Do you run like an animal? I do. Sometimes it’s more guinea pig than gazelle but I still like to think of it as animalistic. If you run like an animal then you could win yourself a new pair of Pearl Izumi running shoes (see below for details).
A rep from Pearl Izumi recently contacted me and offered me a free pair of their shoes to try. (Before I continue, let me just say that I think it’s awesome that Pearl Izumi has chosen this particular method of marketing their shoes.) Anyway, since I’ve already received a free pair of their shoes and loved them, I was torn between whether to accept another pair or try to give them away to one of my dear readers. On the one hand I really wanted another pair of free Pearl Izumis, and on the other hand it would be really cool if I could give a pair away to one of you guys. I knew what I had to do. I wrote an e-mail back to the PI rep demanding that he give me two pairs of shoes, one for me and one for you guys. I tried to pretend that I had a lot of influence in the running blogosphere, and I threatened that I would tell people to not buy Pearl Izumi shoes if he didn’t acquiesce to my demands (and I used big words like acquiesce so that I sounded important). OK, that’s a lie. However we did work it out so I get a free pair of Pearl Izumi running shoes and you get a free pair of Pearl Izumi running shoes, just like that Directv commercial used to advertise.
Anyway, if you want a free pair of Pearl Izumi running shoes then all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me how you run like an animal. You have until midnight on Thursday to leave your comment, and on Friday I’ll randomly pick a winner. The winner will receive a Pearl Izumi card that has a special discount code on it, allowing you to go onto their website and pick out any pair of running shoes free of charge. After you leave your comment, I recommend heading over to www.wearenotjoggers.com to pick out your shoes in anticipation of your victory on Friday. You’re totally going to win this thing, I can feel it.
I love the Pearl Izumi streak so much that I extolled its virtues (completely independently of any promise of free bling) on my own blog yesterday:
ReplyDeletehttp://raceslikeagirl.com/2009/02/15/spring-race-training-week-4/
I just starting wearing Pearl Izumi's last week, so far i love 'em. I went back to the clearance store yesterday to pick up an extra pair before they closed for good! Hope you enjoy the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal at work in habitat restoration, scaling hills and running through mud to plant trees and destroy invasives. I love my work.
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal...a sloth! ;)
ReplyDeleteGIVE ME DEM SHOES!!!!
I run just like a pack of desperate hyenas who are after the leftovers of a fresh kill. In this case, the fresh kill is the free running shoes and Vanilla did the dirty work.
ReplyDeleteYes, I run like an animal...
ReplyDeleteBambi on ice!
Slipping, sliding, legs one direction, body in a different direction....that sums my running style up completely!
I run like an animal, yessiree. Buttcheeks hanging out and all. Grrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteOh, and in case it wasn't obvious, I was hoping the mileage in my post is evidence enough that I run like an animal.
ReplyDeleteI run like a tortoise. With flames painted on the side of my shell to give me the illusion of incredible speed. Because, seriously, I'm en fuego.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Pearl Izumis. I'd like to, but only if they're free. (hint, hint)
I run like a young giraffe - limbs all over the place, and none too graceful. I would love to try a pair of Pearl Izumi's!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for Pearl Izumi's light blue girly stuff. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I totally run like a deer. Prancing and up on my toes with the giant calves to prove it!
Sweet shoes, I would love to win them. I definitely run like an animal, I'm faster than a hibernating bear!
ReplyDeleteI love my pearls and I do run like an animal. I have actually outran very small dogs before. I've also been out running when no animal in their right mind would be caught outside. With that being said, I'm grateful that you are randomly selecting a winner. Even odds works best for me.
ReplyDeleteI would love to say I run like a gazelle, but mine leans towards guinea pig too. Of course gazelles tend to run when chased by lions, guinea pigs run to have fun around their cage. So I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entering b/c well, you know why, but I have to give you props for considering your readers. Never did it once cross my mind to give away my free shoes.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I run like a giraffe, but now all I can think of is Eddie Izzard doing his evil giraffe routine. I don't run like that...
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I have to hop on the ridiculously slow animal bandwagon, too. I think I'll choose walrus. Probably I'd be incredibly fast minus my winter blubber!! Or WITH some awesome new shoes.
