| A brilliant run can feel like this! |
I have been on a shoe rampage lately, haven’t I? Even though I get kind of annoyed by all the “shoe specials” in Runners World, I guess I can see now why they do it.
It took me until now to realize that different feet need different shoes…different bodies need different strides…different people need different training plans. It’s common sense really (or as Rick would say, a little “Charlie Sierra”) and it’s clear that Mizuno has “gotten it” all along.
They been different kind of company from the start — forging their own pathway with unique kinds of shoes for all kinds of runners. I’ve mentioned before that several years ago when I was searching for my next pair of running shoes — I chose a brand I’d never heard of because it just felt right. Mizuno was that brand and I’ve never gone back.
Lightweight, naturally minimal in style and available for every kind of foot, I think it’s time for some of you to give up the Nike’s and try something new. Now — you have the chance!

Through Mizuno’s “Mezamashii Project,” I’ve been provided the opportunity to give out 10 invitations for a free pair of shoes. Mizuno knows the enthusiasm and excitement in the blogosphere and they want you to be a part of their vision.
Their catch phrase is “A Brilliant Run” and captures the essence of a runners high — when you feel like you could run forever and conquer the world. Been there? I have. Have you ever been running and gotten a fabulous idea or found the ambition to take a giant leap in your life? I have.
Are you a “passionate running enthusiast?” Then, this project is for you. If you would like a chance to be invited to Mezamashii and participate in this cool experience, I’ve got an opportunity for you! Not only will you be given a free pair of Mizunos of your choice, but you’ll join an community of runners that truly “get” the brilliant run.

Is it wrong I reallllly want these?For me the BRILLIANCE is in the follow thru. In saying I WILL RUN and doing it.
A brilliant run for me is a tough run. I love the feeling of accomplishment afterwards
For me a brilliant run starts in the dark and ends after sun rise. Get out there, use your body and enjoy life!
a brilliant run for me is a run where i forget i have asthma, i forget because i can breathe 😉
Brilliant Runs are the ones that I am able to completely clear my head on. I get home and have no idea what I thought about for the last hour! Total mental peace in addition to a physical high!I tweeted, And am following mizuno on fb and twitter already!
A BRASS brilliant run for me is getting out there and doing it. It's been harder to fine time to run since having a baby, but I love when I've been able to run! Makes me feel like me!My type pad in my phone is being weird I dunno why it says brass in caps and it won't let me delete lol
This is an easy one to answer. A brilliant run for me is when I feel freeeee. It doesn't matter if I've run 3 or 8 miles. What matters is that I'm having so much fun that I feel like I'm skipping in my heart. Sometimes I have to contain my facial expressions because I'm just so happy to be running that I don't want to look like I'm running from the looney bin.
I'd love these and a brilliant run. Need new shoes and dying to try out mizuno
For me, a brilliant run is that moment after a long, hard run, when you have had a second to catch your breath, and you want nothing more then to turn around and do it again.
Ah! I would love a new pair of Mizunos! For me, a brilliant run is early in the morning and the feeling of accomplishment before most people are even awake! 🙂 I tweeted and also followed you on FB 🙂

A brilliant run for me is when I'm done I'm feeling invincible and confident , finishing a run strong and not dragging too the end.

A brilliant run for me is one in which my head is cleared, distance flies by, and my breathing stays light. Also, all of my runs include mizunos, that's pretty much a given. And that's why I am PUMPED about this giveaway.Not sure if we are supposed to comment separately about tweeting and liking your page, but I did both! 🙂

Right now I'm coming back from an injury so any run is a brilliant one! I love my Mizunos and have been wearing this brand for years–and my injury had nothing to do with the shoes or running in them!Liked and Tweeted too!
A brilliant run = the endorphins at the end that make me feel like a million bucks! Tweeted and liked too 🙂

In my old job, I ran because it was required, up until a car accident last year. Then I couldn't anymore. After a long recovery, I now run because I want to, for as long as I want to, and no one tells me different. That's brilliant.
