Saucony giveaway!

I told you I was way behind on my reviews and giveaways and I wasn't kidding -- here's my second one this week with more to come over the next few days. Brace yourselves!

Today I have RUNNING SHOES for you, people. Yup, pretty much the numero-uno piece of gear that every runner needs. OK, some of you chesty runners, and all of my fellow breast-feeders out there, would probably vote for sports bras but, you know, running shoes are up there on the list of important gear. Unless you are running barefoot then you need running shoes. And a good pair is always better than a crappy one so, if you're anything like me you end up spending a few hundred dollars on shoes each year.

Yikes, right? I know. But, c'mon, running is worth it!

So, anyway, about these running shoes that I have for you. Well, it's actually Onlineshoes.com that has them for you. They have offered to give one of my lucky readers $100 to spend on Saucony running shoes! You can pick out whatever you'd like. Maybe even something minimalist, if you're so inclined, like these bad boys:


The stylish black and pink Saucony Hattori. That's what I would go for, because they look ever so slick. And probably fast. And who couldn't use a little slick speed in their life? But, like I said, you could pick any of the Saucony shoes -- and Onlineshoes.com has plenty of them.

Do you want to win $100 to spend on Sauconys at OnlineShoes.com?

To enter -- leave me a comment and let me why need some new shoes.

  49. Over a 1000 miles on my "everyday" training Sauconys. I've been wearing them since the beginning of the year for everything but my races.

I know i need to have a pair for rotation and for different types of training, like my long runs and my shorter speed work! Plus I am poor...aren't we all? I can hardly support my running habit. I would sell a kidney if it didn't mean i would be down and out for a while to recover. =/

    Thanks for the giveaway!!! =)

    ReplyDelete
  82. Let me tell you why i need new shoes: I have one GOOD pair (i probably have much lower standards than you professionals on what is "good", but these are my first more expensive ones) and oh, can you feel the diff between the good and not-as-good ones! The problem is i wanna keep that pair for only running, but then i worry i'll injure something cross training in the not-so-good ones...Some new (Free) ones would be wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Oh, I don't *need* shoes. I *want* shoes. I have a problem. But you can help support my addiction :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. Ok I need new shoes because I don't know how many miles are on my shoes. I bought my shoes at Plato's Closet (a second hand store) for like $14. They had good tread and I thought that was a reasonable way to know whether a shoe was useable. I've now learned that's not really true. But I don't have money for new shoes...unless I win some!

  91. Why do I need shoes?
    after a knee injury this winter, PT advised me that I had been running in the wrong shoe for my foot (thanks local running store!) so all my kayano's gotta go and it's HELLO Saucony Slowtwitch!!
    This would be PERFECT
