I have something very special to share with you today.
I haven’t told you about my new love in life.
Altra’s INTUITION running shoe is absolutely incredible.
Besides the fact that they are the cutest running shoes I own (I know that isn’t supposed to matter but it does for me) these babies are made SPECIFICIALLY for women (don’t worry men, you can enter the giveaway for the men’s INSTINCT).
A few of the reasons I am hooked on these babies:
1. They are drop zero (the heel and the forefoot are the same height from the ground). This helps to improve running technique = less running related injuries, um sign me up. These shoes have been proven to reduce heel strike and help your posture and alignment. (Please note that you should slowly build up your mileage in these because they are very different than your normal running shoe).
2. I feel cool in them. I didn’t have to tell you that one.
3. They have a wider toe box. Finally, my toes are able to spread out naturally with each foot strike without having to go up to a size 34. They are dang comfortable….be prepared to see me in these babies daily. I wonder if my job will allow me to wear these as part of my professional dress, they would look great with a dress. I think I counted and I have told BIlly that they are SO comfortable approximately 2,456,432 times.
4. They are made just for woman! I took this from their website:
Female Specific Shoes: Ladies – Finally a shoe designed specifically for you! No more dealing with ‘shrink-it-and-pink-it’ shoes! Altra™’s Female specific lasts account for a Woman’s narrower heel, smaller instep, longer arch, and different metatarsal positioning. This unique fit allows your foot to be more girl than any other running shoe on the market.
These shoes were designed by accomplished/elite runners that really know there stuff – people that I trust and are in the business to help you become the best runner you can be!

I run for stress relief, for fitness, and for fun!
I run because being an Army wife has been one of the most stressful things I’ve ever had to do. And, while I am more than happy to go through hell and then some for my husband, and I am insanely proud of him and his service, I need something that allows me to take a moment and breathe; especially since we are living overseas.
Running gives me that.

I run to feel good! Both physically and mentally
Running gives me the outlet I need to be a sane person
I run because I love it!!! I also run for my overall health, to spend time with friends, and to counteract my serious sweet tooth!!!
I run for sanity. Seriously, running is the best antidepressant ever.
I run to think, de stress and occasionally avoid crying. Only sometimes haha.
I run because it makes me feel good about myself. Its something that I can see improvement on and I can tell I’m getting better. I don’t love running but I do love races. I love pushing myself and the feeling of pride when I done.
I run because it makes me happy and makes me a better person to be around.
I posted a link to this giveaway on my most recent blog post: http://duckontherun.blogspot.com/2011/10/trying-to-figure-out-best-way-to.html
I run because it is like breathing to me. When I breathe easier, I live easier.
COOL giveaway, girlfriend!
I ru because nothing else makes me feel so alive!!
I run because it keeps me sane, makes me feel good inside and out, and because it’s the only athletic thing I am actually good at. I love that you can always push further/harder/faster and there are so many variations to running.
And it’s like belonging to a secret club!
I run because I want to be a runner. Because I want to live a healthy, active lifestyle, because I just decided to do my 1st marathon next year. I run for myself and for my goals and dreams.
I run because it’s fun, relaxing and the feeling afterward is unbeatable!!
Also, tweeted from Minnesota_Ann.
I run because I love it, it’s a stress reliever, and time to myself and for myself! It makes me a better wife and mommy! I’m hoping after a 6 month recovery from a stress fracture I can return to running in 2012! I miss it dearly! And will need new shoes to get started!
I run because I CAN. After years of undereating and not treating my body right, I am so grateful I am now healthy enough to run.
I run because I LOVE to run (as opposed to strength training, which I only do because I know it’s good for me), and I get crazy if I don’t get quite a few miles in every week – as does my husband, as my feet go very stirr crazy and keep moving on their own accord if they haven’t gotten to run lately.
I tweeted
I run because it can be done anywhere, is a great stress relief, and I love the way I feel afterward!
Ahhh these look amazing!! I run because it makes me feel strong, it makes me happy, and it is the perfect me time!

I run because it’s a part of who I am. I don’t know who I would be if I didn’t run. It’s a part of me and I love it!
I run to keep sane and to be healthy
I run because I would probably be mentally unstable otherwise.
To be happy:)
I run because it is the only time I get an hour to myself of peace and quiet.

I run for me…to clear my head, to make myself feel good, to make myself feel confident, for me time!
Great giveaway by the way! Thanks
I started running because it seemed like something impossible, so of course I had to prove myself wrong! Now I run because I am ridiculously addicted and can’t seem to get enough. It’s so fun to make goals and then meet them! The running community is just so awesome.. I could go on and on but I’ll just end with I run because I LOVE IT!!!!
I run because occasionally, after 437534653894750 runs that totally suckily suck, there’s just one run where I feel so, so alive and so high (not in a druggie way, I must add). Then its all worth it x
Do you lace all your shoes like that? I recently stumbled upon an article about different lacing techniques for various issues but I haven’t really tried they out.
I run because I’m addicted!
I run to keep myself stress-free, for time alone where it’s just me and the trail/road. I also like to run to remain addiction free and also b/c my legs are becoming quite awesome from doing so
lol
tweet tweet – great giveaway
The reason I run changes from day to day depending on what I need. Sometimes I run to remind myself that I can accomplish my goals. Sometimes I run to clear my head. Sometimes I run for that feeling right after a good run. Sometimes I just run because I can’t not run.
I also tweeted! Thanks for the giveaway && the awesome blog I have become addicted to!
I run to keep me sane.
I run because I live in the middle of Montana and I must train to stay faster than the BEARS!!!!!
Wider toe boxes are a must for me!!
I run because I love it, it makes me feel strong and clears my mind. Running is my therapy
I run to clear my mind and for fitness!
OOOH! Thanks for the review! I’m in need of new running shoes thanks to my dog!
I run because I love it! <– Can't believe I can actually say that!
Amazing giveaway!!!! Hmmm this could be a very long answer!! I run for so many reasons but my main reason is because it keeps me centered and focused and it makes me happy!! I also run because it time for just me! Thanks janae!
Why do I run? That is a great question! I “run” (albeit slow and not very far) to challenge my fitness levels. To get in even better shape. To one day out run my husband (probably will never happen, but a girl can dream!).
I run because it makes me feel good! Plus, my dog is locked in a cage all day and loves when I get home and take her for a run!
I run because it’s my “me” time. It gets me out of the house away from the job, husband, kids and everything else that pulls at me. It’s just me and the pavement.
I run because it relieves stress and gives me an amazing feeling of accomplishment. I always love when I conquer a new distance!
I run for “me” time and it helps with stress
neato shoes!!! i’d love to try these – we don’t sell them at my running store!
i run because it’s thinking time, it’s rhythmic, it’s a hobby i’ve done for 22 years, and most of all, it’s FUN!!!
thanks for the giveaway, janae!
I put this AWESOME giveaway on my FB page! Thanks for sharing Janae!!
I’m new to running, so my reasons why I do it are constantly changing! It started because I love to bike and decided I needed to be an Ironman before I turn 30. I hated it at first! But now I look forward to Sunday morning long runs. I love the feeling of accomplishment after each goal is met. It also helps me put and keep my life in perspective.
I run simply because it clears my head and allows me to stay calm and reminds me that I am strong and can achieve anything
I run for so many reasons…to relieve stress, to feel strong and confident, to train and also for pleasure!
I run because I’m not a nice person when I don’t
I tweeted
I run because its an attainable goal that I can reach every day! It makes me feel good and literally is my therapy. (I tweeted this too!!
)
I run because it makes me feel amazing, free, and helps clear any major stress I have going on
I run so I can eat and not have to wear a tent.
The Kidless Kronicles
I run because it literally is my sanity. It has been the only constant thing in my life for the past 10 years…dealing with my parents divorce, moving about 7 million times, and now going through nursing school…without it I’d probably have gone crazy a LONG time ago ( :
I run becuase it’s hard and makes me SWEAT.
I run or causes… (breast cancers, autism, etc) and to help motivate my members that they can do it!
I run — because I can! I specifically started running more this year as my husband & I moved to the south and didn’t want to spend money on a gym membership! Outdoors for me!
I run because it makes me feel good, it’s my “me” time, and to help me stay healthy!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
I run because it makes me feel good about myself, my body and also helps with those stressful days!
I tweeted about your giveaway!
I run because of how I feel after a good run!
I run to stay healthy & in shape.
I started to run to lose weight and get in shape. Now I run because I love it! I love the sweat, the intense training for distance racing, I love endorphins and most importantly, I love that I can share the love of running with my dad! We run together all the time!
I run because it is that time in the day that is totally for me – to think, to reflect, pray or even talk to myself (haha!!)