ReplyDeleteI run like a tiger, but not a real tiger--fast and dangerously. And certainty not like that annoying tiger with that breakfast cereal--loud and always tagging along. No more like a stuffed tiger from a comic strip--only slower.
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal, the turtle... slow and steady. Thanks for the chance to win a great pair of shoes.
ReplyDeleteLately recovering from my foot injury I limp/run alot, so I guess you could say I run like a wounded buffalo....
ReplyDeleteI run (in my dreams) like an American pika...they are related to rabbits & hares...and like me, are extremely temperature sensitive. Pikas like to rub cheeks to advertise for sex...I prefer other methods...
ReplyDeleteI run like a pony... just trottin' along!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I am a turtle, but definitely not a gazelle. I think of myself more like a house cat. A house cat can be fast when she wants to be but often opts to curl up on the couch and take a nap.
ReplyDeleteFor a chance to win a free pair of Pearl Izumi running shoes I'll bear crawl my next run and bark at every dog I see. Ok, that's a lie but you were lying in your post so I felt morally obligated to lie as well.
ReplyDeleteI run like a leopard. Cuz they're pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd how do I get famous enough to get contacted for giveaways?
I've been running like an animal for 2 years going, using PI SynchroFloats. Love 'em!
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal. I'm just not sure which one. ;)
ReplyDeleteI run like my dog - a little too fast out of the gate, but full of enthusiasm none the less. Except I never let anyone sniff my butt.
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to try Pearl Izumi's - they just look fast! Pick me, pick me!
I run like an animal being chased! I don't want to end up someone else's dinner.
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about the Pearl Izumi's for a while but my local running store doesn't carry them.
Sure I run like an animal alright. One that pisses and sheets all over the dayum place. Do you want to know how many dead end streets I've used as a toilet :P
ReplyDeleteI'd love to say that I'm faster than a speeding ticket, but the truth is I run like a slug who's just realized that he hadn't left the stove on after all and therefore there's really no reason for all this rush might as well take it easy and enjoy the scenery while the sun is shining.
ReplyDelete(Hey, my sentences run too. What can I say.)
What kind of animal quiz shows me:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.animalinyou.com/survey.asp
I am a Lion or a bear, apparently:
Lion:
Perhaps because of their powerful personalities, lions are not detail oriented, for the minutia of the mundane irritates the lion.
Bear:
Familiar with the seduction of the couch, their ability to sleep soundly is legendary throughout the animal world.
Running? I'm no gazelle...but more of a loper. What is that?
(PS-I'm old. I'd love the shoes!)
Sure, I run like an animal. I run like a cheetah, just a very old, fat, out of shape cheetah.....that smokes.
ReplyDeleteI run like a seal whose flippers unexpectedly morphed into legs. Maybe if I got some PIs, it's improve my stride. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like a hamster running on her wheel when I run on the treadmill, that counts, right??
ReplyDeleteUsually I run like a hamster (stuck on a treadmill. I tend to wish I had one of those awesome human size Double Dare hamster wheels). When out on the streets, I'd say I'm closest to a scared armadillo. I'm arunning as fast as I can and you can tell there's a lot of effort, it's just still closer to the back of the pack.
ReplyDeleteI have heard a lot of people extol the virtues of the Pearls. My running style is akin to to a Polar Bear. Loping and bounding along until the front can't keep up and the ass overtakes. It can;t be a pretty site from behind.
ReplyDeleteI run like a llama-- I spit way too much... totally not lady like.
ReplyDeleteThe one pair of PI's I had I totally loved, but they were the wrong type for me without enough support. The lady at the PI Outlet store in Park City gave me the wrong ones. No worries, though. They were by far the most comfortable pair of running shoes I've ever had. I've been dying to try the right ones.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I run like an animal.. because no sane person trains for marathons, only we animals. We bear our teeth, grunt and groan, and push through pain to reach some arbitrary mileage goal. We rock.
wow...nice use of persuasion skills to get an extra pair!!
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal. Actually, I run like I'm being chased by an animal. Sometimes it works.
Those shoes look sweet!!! They so want me!
