I really don’t ask for much in life. All I’ve ever wanted is…
1. No cellulite. (What? I can dream!)
2. A red car. (Yes, any red car.)
3. To always be the perfect temperature.
4. Calorie free chocolate cake.
And
5. Pink Running shoes
Finally one of those dreams came true!!!
Apparently wishes you make on shooting stars go directly to the Mizuno In Box because a rep from the company contacted me recently and offered to change my life send over a pair.
These are the Mizuno Wave Rider Special Edition
They are a moderate neutral shoe – for someone with normal pronation. I took them for a test run this morning and am in love! I feel like I have to run a little faster to pull off this shoe, so I did
I did 6 miles with a few tempo miles in the middle. 8:31, 8:09, 8:53, 8:00, 8:53
I had PB&J with a side of salsa eggs for breakfast. This TJ’s salsa is good on everything.
Then, I rushed off to work for a short shift. I wore my shoes. I may never take them off. I’m suddenly glad I never dress up
Now “Operation Thanksgiving Cooking” has begun. See ya later!
Now all I need is Toyota to send me a red car, global warming to take full effect and a cellulite cream company to sponsor me…
Question: What color are the shoes you are wearing right now?
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
Sweet shoes! My sneakers are gray with pink details..they’re actually Susan G. Komen sneakers for Nike & have little pink ribbon symbols inside. Love em!
chandra says
OMG – those are my current running shoes and I MUST have them in pink! Can I buy them anywhere?? Off to search the interwebs…
zoe says
monica, I’ve been wearing mizuno wave riders for about six years, purchased maybe 10? pairs, and run dozens of races in them including races in France, London and Panama! While my marathon race time is a few minutes (maybe 30?) off from boston qualifying time, its shocking to me that Mizuno has not contacted me to be a spokesmodel.
I’m hoping that Mizuno sees this and contacts me to send me free pink shoes too. (current ones are white & blue)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Running can lose weight. It will be nice if you are comfortable with your attire in running. Thank you for sharing this to us.
Amanda says
My running shoes are orange and white Brooks Ghost’s…….. I really love those hot pink shoes of yours! I might have to get them : D
kaitlyn says
I just switched to the Mizuno waves for the first time a few weeks ago. I am so happy with them!
Lyn @ FueledBySalad says
Those shoes look awesome! And I’m not wearing any shoes right now, just strutting around in my bare feet. 😉
Lily Fluffbottom says
I took my shoes off even though I’m at work. Those are totes cute.
Erin says
Just ordered Mizuno Wave Creations in a BRIGHT orange – they’re fabulous! I actually ordered them in two sizes – I got my usual 10 and thought maybe they were a bit small so I ordered a 10.5. I’m going to test them out in the next few days on the treadmill and return the “wrong” size. Do you find Mizunos run smaller than other shoe brands?
Heidi Nicole says
I have those shoes sitting at the running store waiting for me to come check them out. I love my Wave Rider 13’s but its a toss up with the 15’s and Brooks’ Ghost 4’s.
The pink/red Mizuno 15’s definitely looked more red at IRL and the sales person said something about them being red because of the 15 and red and China…I should check Google, see what it has to say about this!
Athena @ Fitness & Feta says
My new Reeboks! Dark grey and lime green 🙂
Melissa @TryingtoHeal says
I have those shoes, but they’re turquoise! i love the colors! so vibrant!
Carly Power says
I love my mizuno shoes SO much – they’re not pink, but they changed the way I run (faster and further!). Love love love.
Adrienne says
So jealous! I’ve had my eye on those for a while. I have the bright blue Mizuno Elixir 6’s. I swear that fun running shoes make you go faster!
Tia says
I have black timbalands on right now lol! Rugged 😉 My nike running shoes are black and pink, I love em, but I need a bit bigger size I think 🙁
Run with Jess says
Love the new shoes!!!
I’m wearing black Asics Kayanos with hot pink shoelaces!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
Those are cute!
I love by turquoise Asics.
Suzanne says
Love the shoes!
Cheryl says
I love mizunos! My current shoes are brown (I’m at work) but I love lime green sneakers or really anything lime green 🙂
Rosa - Fitness Food Fulfilled says
I love those pink shoes! They are awesome!
I have two pairs of running shoes that I’m rotating, one is purple and one is red, two of my favorite colors. Love them!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
I got my black chucks on, but I did have my white,blue, and red asics on earlier. Hey, the pink life-changing Mizunos looks great on you! Happy running (and cooking).
~Jessica~ says
I would kill for some pink running shoes – those would fit my orthotics perfectly as well, as they’re just the type of shoe I am looking for. Sadly I don’t think Mizuno do that kind of shoe in the UK…I’m stuck with my boring white Asics 🙁

Losing Lindy says
Super CUTE! I love pink. I need high stability shoes so I have the Saucony Hurricanes
Beth (i run like a girl) says
I so rarely covet shoes…
But I WANT A PAIR.
I’ve been a Mizuno girl for years…
*sigh*
Maybe I’ll put those on my wishlist for Santa!
Jessica Washburn says
I love those shoes, wanted them when I saw them too but I need to wait until pay day. 🙂 I also just pulled out my cranberries to make sauce for tomorrow. Yum. Love the running pic of you too…looks so real. 😉 Oh, and I’m not wearing shoes at the moment. Jessica

Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
Pink is a good color on you! 😉
ashley says
You and I have very similar life long dreams. I’m not sure why no one has invented the solution to most of them yet. slackers!
Lindsey says
Black and green! I would LOVE pink shoes though!
Alaina says
In high school and college, I had a bright red Mazda Protege, manual. It was the best car ever! Definitely stood out in the school parking lot.
lauren says
Right now, right now? Brown – Tall zip-up Uggs. For running, I wear the Brooks Defyance 3 and they are silver/blue/dark purple. I’m procrastinating getting the Ghost 3, they come in purple! I need to hurry up and just order them before the 10s are out of stock for good. I think I’m hoping for a crazy sale or something.
Jules says
right now my shoes are grey with hot pink – Nike Pegasus GTX and I ran in the snow with them today and they ROCK.
However, super jealous of the Mizunos! Those are my fave shoes (although generally at least $30 more than Nikes which do their job fine…) and I am also crushing on the pink color!!!
Sara @my less serious life says
mizuno wave riders are my shoes! these are beautiful! i just got a new pair a few months ago and they are green. which is awesome. but, i am slightly jealous of yours i won’t lie…
Rebecca says
One of my best decisions ever was my neon orange Sauconys. They make me smile every time I lace them up 🙂
cathy@1970kikiproject says
purple!
i have four pairs of nike frees: purple (the ones i have on), orange (my favourite colour), neon pink and (boring) blue. i covet the lime with hot pink shoe laces that we currently sell where i work.
LOVE your mizunos. have not seen that colour combo! enjoy!!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Love your pink shoes! I’m wearing black boots because it’s cold in Chicago!