I run because I can! It feels good and I can’t stop. In insanity that keeps me sane!
I feel strong, confident, determined and free when I run! Janae – I remember before you saying you wanted to do a post about why minimalist shoes weren’t for you. Is that still in the works? I’m curious about your take on them.
I run for my health and to prove to myself I can do anything.
I tweeted!
I run because I beat cancer this year (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) and I’ll never take my health for granted again! I used to run to burn calories and because I felt like I HAD to. After going through treatment I realized how important exercise is for HEALTH and not for vanity. I spent three weeks in the hospital in February, I could barely stand or walk back then. Just this past weekend I went jogging right past that same hospital only months later feeling strong, empowered, and healthy. I just wanted to share that with everyone…do not take the strength and capabilities of your body for granted
I run because it’s the one thing that I selfishly do for myself. It’s something I love to do and wont apologize for spending time, money and energy doing it!
Why I run? For all the reasons you’re going to get on your millions of comments you get for this post. Because running is who I am.
i run because i love to be outside, i love to have a goal, and i like the feeling of knowing i’ve got ‘my thing’ that i can escape to any time i want
Posting on my blog
I run to feel good about myself and (if I can get up early enough!) to start my day off right.
I started running exactly one year ago because I want to stay healthy and increase my chances of seeing my children grow up into beautiful adults. After turning 40 I realized that I can’t take my health for granted. Now I love running and am training for a full marathon! PS I’m a newbue to your blog and really enjoy your daily posts so thanks!
I run to stay healthy and have fun
I run because of the freedom it gives me! I love being able to take that time to celebrate all the ways God has blessed me in my life
.
I run for: the sense of accomplishment, the stress relief, the time by myself, and to keep my body moving!!!!
I run b/c it puts a smile on my face and so I can eat what I want! I love the blue shoes
I run because I LOVE it! I run because it helps me relieve stress. It helps me cope with my depression and anxiety and I feel like it is something I am good at.
Umm injury reducing shoes? Yes please! I run above all because I can…not putting the legs I’ve been blessed with to waste!
i run for that amazing feeling after setting a PR/PDR… there is nothing else like it!
I run because it is MY time. I run because I like how I feel after the run and I run to set an example of healthy living to my son. Just signed up for my 3rd marathon 5 minutes ago…..hopefully this will be my first one without an injury!
Cute shoes! I want!
I run because nothing else in the world compares to that feeling. Even when it’s hard (and it often is!) when I am out there, there is nothing in the world I’d rather be doing.
I also tweeted about it (singlentri_ing) and I posted about it on my blog at http://arasweightloss.blogspot.com
I’ve seen these shoes and was so curious about them!!!
I run for many reasons. One huge one is that I have some chronic health issues (I have 2 autoimmune diseases). Running both helps me manage my symptoms and also assures me that I DO have SOME control over what happens to my body!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I Tweeted.
Thanks again.
I run because I love the endorphins is gives me and it is something my dad and i do together!
Ooh, I found a way to get around the fact that your website doesn’t like my home ip address…(enter blogging at work) Go me!
Anyways, I run to counteract all of the crap I eat. I love food.
Two words, and two words only… Runner’s high…
I run so that I can eat pumpkin bread!