I run like the neighborhood mutt. Run a bit, stop smell the bushes, run some more, stop take a leak on the neighbors flagpole, run some more, stop and check out what's in the butcher's window, run some more, stop to get a drink.
ReplyDeleteI think you get the picture.
But, some Pearls would make me fly like an eagle soaring to the finish line. I just know it.
I run like an animal because after I swim and bike for that long there is no choice if I want to see the finish line.
ReplyDeleteTHe animal I run most like is a turtle. Well, OK, technically that would be a reptile, but I am trying. I am hoping to someday be a gazelle, but that is long way off from where I am now.
ReplyDeleteI run like a fish. That's what happens when you learn to swim before you learn to run!
ReplyDeleteGood golly. Consider this my token comment.
ReplyDeleteHere in the desert, I need to run like a camel, especially in the summer.
ReplyDeleteUmm, do camels run?
I'll run like an animal for those shoes!!
ReplyDeleteI run like whatever animal you like...pick one.
E
I run like a meerkat, I'm always distracted, looking for predators and shiny things. 'Wait, what's that over there? Oh right, I'm running, try to focus and not fall.'
ReplyDeleteIn my mind, I run like a gazelle and in reality...oh, who cares about in reality?
ReplyDeleteI totally run like an animal! I think the PI shoes would hone my animal running skills and turn me more into a jaguar and less like the wounded mutt I usually resemble. :P
ReplyDeleteDuring the marathon, I ran like a wounded muppet. Does that count? Wakka wakka.
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal! Yes, I do. I fly past everyone. Well...okay...but maybe I would if I had these shoes.
ReplyDeleteman you are good for so many things..I just thought I read for laughter, but now there are goodies...
ReplyDeleteLet's see I wish I was like a gazelle, but occassionally I do this weird arm thing and I'm like a T-Rex
I run like an animal too! I run like a reindeer! I slip and slide when it is wet or icy...I can run semi-fast for short bursts, but I bet I could really FLY with some new PI's!!! Run Rudolph Run, I'd be flyin' past fast!!!
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal away from Pearl Izumis.
ReplyDeleteThey send me size 13 shoes for free, but I had to give them away (sans fancy contest). Do you know how hard it is to find someone who wears a size 13 running shoe?
Not only are you offering free shoes, but you inspired some entertaining comments. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThese days I seem to run like a draft horse - slow and plodding, but with pretty decent stamina.
You've gotten a lot of comments, but I doubt that many people run as naturally as I. I run like an animal.
ReplyDeleteWhen I train young Soldiers to go for distance, the group is so fast we are immediately referred to as gazelles. We become like the finest beast conquering the trails we travel.
I am like a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a canine so warrior like it was bread to hunt down lions! That's what I feel like when I'm tearing through Animal Kingdom during the WDW marathon. "Where's Simba!," goes through my brain. "I'm on the hunt, I'm after you," I scream as I raid the shops at the foot of Everest. Not even the Yeti himself could take me on.
And like the black rhino, when I'm pressed into action I'm ready to charge. Full bore, nose first.
Do I run like an Animal?
Your damn right I do!
Just watch where you step when your drafting me!
I definitely run like an animal! It's sort of reminiscent of a wounded bear or moose or something, with a lot of whining, crying, and gnashing of teeth, but I do my best.
ReplyDeleteMost days I run like a zebra ; )
ReplyDeletehttp://tinyurl.com/dj9v5v
I run AWAY from animals, and I guess that means I run like an animal, since animals run away from each other. Or something. :)
ReplyDeleteShoot, all the good animals are taken already. I guess I'll go with camel. I run like a camel, slow, but dependable.
ReplyDeleteI run like a dog because I stop frequently to pee! (And I skipped the other comments, so if someone else already said this, I totally did not steal it.)
ReplyDeleteI aspire to run like an animal. On the days that is too cold and snowy to go outside (remember I said aspire to be like an animal), I am more like a hampster on a wheel that keeps going but doesn't go anywhere.
ReplyDeleteRunning like an animal would be tons better than running like a human, as it seems that animals don't experience the same kind of pain and ennui that people do.
