  • I made a bet with my FI to lose 30lbs by our wedding date (Oct.24) , he has promised to run with me every morning and help me tone what needs to be toned. I haven't worn a good pair of sneakers in a while (haven't needed too), so this is the perfect way to start off my well fitness process with a good pair of running shoes.
  • I'm really trying to get into running and would love a new pair of sneakers to start me off in the right direction!

  • I would love a new pair of sneakers! I broke my ankle while in Japan (making it ankle break #2) and I've been re-habing it for the past two years by swimming, biking, and using the elliptical. Something like this would be just the thing to get me back into the swing of running!
  • My wide feet could use a great pair of NB sneakers! Whilst training for my 5K in June, I was having issues with my one foot and I really think my sneaks had something to do with it. I have used NB sneakers many many times and they haven't let me down!

    I think I need a new motivator to keep me going on my weight-loss journey!! I really want to run a marathon, it's on my bucket list! Maybe getting these sneaks will help me not only with motivation but have great support to keep me going!

    Anniversary

  • I ran an impromptu 5k, mostly uphill, on my vacation recently.  I always questioned the importance of the correct running shoes and spending money on them.   After not being able to move my legs for 3 days, I get it.  You have to have the right gear for the right activity.  Otherwise, your program gets derailed by the aches and pains of improper footwear.
    ROCK IS KING!!
  • Great contest, it would definitely help me get in shape for my wedding!

  • I so badly need a new pair of running shoes. My current pair are falling apart and there is very little bottom on them. I have a hard time finding a running shoe to begin with as I have very small and narrow feet. My Champion running shorts are getting worn out too and they don't have any pockets. I know I could hit my weight loss goal with the grand prize.

  • My sneakers are on their last legs. Would be great to have a new pair to wear when working out.
  • My fiance is an avid runner.  He does anything from short races to marathons, and also helps kids who want to be great runners in a mentor group in Chicago.  I have never run with him and he really wants me to someday.  This would be a sweet prize to show him as a surprise to finally start running with him.  I just hope I would be able to keep up! 
  • I would love new sneakers!  Mine have done their job and are completely worn out!

  • I would absolutally love to see the difference that good shoes would make compaired to my walmart brand tennies!  I just got engaged, and like practially every other girl out there, I now feel really really really motivated to get in shape...those pictures stay up FOREVER. I am playing around with the idea of a 5K - my best friend, as well as my fiance, have been dogging me to join in for a while now, and I think that good shoes might make it hurt just a little less! However, saving for a wedding on a waitresses' income doesn't really allow for athletic upgrades! Either way, I'll be working with what I've got....it would just make starting out suck a little less to have gear meant for what I'm doing to it!

  • I am so excited to be entered! I have been having problems with my right foot, even to the point that I needed to have xrays taken! I can't afford to buy a great pair of running shoes, but I really would love to get back into running. My 80 lb dog, Penny (mastiff & german shephard) would love to be running with me again! Thanks for this healthy contest!

  • The reason I'd like new sneakers...
    With all the crazy stress of planning for a wedding I failed at my diet and have started to put weight back on...now the dress is getting too small...my old new balance sneakers have finally seen the end of their day (I work in a toddler room of a day care and there are only so many times you can get cereal on the bottom of your shoes and clean them enough to run on a treadmil).  It would mean the world to me to have a seperate pair of sneakers for just the gym that I wouldn't have to wear to work, I just can't afford to do that.
  • I would love a new pair of New Balance shoes... They are the only ones that fit my feet properly. I love running, weight training, bootcamps, kickboxing, cycling... basically anything that involves exercise... It's my addiction and I couldn't be happier!!!!
  • These shoes would be perfect for me so I can continue to play tennis and go running with my FI...  i would love these!

    Planning Bio
  • Getting married next July, I already purchased my wedding dress (size 8).  That alone gives me some motivation to work out and get healthy, as I've been busy with work and school 6 days a week.  I just joined a gym last week with my fiance, and have yet to go.  The sneakers I currently have (the other brand) are horrible on my feet and I am constantly getting cramps and spasms.  I would love to work out in a pair of comfy new sneakers as I race towards my goals to get healthy!
  • I am just starting to work out so I can reach my goal. I love New Balance sneakers and desperately need a good pair but I am on a very tight budget right now. These sneakers would be just the boost that I need to get my butt in gear!
  • I would love a new pair of shoes to help me keep up with my kids, especially my youngest daughter who is in softball, volleyball, and now wants to join basketball and used to play football.  Of course I want to look good for the wedding too but the first step is the hardest and I have a partner in crime who would help me all the way.  She even goes on walks with me

  • Looking forward to the happiest day of my life!
  • Im a nurse on a busy med/surg floor and am pretty much standing on my feet for 8 hours straight. While i love caring for people, i definitly feel the wear and tear at the end of the day, making a trip to the gym a challenge. Getting a fresh pair of running shoes would definitly ease the stress on my tired ol' soles, erasing away any excuse for why i cant achieve my fitness goals before my wedding day :)
  • Wow, this is perfect! I really need new workout shoes...
  • I think this is just what I need to step up my training!!  Those shorts are super cute and I have been really procrastinating buying a new pair of sneakers.  Good luck all!
  • For my Fiance and I, running isn't something we do together because of the upcoming wedding.  Instead, it's one of the reasons why we're having a wedding at all.  While it's been a 3.5 year long distance relationship, one of the things we look forward to most is going on runs when we're together.  And even when we're not together, we try to run at the same time in our respective states, so it's almost like having a running partner with you.  Neither of us are natural runners, but it's fantastic for stress relief & bonding.  This would be a fantastic treat to sport some new running gear in celebration of our wedding & the continuation of our running tradition!
  • It would be nice to be able to have a pair of shoes that don't give me blisters!  Without developing blisters, I will actually be able to go for runs.
  • These shoes are great for working out or even all day wear...Very comfy, toe room is great and i love how they just feel so great, i forget  i am working out and they are on!!
    My soul mate....I've definitely met mine. We are exactly alike, and yet the exact opposites. We are perfectly in sync, and yet always make up for what the other lacks. We are in each others' dreams, and thoughts. Grand's Woman
  • I love new balance! They offer great support and are actually comfy for my wide flat feet. I just completed my first sprint tri and going for an olympic next summer because of budget reasons.  Anything to keep motivated is always appreciated!
  • These would be a great way to get myself back on track in the final 3 months before my wedding... I just got back from vacation and have no motivation to hit the gym.... these would give me a boost!

  • I would LOVE a new pair of running shoes! The only shoes my weird feet fit into are new balance and asics. Since my wedding is in October I really need to step up the workouts!!
  • My fiance and I both bought NB sneakers last year, when we started working on our weight loss goals. They are the most comfortable shoes for my workout, especially on the treadmill! I have now lost 40 pounds, and kept them off since Jan. I could not be happier!

    BTW, my shoes are so comfortable, my 13 y/o daughter keeps stealing them from me!