i also tweeted about your giveaway!! @carriebjames
I run to challenge myself in ways I didn’t think I could!
I run for ME time!
I started running at age 30 after the birth of my second child, who has special needs. Running helped me cope and give me strength to be the kind of mother my daughters deserve. In 4 years I have run 5 marathons, including Boston, and am hoping to break 3:15 next weekend.
I run because I love the way it makes me feel….. puts me in a great mood and keeps me sane!
Awesome giveaway! I run because I love how strong it makes me feel, and how it allows me to just have “me” time.
I run because… well, I’d be lost without it.
I’m addicted! And I run so I can eat. A lot. Duh. 
WHAT A FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY. I love you for it.
I run, because I want to live a fit and healthy life. However, I’m a not a “great” runner yet. I just decided to start a couch to 5K program to work up my running endurance.
AND I just tweeted! xoxo
i run because it maintains my weight, makes my legs super pretty and keeps me up in the exercise world.
just tweeted your giveaway!
I’m new to the running world, very new… So for now, I run to get in shape and because it’s free. I don’t have the money to pay for a gym membership, but I can run on my treadmill or outside. It’s a goal to help me get healthy.
I don’t run often, but when I do I run with a friend, so I run to catch up with friends and have a healthy, fun outing. I’d love these shoes for all the fitness classes I take too though!
Also I am about to tweet your giveaway!
I run to keep sane!
I run because my body allows me to do so. I run for those who can’t (my father became disable 6 years ago and LOVED to walk/jog everyday). I run for stress relief. I run for that runner’s high. I run for health.
I run because it’s challenging, fun, and is one of the only sports I can do since it doesn’t involve catching. (I have zero coordination).
I started running not all that long ago….and I’m hooked! Running makes me feel strong. I’m even running my first 5k this weekend!
I run because no matter how in shape I am, it is challenging.
I run because it makes me feel free!
This is so exciting! I run because it keeps me healthy and happy! It gives me something I can challenge myself with and keep working on to get better.
I run because I feel better about talking/singing to myself when I’m moving faster than the people giving me weirdo stares…
I run to compete with my spouse!
It’s been tweeted about!
I tweeted too!
I run to stay in shape and to constantly challenge myself to achieve a goal of either a longer distance or a new PR.
i think the better question is what do i NOT run for? its me time, its stress relief, its healthy, its beneficial, its think time, its blowoffsteamtime, its a way to make friends, its a way to be part of something, its a way to feel accomplished each and every day. I LOVE TO RUN!
I run for longterm fitness and for fun!
I run because it gives me something concrete to strive for!
Just linked to your give away in today’s blog post.
I tweeted toooo!!
I run because it makes me feel GOOD about myself. It gives me goals- I do races because I am competitive with myself, and I like having something to strive for.
I run for the joy of it, the runners high, the fitness, and the enjoyment of nature as I run through the land.
tweeted!
I run to clear my head!
Hey, girl! I initially started running to relieve a lot of stress going on in my life. Now I run just to get that runner’s high, and I feel like I could keep going on forever. I feel amazing after.
I run because of the rush I get and how I feel when I’m done!!
I need new, PROPER running shoes so badly! I’ve never shopped for shoes with anything but the aesthetic characteristics on my mind. Since I have started running, my feet can definitely tell!
I run because it makes me healthier, both mentally and physically!
Just posted
http://runrural.blogspot.com/2011/10/altra-intuition-running-shoe.html
I tweeted, yo.
I run for fitness and my sanity!
So many reasons why I run! I love it, it’s good for clearing my head, it makes me feel healthy, so I can eat my mom’s homemade cookies, I like the pain, so I can get faster!
I run to get into shape!
I run because I love it. There is nothing more satisfying than a good run…especially when its outdoors in this crisp fall air!
ahhh so many different reasons why I run…biggest reason is because it makes me truly happy!
I run to get away from it all… kids, work stress, sinks full of dishes
It relaxes me and with cute little shoes like that I may never come back to it all ….
I run for many reasons: because I can, because it relieves stress, because it pushes me to reach new goals, and more!
I tweeted about the giveaway Janae!!
I run for the feeling afterward! It’s always tough for me to get out there but the feeling of accomplishment once I do is unbeatable!
I run just because it makes me feel good – the sense of accomplishment is enough.
I run because it makes me feel strong and powerful! And it relieves stress, feels good, gets me away from work for an hour…And…good legs and butt! (at least pre-preggo)
i run so i can eat mass amounts of pizza and ice cream – and drink lots and lots of wine.
This is amazing! I need new running shoes so badly!
I run mainly because of the way it makes me feel AFTERWARDS. I love having that sense of accomplishment
I run because simply I LOVE RUNNING! In high school, I played three sports: tennis, basketball, and track. What made me good at each of these was the ability to run, and to run for a loooooong time. It wasn’t until after college that I started doing races. I was hooked when I placed in my first race! : ) There is something so fulfilling about pushing yourself past a limit you or someone else never thought you could reach. Endorphins are AWESOME! : )
I run because I feel like nothing else matters beside me and the scenery around me. It identifies me as a person and wouldn’t change that!
@morgancugell…I just tweeted about it! and to add to Kim K’s comment…yes, the wine and pizza part is another huge motivation to run!
i run to feel good about myself and for my mental health and because i love it!!! i have to try these shoes- a wider space for my toes is mandatory!!
I run for many reasons but most of all it makes me feel so much better about myself
I run because I’ve always been the person to look at a runner and say “gosh I wish I could run like that.” walking got boring so I tried the next best thing! And now I’m training for my first half marathon!!
I tweeted!!
I run because its relaxing. I’m able to have my own time to just think. I also love that I can make it as challenging as I want!
Just tweeted about the giveaway!
I run (or try to run) because for a very long time I did not and than could not. Now that I can I want to. I need to make life changes. After a bad knee injury kept me on the couch- I want to be doing things!!!
I run because I go CRAZY if I don’t!
I run to relieve stress — it makes me a much better mommy!
I tweeted about the giveaway!!!!
Running is a part of who I am. I love how it makes me feel!
I run for me! It allows me to do something just for me, to be healthy and confident and to help maintain a healthy weight! A friend and I have both become addicted on running races – since April we’ve done about 15 diff races (5k’s, 10k’s, 8k and even a 7 mile). Next spring I have a half marathon in my plans!
And I absolutely love new shoes! My husband thinks I have a shoe problem! My fave color right now is purple!
I run because I love it! It is my ME time. Also, I love competing with myself!
I run because it feels good after!!!
I cannot tell a lie… I run so that I can eat more.
I run because every time I hit the pavement I get to push myself and I always learn something new about me. It’s amazing!
Those are the cutest shoes! I began running so that I had an activity I could do with my dad, who is a long time runner. Now I run to bond with my dad, stress relief and a great workout!
I run because I just love it. And also because I love chocolate. Plus, other runners are the best kind of people!!
I run for a lot of reasons. I run because of the endorphins, the mental and physical challenge, the stress relief, the health benefits, the ability to get lost in something bigger than myself, to connect with friends while doing something good for us, to be more confident, to be a good and healthy role model to my family, friends (and soon to be baby), the list can go on and on.

I run because I can! I didnt start until a few years ago and now I love it. It challenges me and makes me feel great!
I run to stay sane!
I also tweeted the giveaway…show me the shoes
I run because on the days I can run for miles and miles, it’s the best feeling in the world.
I’m a beginner runner and I’m officially addicted! I’m training for my first half marathon and I’m loving it.
I run because:
1) I miss competitive field hockey and being GOOD at something
2) I LOVE having a goal and accomplishing it
3) It’s fulfilling!
I run to feel strong and have confidence in myself. I run to stay fit and to clear my head.
I am trying to overcome a hip flexor strain currently and would love some new shoes to slowly increase my milage in when I can start running again soon!
Blogged/tweeted on facebook, link above
to share with friends. I run because I was an injury-prone figure skater and had to quit competing, but wanted to stay in shape. Now I am an injury-prone runner, still trying to get to that half marathon 
Why is it that I think of new reasons that I run each time I answer this question? There are so many reasons…I guess it’s pretty much the same answer as why I breathe or eat or sleep…running is just part of what helps me live.
I run because it makes me feel strong and awesome.
Awesome giveaway Janae!!
I run for “Me Time” it’s my time to just getaway and think. It’s also pretty awesome that I can now run a marathon

I run for a sense of being and accomplishment…whether it is 2 miles or 20, I always feel so rewarded post-run that I am able to get out there!
I run to push myself and show that I can meet my goals!
I run to stay healthy and happy. Please pick me!
I run because it makes me feel strong, empowered, and in control!!
I love to run because it makes me feel happy, healthy and strong!

