Mizuno Running Shoe Giveaway! Also Desi.
Today is a big day. I'm a fan of Devi Davila. She's bad-ass, doesn't make a big deal over herself and is faster than wildfire on steroids.
Sarah and Alyssa have told me that I remind them of Desi (whoa flattering x 1000) and today Sarah took it upon herself to provide a side by side and twitter it to the world:
I loved it.
Poor Desi was included on these exchanges as well and rather than blocking all of us on twitter and filing for a restraining order she TWEETED BACK AT US!!
#lifenowcomplete.
On an entirely less self-absorbed note, I have a pair of shoes to give away!! Mizunos specifically!
A couple weeks ago, Lori at Mizuno told me they were starting a new marketing project that would be more of a grass-roots campaign where their greatest fans (me me me) would be able to send shoes to people they thought would enjoy them!
The campaign is called the "Mezamashii Project". Mezamashii means "brilliant" in Japanese and the goal of the campaign is to "deliver more ecstatic, electric, wind-in-your heart running". Hell yes I'd like that.
I'm planning on getting the new Elixir for myself and already sent a pair of Inspires to Anthony because he is training for a 5k in July.
I'd also like to give a pair away on the blog. Whoever wins will get a code where they can go to the website to enter their code and then call a number to get almost any pair of Mizunos (up to $150 in value) they want for free!
Pretty cool huh?
There are three ways to enter the drawing:
1 Entry: Leave a comment telling me you want new Mizunos!
2 Entries: Leave two comments: one saying you want the shoes and one saying you've tweeted at me (@FasterBunny) and Mizuno (@MizunoRunning) about the Mezamashii Project giveaway AND followed @MizunoRunning.
You don't have to follow me if you don't want. I don't want to subject anyone to that crap by force.
3 Entries: Write a comment in Haiku form and write a comment saying you've done all the twitter requirements above. Yes you are DQ'd if you get the Haiku syllables wrong.
*edit - if you're not coming from your own blog please leave some sort of identifier like a last name / email / whatever so that your entry is unique and no one else with your name claims your prize!
Enter by Midnight PST next Thursday night (the 14th). Good luck and tell all of your shoe deficient friends!

ReplyDeletechickadeestation at gmail dot com
I'd love some new Mizunos to run in while I train for my first full. I have two pairs already and I love them!
ReplyDeleteSome new Mizunos would be awesome. This past year I converted to them from Asics. I am currently breaking in some Elixir 7s and I love, love, love them. (You also cannot go wrong with purple zebra stripe!)
ReplyDeleteI would love to try a pair of mizunos! I think I had a pair of trail shoes way back in the day, but not recently. Also, congrats on your new PR! You killed it!

ReplyDelete@sherunsonplants
I have commented
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about it too
Got my fingers crossed!
Mizunos are the only shoe I will ever run in and it would be awesome to have a second pair since my first will be on it's last legs (feet?) soon!
ReplyDeleteLaura C (lmcww8)
I love Mizunos. Pick me:-)
ReplyDeleteShin splints annoy me
ReplyDeleteI've run too many miles
Time for a new pair!
My twitter handle is @GoopyTweets, a direct message is the best way to reach me!
Love to give Mizunos a spin...pick me? jpduly at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking for a free pair of shoes but I will tell you that the Elixers are fucking awesome. Asics DS trainers were my every day training shoes but I went to the Elixers bcause they are a bit lighter...and they are spectacular. Light, comfortable, and still enough support. Can't say that I liked my pair of inspires as much however...they just never felt right on my feet. They got most of their mileage mowing the lawn. Also I didn't abandon Asics completely, as my DS Racers are my track/tempo/racing choice. I haven't tried Mizuno's flats yet.
ReplyDeleteYes me? I love to try a pair!
ReplyDeleteSun on my back
ReplyDeleteMizunos are my wings
Now I can truly fly

ReplyDeleteAnd Mizunos are pricey
So I hope I win.
(WTF people above me?! Did you miss the second-grade lesson on haikus?)
Wait, hold on, I obviously snarked on the people above while not understanding the entry requirements. Gosh, I feel like a moron. I still want the shoes.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a free pair of awesome shoes!!!

ReplyDeleteI tweeted you and MIzuno!!! I REALLY , REALLY WANT TO win. PLEASE pick me!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Haiku!!!
ReplyDeleteI’ll give a quick haiku
I want to win this
Pull harder than ever before
No regrets win
Just a little rowing haiku as I have New Englands (NEIRA) today and my boat is the favoured to win, but we won’t win without putting everything we have into the race.

I tweeted about giveaway and followed you and I was already following MizunoRunning.
ReplyDeleteI would love a new pair of Mizunos - they are my favorite running shoes!
ReplyDeleteI need new shoes bad
ReplyDeleteLike, ridiculously bad
So I hope this works
I would love some Mizunos! I've never run in them but I know fast girls like you, SkinnyRunner and Saraoual do and they get some mad PRs done. These might be my magic bullet ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a new pair of Mizunos!
ReplyDeleteI want them I can use them, I love them!

OMG! I want some mizunos! I saw the sexy elixirs all over at my last half marathon, and I ended up feeling like my toes got eaten... soooo I think I need some mizunos, since several pairs beat me!
ReplyDeleteI want some new Mizunos!

ReplyDeleteI am almost about to retire my current pair. Would love to win
ReplyDeleteMomma needs new shoes
ReplyDeleteMomma wants to run distance
Momma loves to run
The soles on my current shoes would like to separate from from the actual shoe. I would LOVE some new shoes.
ReplyDeleteI would love a pair :-)
ReplyDeleteI would really, REALLY love to win a pair of Mizuno Running Shoes!! I desperately need new shoes.

ReplyDeleteI love Mizuno!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted and am following Mizuno Running too!
ReplyDeleteI saw your video on Sarahoual's blog yesterday and had to find your blog! You did a great job considering how much liquid you had to take in haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity! I would really like a free pair of Mizunos because I've been running on no name, lame quality shoes for more than a few months now. Every time I go to try out running shoes they only have 1 or 2 in my size or I don't like the feel of them and give up. Maybe I can win new awesome shoes instead!
I would super love a pair of Mizunos! I've actually NEVER worn a pair before... I don't even think I've tried on a pair! Also, in case you were wondering, the Chinese character in the photo says "walk" or "go" :)
ReplyDeleteI wear Mizunos
ReplyDeleteOh yes I do.
Alchemy or Wave Rider
Whatever it may be,
you make me run free!
I don't have twitter but I hope I am entered in this contest! :)

I would love a new pair of shoes! I currently have a love/hate relationship with my Brooks.
ReplyDeleteI could seriously use a new pair of shoes. 2 triathletes in one house gets expensive in a hurry! Ive been running Mizuno since a much earlier incarnation of the Wave Creation but my last few pairs have been whatever I could get cheap and my feet are longing for good shoes again!
ReplyDeleteNew shoes would be great
ReplyDeleteI tweeted as requested

ReplyDeleteI know this is too late (posted my entries bunches of days ago)....but felt haiku-inspired today after crashing during my run. I blame it on the shoes.
ReplyDeleteTotally bit it.
I crashed while running today.
Bloodied and bruised. Ouch.
(Do 'crashed' and 'bruised' count as two syllables or one?)
I want a pair of mizunos!
ReplyDeletei would be BEYOND ecstatic to get a pair of Mizuno's. I've actually never run in a pair, dying to give em a try!