ReplyDeleteEven better than running like an animal would be running like a robot.
I run more like a dead animal, but at least I look like an animal while running.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time ever, I'm RUNNING in the WINTER like some sort of arctic fox - only slower.
ReplyDeleteI've never worn PI shoes, but I love my PI sports bras!
Hey Pearl Izumi, I'd love to give away a pair of shoes on my site too! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I were recently saying that we were running like cougars. This only came up because one of the gals is getting a divorce and was asking at what age you become "a cougar".
Yes I run like an animal....
ReplyDeleteTHE animal from the muppet show.
I grunt at people as i run.
....the people who do not get out of my way, parents that insist on walking hand in hand with their 4 kids completely blocking the road, cars that won't let you cross the road, dogs that chase me, ....and of course most of all....about my second hand Asics that need replacing.
Hint, Hint!!
On a good day I run like a panther, silent and stealthy as I come upon my prey (the unassuming walkers on the bike path). On a bad day day its more like a wounded buffalo, and you can hear me from a mile away.
ReplyDeleteI would love those shoes!
Pearl Izumi. My favorite shoes. I ran like a flamingo today because i only have one good foot.
ReplyDeleteI run something like a lumbering bear.
ReplyDeleteI <3 Pearl Izumis. Especially when they're free. So here's my comment.
ReplyDeleteI run like a cow.
*sniffle*
me - 'I run soo much like an animal...'
ReplyDeleteoverly bored family - 'How much like an animal do you run?'
me - 'I run soo much like an animal that Dr. Doolittle is my coach. I'll be here all week, remember to tip your waitresses they work hard for their money'
Never tried Pearl Izumis but I think it'd be awesome to test new shoes with all the knee problems I'm having and see if it's tied to that.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I run like the hybrid love-child of the tortoise and the hare. Not as fast as the hare, but slowly getting quicker than the tortoise.
Clever, really how open-to-interpretation "run like an animal" can be.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I run like a zebra because I can't keep a straight line. Ooo. . . evasive!
Other times I run like bovine might do long distance. Excellent. Graceful.
Love the blog!
I run like a Naked Mole Rat.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I don't run naked (but this might disgust or horrify people and make them run faster--maybe even more effective then a tiger frothing at the mouth!).
Maybe I run more like a mole, because I have really poor eyesight and occasionally fall down and think about burrowing underground because I get so embarrased about my spaziness.
If only I could have a pair of PI's my life would be complete!
Tammy
I run like an animal...perhaps a turtle maybe? Are we going for mammals here (wait, is a turtle a mammal?)? Perhaps a hippopotamus? Whatever animal I am...it's not in a hurry :). I'd like to be a cheetah or something, but I don't see that in my near future :).
ReplyDeletePerhaps new shoes would help :). Thanks for the giveaway, cool prize!
Over the summer some guy on the running trail told me i jogged like a chicken...flapping my arms or something.
ReplyDeleteI run like a penguin. Maybe some sweet new kicks would help me run like a gazelle.
ReplyDeleteHow appropriate...my husband was just telling someone the other morning how when we're running and are stopped at a red light, I keep moving and jumping up and down and it reminds him of a rooster.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this is better or worse than my freshman year of high school when all the boys called me goat.
A new pair of shoes would definitely soften the blow from both of those nicknames!
I was told years ago, by an old man walking on the boardwalk that i run like a gazelle. So, i was all like really??? He was all like SURE!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, a gazelle and those sneakers rock!!
Thanks for doing this bro!!!
"You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win..."
ReplyDeleteok- not even close to the fastest but if I were allowed to win...I would run like the pink panther in those snazzy red and pink sneaks :)
As a new runner, I definitely run like an animal. Just not a graceful, sleek, or agile one! Maybe new shoes would help? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI -drink- run like a fish. I need free shoes to keep afloat my bar tab.
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal because I have this bum knee, which might have been caused by my leg's being caught in an illegal trap, and then I had to gnaw it off in order to escape and even though I'm obviously lame, all of the female animals of my species STILL want to have sex with me because I'm THAT animalistic, plus none of them have ever done it with a one-legged manimal before, so it's like a thing they could check off on their list, right after "do it with another female of my species", which frankly I hope they video.