I also just tweeted the giveaway – these footsies need new bling!
I don’t have a Twitter, but I told my friends on FB about it!!
I run because it helps me feel great, and I can eat more ice cream!
I tweeted about this giveaway!
I run because it makes me feel good!!!
I run for a sense of accomplishment!
I tweeted this!
I run because it helps me focus and gives me a sense of accomplishment! Also I am now addicted to endorphins, and I don’t think I will ever be able to cut myself off.
I also added this giveaway up on the blog – hope to win, these are so cool…probably because you are the one wearing them…but still cool!
I run for me.
It’s the one time of day where I’m not working to help an employer, a friend, a coworker, or anyone else. I escape from everything in normal life and run for myself.
i tweeted about this giveaway!
You are so funny
Yes, you totally could wear them with a dress 
Why I run: because I can. I know that sounds kind of stupid, but with my issue with Crohn’s, it makes me value every SECOND I have to run. (before running to the bathroom- lol!! sorry, tmi!) But it really has put it all into perspective.
i love that they have a bigger toe box. constantly getting blisters between my toes.
I run because no one ever thought I would. I had ACL surgery in 2006 and everyone told me that I’d never be able to run without pain, that I’d never run long distances. Seven half marathons, one marathon, and one overnight relay later – I am a runner. I’m just coming back from my second knee surgery (torn meniscus) and I have never been so happy to run 3.5 miles.
I posted a link and mentioned it in my blog http://hesitantrunner.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/juicing/
Awesome giveaway!! I run because it makes me feel good about myself… Running helps build my confidence and and helps me feel accomplished… I run because some days it is hard and at the end of it I feel like I can conquer anything!
I run because it makes me feel so good ~ I have such a sense of pride and accomplishment when I finish a run. I love the worn out feeling when I’ve run hard. I love the compliments from strangers on the trail – best/strangest one yet: “You look like a gazelle running so consistently.” I love the way I can measure my progress with the clock and the age group medals on my wall! runner_girl5k at yahoo dot com
I tweeted!!
I run to be happy:)
I run because its challenging, I can focus my energy on moving my legs forward and my mind on the run. I just think about my legs, feet, breath, heart beat and it clears my head and gets me focused on the challenge. There is always the ability to do better either to run a bit further, or faster and I like a challenge. But, even on those days when I don’t want to be challenged, a run just makes me feel good by the time I’m done. It brightens my mood, gives me energy for the rest of the day or allows me to rest better at night. Aaah running.
I run because it makes me happy.
And I need new sneakers!
I posted about your giveaway on my blog, too! http://merbear.net/2011/10/05/could-it-be-the-hunger-monster/
I run to challenge myself! And to never stop surprising myself!
I run to enjoy the weather (when it’s nice out) and stay in shape.
I run because running is cheaper then therapy.
And because I LOVE that runner’s high! Oh…and so my butt looks good!
I tweeted it!!
I run because I love the way it makes me feel. I love how I can zone out during the run and then enjoy the exhaustion afterward. I also love the camraderie of running with friends!
I run to stay sane. And because it’s fun.
I run for my sanity and because it makes me a better mommy and teacher!
I run to lose the extra weight and to start my day off with some fresh air and good company!
Running has changed my life – that’s why I run! I could SO use these shoes as I am currently fighting achilles tendonitis…with a marathon 4 days away.
I run because I LOVE it!!!!
I’ve been wanting to try a pair of Altras since they came out–great giveaway! I run for ME!
Running makes my body stronger, my minder clearer. . .it allows me that “me time” I need to be a better Mom!
I run for the great feeling afterwards!
At first, I started running to lose weight. Now I’ve lost 72 pounds, 8 lbs away from my goal and now I run because I love it. I love the feeling of accomplishment after a run, I love being outside and seeing all the leaves changing, and I love the energy buzz I have all day from a hard run in the morning. Nothing beats that high!
I run to relieve stress and to build a strong body!
I run…. Because it make me feel good.
I tweeted the giveaway! @wealths_health

To prove to myself that I can.
AH! I would absolutely love to win these — my feet have been in a lot of pain lately, post run!
I run because I never thought I could
Running empowers me <3
Why do i run? How long do u have!!? I run because I can! I run for therapy, I run for peace, I run for the push it is on my bOdy! Nothing works me harder than running!
I run to stay sane
I dont tweet, but I blogged about it!
I could use a new pair of running shoes, mine are a little wore out! I used to not like running, it was a chore, but after I had my daughter it’s theraputic!! It lets me jam to my music and just be away from it all for a while and before I know it I’ve already run 5 miles!! LOL
I love to run for many reasons. I like the challenge of pushing my body to perform. But mostly I like how I feel after a good run. It helps my body, mind and soul and keeps me in shape.
Running is my “me” time.
I also tweeted about the giveaway @tabbykaye.
I run so I can EAT!
Just what I need..new awesome shoes! I run for my sanity! With three kids, a military husband with a crazy schedule, college work, and volunteer work..running is the one thing I can control! It’s the time on my treadmill or the time outside where I control the speed, the fun, and the outcome!!
I run because it is a free self-esteem booster! It’s so empowering!!
Blogged! http://peargallery.com/2011/10/05/the-hungry-runner-girl/
I run to stay healthy and to be a good example for my kids.
I run b/c it’s something that doesn’t come easily for me, and I always have to work hard to improve.
I run to turn off my brain. As a chemistry PhD candidate, sometimes (always…) it’s really hard to get away from thinking about work. Running is the only place I really stop thinking about graduation and instead think about breathing, how my foot is hitting the ground, and how funny seeing a girl sing along to her iPod while running must look.
I run because its an accomplishment outside of work, of which I do far too much!
Awesome giveaway! I run to clear my head after a long day.
To have something to work towards.
I run because it helps me clear my head and makes me feel better about myself. I feel like it’s my time to have to myself, which I love
I run for weight loss. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m starting to like it more. It’s still a work in progress for me to actually enjoy it though…I’m trying! New shoes would probably help that!
I run because I’m a giant cranky pants when I don’t.
Oh, and I absolutely adore it.
I run because I can, I have the ability too and I feel blessed. There are many people out there who can’t because of disabilities, including my father, and I want to use my body that God gave me and running helps me remember to be thankful for what I’ve got.
I run because it’s cheaper than therapy, and it’s my “me” time. I get to zone out from life for a little while when I have my running shoes on
A lot of people have been asking me why I run lately, especially since I ran my first marathon on Saturday!! I run because I love the way my body feels when I push it as hard as I can.
I run for me. My sanity. My health.
I run because I can. I run because I have something to prove to myself. I run to stay in shape. I run to meet friends. I run to clear my head. I run to have an excuse to buy new running gear. I run because sometimes I can’t sit still. I run because sometimes I sit still too much. I run because I like to drink good beer. I run to inspire myself. I run to challenge myself. I run to BE myself.
I run for my health, my fitness, my mind, and now for my club
I tweeted about your giveaway.
P.s. The shoes are super cute!
I run for stress! Otherwise I’d drive people crazy (and myself)
Love them!
I run for stress relief, to stay healthy and to look good!
I tweeted!
Wow! I run to feel like I am moving faster and getting more done. Running takes the stress away, especially when going to school. I didn’t start loving running until I needed something to take my mind off of school! lol
I run for physical (& mental!) health and also currently as training for my 1st half-marathon next month!
I love running because it’s my time to daydream and be in my own world – especially with some great playlists. It keeps me healthy and sane
I run to lose weight & have a daily “therapy” session.
I run, because it relieves stress, makes me feel good, and gives me an excuse to buy lots of shoes and colorful clothes!

