Lock Laces Review & Workout Wednesday Link Up

I was very excited when I was sent some Lock Laces to try out for this review.  I had seen them, but didn't know anyone who had any to find out what they were like.  

Running without having to double-knot my laces, or having to stop and re-tie them multiple times during a run?  Sounds too good to be true!!
My laces are always coming untied, especially during trail runs.  I can double-knot them, but I really don't like doing that, so I usually end up having to re-tie my laces multiple times during a run. When do the laces come untied, usually during the muddiest sections of my run.  Yuk!  Muddy laces!
Well, no more.  I have found Lock Laces, and I love them!!  I will never have to tie my laces again, and never trip over untied laces during a run!

Lock Laces are easy to put in your shoes, you just follow the instructions on the package, and cut the laces to the length you need for your shoes, put the end on the laces and you're done. No more tying laces :)

I am a clutzy person by nature - if there is a doorknob for my purse to get caught on, it will, if there is a way for my seatbelt to get caught in the car door, it will...that is just me.  So, when I tried the Lock Laces on the trails that I run on, I was worried that the loops would get caught in branches, etc., but nope, I've been running with the Lock Laces for a couple of weeks, and even with the way things reach out to get caught on me, they haven't snagged a thing.  I am so very happy!!

Mezamashii Run Project & New Shoes

I was excited this morning when a delivery truck dropped off a package for me. Inside the package were my new Mizuno Wave Enigma running shoes.  I eagerly opened the box and a brand new pair of vibrant purple and blue shoes were revealed. No more boring white runners for me! 

Last week I entered a contest on Mizuno Run Club Canada's Facebook Page to be part of the Mezamashii Run Project  and receive a new pair of Mizuno running shoes.  To my surprise, I was one of the 5 winners!! 

These are awesome shoes.  For starters, they look awesome (love the bright purple!), and they feel great.  They have lots of support and feel cushiony when walking and running.  I have bad knees, so I need good shoes when I run. I used Mizuno's  Precision Fit Online Shoe Finder to help me chose the correct shoe for my foot, stride, size, etc.  They ask quite a few questions and use that information to suggest the correct shoes for you.  I must say, I am impressed.  I wouldn't have had any idea which shoe to pick if I hadn't used the online shoe finder. 

I have been off from running for over a year (due to an injury), but have recently started to run again.  Compared to my old runners, Asics, the Mizunos are a lot nicer to run in!  I love, love, love them!

                                    

Mizuno has created the  Mezamashii Run Project  to help runners experience a more brilliant run.  In fact, mezamashii means brilliant in Japanese.  They are giving out tons of new shoes so runners can experience their own brilliant run.  If you want a chance to win your own, go to  Mezamashii Run Project  to enter.

Good luck! 

I am excited to be a part of the  Mezamashii Run Project  from  Mizuno Run Club Canada.

Aren't these the coolest looking shoes?  I love the colour, but even better, I love how they fit and how they feel when I run!  

Thank you Mizuno & Mezamashii Run Project!! These will help me on my journey to getting fit & healthy!