ReplyDeletePlus, all the gay male animals of my species want to have sex with me, too, but I'm really not interested, though that implies no judgment against them on my part. In fact, I think they have imppecable taste in their choice of gay sex partner (not that it'll ever happen, mind you, but they can dream).
So I think I should get these shoes because no one else here has overcome as much as I have - having to gnaw my own leg off and all - although I haven't read any of these other comments, so I can't be sure.
And just to curry favor with you, Oprah, I have adopted your comma-splice-rich run-on sentence style of writing in this comment which I think deserves to win me these shoes, don't you think so too?
By the way, how's Steadman? And Gayle?
In conclusion, I was robbed. (Because I think you're gonna give these shoes to someone else, you animal, you.)
I run like a basset hound... Only I don't stop to sniff quite as often.
ReplyDeleteI almost always run in my running skirts. The only animals I have seen in a skirt are those dancing hippos in Fantasia. Gosh, I sure hope that is not what I look like when running!
ReplyDeleteI run like a Bear with the flu. Knock over a lot of stuff, terrain doesn't matter, and I puke a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say that I'm a mule. I'm too stubborn to give into the idea that I can't do this. When I started running, at age 42, I was running away from the overwhelming grief of a recent miscarriage. I shouldn't have been able to run - I was too old, too out of shape, too much of everything that is the antithesis of a runner. But then I ran a mile. Soon I ran two, then three, six, ten. Despite what my mind tells me, my resolute heart won't let me be still - the mule inside of me continues to keep going, too stubborn to stop.
ReplyDeleteMy PI Streaks are AWESOME! When I wear them, I almost feel like a Thoghoubred!
I'd say I run like an oxen. My feet land too hard and I'm slow. But I'll get it done!
ReplyDeletekmdeller at gmail dot com
Wow, well I like to think that I run like an animal that climbs up hills. Like a big horned billy goat because I think I am the fastest up the hills and the best at running them.
ReplyDeletewhat a great giveaway!
That is so nice of Pearl Izumi!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm racing, I'd say I run like a leopard by slowly stalking my prey.
I often see deer when I run and wish I could run like them.
Wow! You're going to have some work to do it seems, given that I am a bit late and the 93rd comment! Anyway, I just like an antelope, except for the speed. For years people made fun of me for my leaping style, which was not always the best thing when playing ultimate frisbee for it did not allow for quick stops and turns. Now I've learned to tone down the up-and-down motion in favour of moving forward nice and steady, though I'm sure I still look too much like an antelope.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I see this post just has the usual 93 comments. Anyway, I do run like an animal. A snorting, sweating, often sniveling animal snot-rocketing mucus to and fro and spitting every quarter mile. It's truly frightening. Is this really the theme PI wants to run with?
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal through dirt, mud and puddles..... while passing mooing cows in Minnesota countryside.
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal.
ReplyDeleteWhen I run it's like poultry in motion...
Because when I run it looks like a chicken with its head cut off.
Well, I definitely run like an animal. Just like a cheetah disguised as a snail so I don't scare off any of my prey.
ReplyDeleteAnd just about as fast also.
I run like a penguin...waddling all the way to the finish line. Except that I won't be caught dead waddling outside in the winter time. Maybe I run like a one of those tropical penguins...
ReplyDeleteI'd love some PIs!
Holy crap, look at how your comment tally shoots through the roof!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I have no interest in switching brands, but best of luck to whoever wins!
I'm currently running like a sloth -- I'm clinging desperately to the tree of sanity while not moving, because I'm battling runner's knee. Do you think Pearl Izumi shoes might make me more like a creature that does not hang upside down?
ReplyDeleteI think I run like a somewhat overweight Basset Hound and at times look like Grover from Sesame Street with my arms waving crazily and the inefficient hopping yet not really going anywhere very quickly.
ReplyDeleteI run like a hamster in a wheel. Around and around and around I go -never getting anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI run like my Basset Hound "Booger" I kind of mope around and stop frequently to sniff the random spot, tree, or sign post. I am usually trying to find out if other runners have been their before me. This may take several minutes because walkers, bikers and some other breeds of dog smell similar to runners. If there has been another runner, I take this opportunity to mark the spot as my own. Then as a car comes in sight I get startled and run at a sprint to impress the driver before they realized I was stopped.