That and I have fun running further than I ever have before.
I run because it makes me happy! I am 9 mos. pregnant right now and miss running more than I thought I ever could…
I run for frozen yogurt! That, and because I love to push myself beyond what I think I can do!
I run because I love it! I always feel so accomplished after and there is no problem a good run cant help me work out.
I run BECAUSE I CAN! <3
Those shoes look amazing! If I don’t win I may have to go try them out…
I run to push myself and to see what I am capable of. I love the feeling of letting everything go and the medetation of a great run. And most of all I run for the endorphins
I run because I love the time to myself to think… I love how I feel after, and I currently am training for my first marathon!
I run to relieve stress and beacause I always feel like a superstar afterwards!
I run because of the sense of accomplishment when it’s over!
I run to prove to myself that I can be successful at something I’m not naturally good at. I also run for my sanity!
It’s harder for me to name a reason why I don’t run! The freedom that running provides my mind, the alone time (or friend time, just depends), the physical effort required. I love it.
I run because I can. I’m not good at it, but it’s something I can do for me, and it requires little preparation, equipment and skill.
By the way, I SO want to win these shoes. Alta had a booth at the Utah Valley Marathon Expo and I got a chance to look at their designs (but the running shoes are new) and I think they are a great company. I would love to proudly sport their products.
I run because it’s the only me time I get with 2 girls under 3. I need that stress release and alone time!
I run because it makes me feel proud!!!!!
I run because I want to live a long and healthy life. Cool giveaway– I’ve never heard of these shoes but they look awesome!
I run because I love it. It helps clear my head an dalways puts me in a better mood!
I run for fitness. I run because, after a long run, I can look back and actually be impressed with something I’ve done. I run because people think it’s crazy.
Posted on my blog!
I started running to keep my family related heart disease away but I kept running because I love how free it makes me feel!! I also think these shoes are just TOO cute!
Honestly, I run because it’s something I’m naturally not good at AT ALL, it takes a while before I actually enjoy the fact that I’m running and can stop thinking about everything. But, the final few minutes and the feelings of accomplishment throughout the rest of the day make it totally worth it!
I run because I can. It makes me feel awesome and limitless. Love the look of those shoes, this summer I invested in Newtons which also are designed to not have a heel lift.
I am learning to run for me. That’s a hard one. I run so my children see that taking care of yourself is a priority. I run for my husband-it’s something he loves
.
I run because I am isolated in the suburbs with three boys. If I didn’t run, I would simply sit in a chair and stare out the window.
I too am a newbie, but love the feel of endorphins that exercise gives you. You feel like you can take on the world, even if it means just making your family dinner and doing their laundry. When I feel better about myself, my day goes much better!
I just tweeted re: the shoe give away!
I run to be healthy, because I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment I get when its over, and number one because I like to eat WAY TOO MUCH not to be active!
I run because I’m trying to get in shape and lose weight.
I tweeted about it. You can see it from my blog page.

It also just makes me feel so much better about myself when I have been active that day and know that I’ve done something good for my body.
I tweeted! (@Smertz7)
I run because I have 6 children, and as much I adore these little people…running is my much needed release.
I run because it makes me feel strong, and you can (almost) do it anywhere!
Two words: STRESS RELIEF!!!
I’m currently injured with stress fracture in my heel and have to give up my cushy corral assignment in the Chicago Marathon this year. It’s devistating, but reading your blog has definitely helped me cope! I cannot wait to get back some 12 and 8 mile runs though! I’m so jealous!

I run for physical and mental health! Now that I have a baby I love taking her with me too, it’s pure joy!
I run to keep my sanity. With a full time job, a kid, and all of the other grown up responsibilities, I need it. It is the one time of the day when I am doing something I really want to do for myself.
I run to be fearless.
To save my fingernails! Or to lessen my anxiety and stress…same difference.
I run for my health, my mood, and for the sheer joy of it.
I run becuase it makes me feel great. Relieve stress, time to think, get motived.. give me energy! It is just an awesome feeling.

I run because I LOVE it!
I run because I feel alive when I do… Like it was something the God meant for me to do!

Tweeted! @SD_surferGirl
I run because it is an old hobby that I want to start up again.
I run because I can transform into a better me. I take that time and focus on me. The longer the run the more “me” time. I started running for a healthier life style and now I keep it going for mental health. It’s a win-win!
Running is a privilege. I run because the ability is a gift and I can. Plus, as a bonus, it keeps me sane (somewhat)!
They ARE pretty! Enjoy!
I love to run to destress, to let go of the 1,000 things going on in my head and finding ME time. I have really learned to enjoy running-not worrying about how fast or far I am going, but just enjoying it as I am in it. Oh, and that calorie burner thing is a great reason too!
I run because it makes me feel free and is the only time of the day I feel like I have all to myself.
I tweeted.

