted about it.
I would wear these socks on my daily morning run! I have only one pair of really good running socks, so I only get to wear them once a week. The difference is truly amazing.

I’d love use those socks for running! Or even for running around outside playing basketball or football.
I always told my boyfriend I’d bring over my running shoes and we’d have a race (I like to tease him that I’d win).. maybe new socks would give me the edge 😉
I would RUN a lot with Swiftwick socks!!
I would most definitely use these for hiking and running. my boyfriend got me into running this past september and I just ran in my first 5k this december!! I’m still just beginning to get into the sport and havent ever used special running socks so it would be fun to test these out!! 🙂
I tweeeted as well!
I would love to try the SwiftWick socks for kickboxing and power walking. Kickboxing classes is one of the few types of exercise that I get excited about and look forward too!
I’d wear them when I go mountain biking or when I run and don’t wear my Vibrams! i’ve never tried them before but with your rave reviews I’m on board!
I would definitely go for a run in these socks! i am desperate for new running socks!

I would wear them running! I do road races every month!
I KNOW I would wear them running a lot! Also their could be kickboxing and long walks in their future. 😀
I am finally starting to run again post-injury; therefore I would LOVE a long pair for running! I didn’t realize what a difference compression socks can make until recently. Also, for deadlifting AND box jumps: THESE WOULD SAVE MY LIFE. I’ve never looked into this brand; i’m intrigued. 🙂
I play basketball. Have since I was old enough to hold a ball. One thing that goes overlooked is the wear and tear on your feet from the constant cutting and change of direction you deal with. I have yet to wear a pair of socks that stayed comfortable and gave my feet protection for the entirety of my workout. Here’s to hoping that these socks do the trick’