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal for fear that if I stop I'll no longer have that tiger in me to calm my days and nights. RUN ON!
ReplyDeleteI run like an animal whenever I am in a race. Nothing can stop me!
ReplyDeleteHi vanilla,
ReplyDeleteI found you through Merry at Cranky Fitness. Run like an animal? I feel like, when it's going well, and I'm able to drop all the baggage that I carry as a human, all the awkwardness and imbalance that goes with it, I can kind of tap into the fact that I am, we all are, truly animals. And run like it. On a good day.
Thanks for the chance the shoes!
I too run like an animal, a half fast animal, but an animal none-the-less!! I'd LOVE LOVE a new pair of shoes cause I know they'd help me run faster!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, if I had to pick what kind of animal, a beagle- my aging beagle girl is quick off the line, but tires... I have juv. rheumatoid arthritis and am new to running... a really good pair of running shoes is key for my endurance. wooooo wooooo (thats beagle for 'have a great day')
ReplyDeleteI run like a kiwi .. in that I run in New Zealand. Will Pearl Izumi send my shoes all the way to the other side of the world?
ReplyDeleteI am a scurrier. I think to count as running both feet have to be off the ground at the same time. So what animal? Probably like a mouse. Sad, but true. Those shoes are sweet! I'm sure I could catch some air with them on my feet.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think I run like a rhinoceros. That sounds intimidating, but I'm commenting more on my slowness and gracelessness than being a powerful mammal with giant horns on my face, though it's been said I have a big nose. I think it looks distinguished.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I run like any animal, but I definitely stink like one afterward. sometimes before, too. love your blog, way to get me to come out of the woodwork and comment!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on a ranch and we had an old cow that that limped around the pasture. She was a good mother but she had a leg that just didn't cooperate with the other legs. Poor bovine ran to the hay truck sideways, sort of. After about 10 or 12 miles I develop this same limp if I don't take tylenol before my fun. I have actually caught myself tipping my head to the side to compensate for this bodily tilt. So I guess I run like an old crippled cow. That sounds rough. I'm glad we didn't put that old down. Or did we....
ReplyDeletewhat if you don't run like an animal but tend to walk like an Egyptian? Can you still enter the contest?
ReplyDeletePackman
I run like a middle aged giant sea lion. Which is to say, not much and not well. I bike.
ReplyDeleteBut my friend that linked to you runs like a freaking crazy puppy happy to see you come home without enough living to get it all out. Srsly, this woman was in KY during the ice storms and was without power for weeks and still she ran. At the same time the place she works axed so many people it was human deforestation going down and even she isn't safe entirely, and she still ran. She acquired a stalker who left her notes letting her know she was being watched when she went out to run and that didn't stop her. She is clearly a running animal and were I to win, I would give you her shoe size and an address to send them to her.
What can I say? I am that kind of enabler. I am going to link to her blog instead of mine here in the comments.
Sweet kicks you got there.
Boo
I wish I ran like an impala. Well, I guess I probably do...the Chevy variety as opposed to the African antelope variety.
ReplyDeleteIs there an animal that runs just so it has an excuse to sit around and drink beer all night? Cause I would run like that animal.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?! You and your influence rock! Just this morning I got bit by a dog. If that isn't running like an animal I don't know what is.
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been running like a sloth with a heart condition. I think that a pair of Pearls would at least turn me into a carnivourous sloth with a heart condition.
ReplyDeletePearl Izumi has THE BEST ads! They will scare any casual jogger into a serious runner! And so will their shoes! I Want a pair!!!
ReplyDeleteI run more like an animal than I care to admit. But I love me some PI's.
ReplyDeleteI love Pearl Izumi...but I REALLY love free stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI run like a middle-aged crab with knee problems--though seldom sideways. Forward is hard enough.
ReplyDeleteAwesome PR smackdown by the way--you got the shoes, and a pair to give away! You rule!
My blog title says it all!