I run to improve myself, for health and mental clarity.
And above all else, the ability to eat Nutella with no guilt.
I run because, running makes me feel accomplished.
and I tweeted!
I run because it makes me happy!
I blogged about this on my blog
I just started running to help lose the weight I put on during pregnancy.
Why I run:
My job is stressful and I work even when I am not at work. Running is ME time. I can think, clear my head, work up a sweat, etc. ALSO, I am not a “natural” runner. I love the fact that if I put my mind to it…I can do it. One foot in front of the other. Just keep running. I still cry every time I cross a finish line because I feel strong and totally impressed with myself!
I run because it is one of the only times I feel totally free, is great “me” time, and allows me to either zone out or take time to reflect! Hopefully I will be able run again soon
Great giveaway!!!
I tweeted!
I love to run because its a great stress releaser and a time to be just by myself!
tweeted (@LaughOutLilly)
I run because I can! I mean seriously who can wake up in the morning and decide to run 10 miles just because they can? Not everyone that’s for sure. Its a great sense of accomplishment.
I run for a lot of reasons: to stay fit, to get out of the house, and to relax. Running keeps me sane!
Hmmm…didn’t post.
I run because it makes me feel strong!
I tweeted.
I have a desk job, so I run to stay in shape, destress and keep my sanity!
I run because I love the incredible feeling it gives!!!
I run because it reminds me of how strong I am as a woman! It’s extremely empowering and rewarding, all while getting me in shape and being able to enjoy myself (especially on trail runs
).

CUTE shoes!
i love running because it helps me clear my mind at the end of the work day, its really great for my overall health and fitness, and i get to spend some quality time with my pooches (ie my running buddies).
tweeted (@hungry4living)
Why do I run? I run because I can’t imagine life without it. I run to celebrate the healthy body God gave me, I run to maintain peace of mind, I run to feel accomplished and fit, I run in an effort to keep my heart and insides healthy so that I can be with my loved ones for as long as possible, and I run because it is FUN and it is my PASSION!

I tweeted!
I could use some new shoes.. the hubs won’t let me buy new ones till christmas.. boo. I love to run because I crave that high I get after a long run! I just posted about all the reasons I run on my blog! bodyofamother.com
I run because I have a place in the 2012 London Marathon, and also because I love it again
I run for stress RELIEF!! Its amazing how much better i feel after a nice run. it helps me re-group and re energize. running is also my “me” time – which i need from time to time!

Like everyone else, I run for stress relief. It’s also nice to get outside, be alone, clear my head. My boyfriend runs too, so I took up the hobby so we would have another physical activity to do together.
I tweeted about the giveaway!
I run because it makes me feel strong and happy.
I run because it makes me ME!
i run to test (and break) my boundaries and to relieve stress
I run because it’s hard!!! It is my ultimate challenge, so I know accomplishing any run is hard-earned growth.
I run because I love the feeling of walking out the door on a beautiful morning like today, to watch the sun rise over the mountain and to continue challenging myself on a daily basis.
Also, because I need to keep myself sane and I love to eat
I run because it’s the closest I can get to flying. And so I can wear cute shoes. (just kidding, that’s a joke. I personally don’t think ANY running shoes are cute.)
pllleaaase, random number generator….pick me! me!
I run because it makes me feel good. I can have the worst day ever and get home from work, leash up my dog and go for a long run to clear my head. It sets me free from all the negativity in the world.
I run because it is something that I never was good at when I was little. So many of the people I went to High school with who were athletes are not, umm…to put this lightly, not so much athletes anymore. I am making it my mission to not be that way AND to be a good example to my 2 girls. They both tell me to have a good run and my 4.5 year old LOVES to run and has run 1 race and can’t wait to race more!
tweeted here https://twitter.com/#!/ihatetreadmill
I run so I can eat……
I used to run to keep myself in shape and because the Navy told me I had too. Now I run because it makes me happy
I run because it makes me feel like a stronger person…physically and mentally! Being in college, sometimes it’s the only time I have to myself and I love every minute of it!
I run because it makes me feel good, inside and out! Aaaaand because it is a great way to reduce stress
I run to clear my head and sometimes when you are pushing yourself really hard to finish, you can’t tell the tears from the sweat. Running never gives up on me, its always there just in case. Running is a good excuse to get from Point A to Point B and be allowed to wear shorts and a mismatch tee shirt. I also run so I can eat lots of carbs (more potatoes please!)!
I first ran to lose weight. Now I run to get faster!
I run to feel accomplished and healthy!!…but I can’t right now because of… a running related injury! Looks like I need me some new shoes
I tweeted your giveaway:)
I run because of the rush that I get by going fast on my own power. I’ve done other endurance sports like biking and swimming, but neither gives me the same thrill. Thanks for the giveaway!
I run for the sense of achievement. I love setting goals for each run, pushing myself (read: hating & cussing at myself), and then feeling awesome afterward for doing my best
So I started running to tone up but in the end I just enjoy that it gives structure to my life. It helps me keep what’s important and take out what isn’t, on pretty much all levels.
I also shared via twitter
I added your giveaway to my blog:)
I run to surprise myself each day with what I can accomplish.
I just blogged about it!

I run for me. Running makes me happy and feel free
I run for “me time” & to keep myself sane with stress from work/life, etc.
Plus knowing that I am doing something that is good for my health is always a plus.

I run for stress relief and to satisfy my endorphin addiction!
I run for me! A) It keeps me strong and healthy. B) It’s a stress reliever for me and a chance to escape from reality. C) It helps improve my self esteem, I have used running to get through hard times in my life. I love it!
I run because I love my new Garmin!
Hello Beautiful. I run to be more like YOU.
I also run because it is free entertainment (for those who see me) and free exercise for me. No $40 gym pass required. 
I blogged about the giveaway here… http://www.grahamgab.blogspot.com I THINK I SHOULD PROBABLY WIN. My huge bunionated toes need these wider toe boxes!! PLEASE!! Help a size 10 footed sista out!
I run to keep me sane and healthy!
Great giveaway! I run to clear my head. I don’t run with music and I try to enjoy the scenary even if it’s just neighborhoods. I try to plan out my day during my runs since it’s my only time to myself – no screaming kids! Thanks for your awesome posts!
I run to keep me sane and also in shape!
I found out a year ago this month that I can’t have any children of my own. Up to this point, I had been putting off losing weight because I thought that getting pregnant would just wreck my body anyway and that it would be a waste of my time to loose weight beforehand. Since getting this life-altering news I have joined a gym and am working on C25K for the second time (first time resulted in a knee injury). So that’s why I run, to move forward, grieve in my own way, and loose the baby weight that I will never have.
I run so I can outrun my lazy friends when the zombie apocalypse happens.
I run for my sanity and for the fun!
Two things:
1. I spelled lose wrong in my last post every time I used the word…awesome
2. I tweeted about your giveaway (http://twitter.com/dammitkatherine)
I run because it’s “me time” and I love how it makes me feel. I have two baby girls and that keeps me very busy, so I need my running time to unwind.
I run because it leaves me with a feeling of accomplishment no other physical activity provides!
i run for so many reasons – for exercise, for sanity, for me time, for fitness…and i love it!
i run for my sanity and to be a better person to others. it helps me focus and brings out more positive energy. there’s no problem i can’t solve when running
I run because it makes me feel like a better person & I can eat everything I want!
I usually joke that I run because it justifies my relaxed wardrobe, but really (lately at least) I run because it frees me. It’s the only time I don’t have to worry or stress about what comes next. It’s just me and the road.
Tweeted!
I run to see how far I can push myself, for fun, and to alleviate stress!!

I run for HEALTH! I began running about 2 years ago after a family member was diagnosed with cancer. While exercise of course doesn’t prevent cancer, I wanted to improve my overall health both for myself and for my family.
I run to enjoy life! — for the long haul.
I’m trying to start running because I hear so many great things about it. These shoes would be a great start!
I run for some “me” time!
I love those shoes!
At first I ran to maintain my weight and though that still is one of the perks, the main reason I run is how it makes me feel mentally. It makes me feel great all day long and even though its hard to get my butt on the treadmill every morning, its the best way to start my day. My family can usually tell when I haven’t run for a few days, cause I start to get cranky!
I run because it’s joyous to continue to do things I previously thought my body wasn’t capable of (like run a 1:30 half marathon) and for the lifelong friendships I have gained with my teammates/running partners!
I run to clear my head. It’s my time out of the day to forget about everything I have to do and just escape for a little while.
I run for the high, and it’s cheaper than therapy!
I run to prove everyone wrong! I am not a natural athlete, but I try!!
I tweeted!!
I definitely run for the challenge…especially taking on marathons or ultras….I run to get out of life for a while , and I run to stay fit for my kids and to set a good example for them on determination, not giving up and taking hold of God’s blessings in our lives!
When I run, it’s the only time of day when I can relieve stress, clear my head, and just enjoy the beauty around me!
i definitely run for the challenge, especially when taking on marathons or ultras… i run to get out of life for a while and I run to stay fit for my kids and set a good example of determination, not giving up and taking advantage of God’s blessings in our lives!
I run because it helps control stress, empowers me, gets me focused and centered for the day, allows “me time”, and gives me a calm place for praying every morning. The fact that I don’t really have to worry about what I eat is also kind of nice… haha.
i run because i love it. and it keeps me fit
I tweeted about the giveaway
for a burst of energy and uplift that you need some days.
I run to stay sane and thin! When I’m having a horrible day I run the stress away
i run for cardio and stress relief!
I run for ME. To accomplish something, to feel good about myself, to set an example for my kids.
I run because my oldest sister was (and still is!) a fantastic track and field athlete. She ran for Penn State and then she started running marathons. Just like any good little sister, I copy everything she does!
I run to help me be a happier, more patient, and energetic mom/wife!
I run for a million reasons but here are a few
Stress reduction, endorphin addiction, fitness, health, fun, to explore new areas, to see neighborhoods in different ways, to be active with my bf, to get medals in races 
The list goes on and on!
I just tweeted about your giveaway!
I run to stay fit, stay sane, and do races with my dad!
I run for myself. I run because it gives me confidence in myself. I run because it helps me deal with all the stress of life. I run because I care about my *health*. I run because through so many unexpected ways it has brought me happiness. I am not the best runner, nor the fastest runner, but each time I run I am the best runner I can be and that’s what matters
Wow I just got all weirdly mushy…
What would be funny to note is that 4 years ago I would not spend serious money on an athletic shoe nor wear them anywhere outside of the gym… now I own three pairs but am still trying different brands to see which one works best for me
I rarely sit down at work during the day (I’m also a teacher)! So, ironically, I run to spend even more time on feet, but it’s time that I get to zone out and forget about the rest of the crazy day!
tweeted.
I run cause it’s fun and like to rhyme all the time.
I run because it makes me a better mom….
I run for my sanity!
I run because I respect what my Heavenly Father gave me, and because I want to stay healthy enough to keep up with my kids and be active with them.
Such Cute shoes!! I have been looking for a comfortable running shoe! I run because it helps me re-focus and makes me stress less!
I run mostly because I like to eat. And also, it makes me feel strong. But FINALLY I run because it’s probably the only place and time where my mind stops thinking and it’s “me time”
I run to feel powerful
Those shoes are so beautiful!!
I run to stay sane >8D It gives me something consistent everyday (or six days a week) when everything else might be messed up.
I run to keep me happy, sane, healthy, trim, less stressed, a better wife, and better mother to my two kiddos. Because of all the reasons stated above I LOVE to run!

Therapy. I have 3 kids and it gives me sanity, makes me a better, more patient mother and wife.

I run because it is part of who I am! I run in minimal shoes because I want to run forever.
I run because it is a part of who I am. I am a mom, wife, daughter, sister, but most importantly I am a runner! Plus, I lack coordination so running was the one sport I could do in high school, =)!
I run for a lot of reasons, obviously for my health, weight control, stress relief and all of the other benefits….but more than anything else, because I just love it!
“I like run because it’s a challenge. If you run hard, there’s the pain – and you’ve got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is? Don’t overdo it’ and? Don’t push yourself.’ Well, I think that’s a lot of bull. If you push the human body, it will respond.”
- Bob Clarke, Philadelphia Flyers general manager, NHL Hall of Fame.
That’s why
Come visit me in MA this weekend, OKAY?!
I run so I can eat what I want. New shoes will make me go further!!

I tweeted about it too!
I run to challenge myself!
I run, so I can eat what I want.
I enjoy being outside and the time alone to think about the day.

I run for sanity. On those crazy days where everything is totally crazy and overwhelming, running keeps from spontaneously combusting (which would be gross for everyone invovled).
I run because it clears my mind…even when I am having the worst day ever! Running renews me.
I like how it makes me feel. refreshing in a way..
I run for me. It helps relieve my stress, lose weight, and pray. I love how I feel accomplished after a good run. I try to pray for at least part of every run. Running helps me feel I have done what I can to be with my kids as long as possible. When I check on my kids at night before going to bed, I want to know that I have done all I can to stay around as long as possible. Running helps me get healthy.
I run because I love being on the trail with my trees and canal next to me. It’s a slice of heaven!
I run because it is the time I can have ALLL to myself.
I run for shoes! Ask my running club….I LOVE shoes (and I really love running).
I run for me and me alone.
I run because it’s the only time of day for just me. I’m not at work or having to be a mommy, wife, sister, friend, etc., I can be alone and do something just for myself.
I run because of how it makes me feel: strong, liberated, healthy, and empowered.
Tweeted!
I run because it makes me feel healthy and strong. I also enjoy mental benefits. It just makes me feel good.
I run to be with nature. When it’s too icy and cold to run outside, (Wisconsin) I run to keep my sanity.
I love your blog!! You seem so cute! I am a new reader/commenter. I love the idea that food is to be enjoyed in a GOOD way because it is FUEL for your body. Such a good way to look at it, I didn’t always see it like that either.
I RUN because it makes me feel ALIVE!
I run because my husband hates running and isn’t good at it and because I love to run!
Wisconsin runner here too!
Sorry…that comment was supposed to go under Emily’s comment.
I run because I love how I feel afterwards (mentally and physically) and enjoy training for races and having a goal. Also, I totally pulled a “Janae” this morning when I opted to stay for the shoulder and ab tracks at BodyPump in lieu of washing my hair
I run because it’s so peaceful to be out on the trails first thing in the morning when everyone else is still asleep. Great way to start the day. And it’s hard not to feel like a bad a** when your legs are covered in dirt and you finish a sprint to the top of a steep hill…even if you want to puke when you get there!!
I run for stress relief, and because it makes me feel so much better! It also means I don’t have to be a stickler about my diet.
Tweeted!! @cravetherun
I run because it’s my therapy!! Nothing can replace that runners high after a 5am run or the conversations I have in my head as I truck out those long miles. Running has become a way of life and I love it!
I LOVE running because it helps me think and gives me time to clean out my brain…
I tweeted it too!
I tweeted!
I live to run lol jk seriously I run because I just can=) Why not run?
I run because I counsel terminally ill children everyday, and it’s the only want I keep my insanity!
I run because it allows me to have on selfish act that is all about me! I’m running my first marathon in 4 days, and I cannot WAIT!
I have a question outside of the sweepstakes I have always been an avid runner so I am used to running. However i just moved to a very hilly area I mean its just all hill I was wondering if you have any tips about running hills for an entire run. I love long distant runs but i am worried that these hills are going to hinder my long runs=(. There are no flat areas its either up or down.
I run because I hate it. I run because I love that feeling of reaching that last mile and your feet are burning through the soles. I run for that instant gratification when your finished. I run to pass all of the people who are’t running. I run to forget all the issues in world and live in bliss for a short time. I run for spirituality to figure things out. I run to hear my heart beat fast and I run to hear the pounding on the ground.
But In saying all of that I just run, for me.
I run for mental and physical health.
I have just started running to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. I just had a baby ( umm 6 months ago) and want to be as strong and as healthy as I can for him! That is why I am starting to run!
I run because I LOVE it, I run for the runners high, I run to race!
I run for fitness and to clear my mind when need be!!! (Ah the joys of being an attorney!)
I run because there is no other feeling in the world quite like it. I feel like my mind and body connect with the earth around me as I move forward. Love it!
Great giveaway!! Thanks
I just blogged about the giveaway! http://breannaandnick.blogspot.com/2011/10/one-of-many-blogs-i-read.html
I run because I feel so strong and capable of ANYTHING once I’ve hit the trail. Those endorphins are no joke!
I run to feel good. I just had a baby 8 weeks ago, and I love having that time for myself. There’s nothing like hitting my runner’s high and getting energy so I can be a good mom.
I blogged about this awesome giveaway. You can read it here http://joshandsharsti.blogspot.com/2011/10/obesessed.html
I run because I can and because I love it! The feeling you get is like no other.
I run for many reasons. I run to test my bodies limits and to see what I can push myself to do. I love to race! I run as an outlet. It is a time during my day when I feel completely free from all worries, obligations, stress. I run for health. I run because I love it and it truly brings me joy
I run because it’s a wonderful excuse to own a lot of kickass shoes
I run for the sense of accomplishment it always brings, to feel good about myself and what my body can do!!
I run because I need the exercise. I’m hoping to someday love running. I’m working on it.
I tweeted the giveaway! @fanatic_foodie
Running gives me a wonderful sense of accomplishment! Love it!

I run to be fit and strong. I run so that I can live to be a zillion years old and embarass my kids until they are at least 100! I run because I LOVE IT!
I run for running’s sake: I just love to do it.
Annnnddddd I tweeted!
I’m running to get into shape! And I cannot find shoes that work! So I am crossing my fingers!
I run for my SANITY! Also for fitness and because I love it! I don’t know what I would do if I wasn’t always training for something!
Just tweeted!
I run because of the way it allows me to work both silly problems (what toppings should I put on my oatmeal?) and serious problems (where’s my life going?) out in my head
)
Just tweeted the giveaway @melpeabody
Running is my time to reflect, relax and destress!
I run because it’s new to me and is a challenge. I love feeling improvement!
I run because it allows me to escape whatever is going on in my life at that time. It is “my” time and no one can take it away from me.
I recently started running. At first, I ran to get in shape, because that seemed like the right thing to do and my boyfriend is a runner. Then after it being terrible and extremely hard, I started to enjoy it. I could see improvement quickly (which is important so I would keep trying) and now run to relieve stress. Nothing better!
I tweeted about this giveaway!
I run because it gives me a sense of accomplishment!
I run for sanity. I run for fitness. I run to feel strong.
I run because I love the runner’s high! Having a bad day, go for a run! Plus, it gets me outside!
I am naturally a swimmer and have swam competetively since middle school. I am not getting into running and I love running because I love the feeling of the challenge it gives me that swimming does not. You don’t feel wind through you hair in the pool!
I run because it makes me happy, it’s the greatest stress reliever ever, and because it is fun to reach my goals!!
And I tweeted about this!
@kmarkham678
Are you serious? Another shoe giveaway! I run because it makes me so proud of myself.
I run b/c law school and now my career require stress release! It’s the best and most positive way to de-stress I can think of.
I run because I can…so many people can’t. I’m taking advantage of my healthy body
Running makes me a better person to be around : ) free therapy, time to think about the day, plan how I will handle situations and organize my thoughts!
Cute sneaks! I run primarily for stress relief and the feeling of accomplishment I get post-run!
I run because it makes me feel GREAT!!!
I run for pure, uninterrupted ME time… and a sexy bum and legs :p
I run b/c I can eat afterwards!
(Those mountains are gorgeous in the background!)
I run to challenge my body and help build strong lungs so I don’t have to rely on an inhaler all the time! Asthma won’t keep me down!
I run because it makes me feel so awesome! Like I have really done something gooood… Love the endorphins.
Tweeting….
I run for the endorphins and the thinking time
I started running because it gave me something to do with my daughter. I keep running because I feel such a sense of accomplishment when I am finished.
Running is a great way for me to relieve stress and get a great workout!
Love the shoes! I run because it’s the one time of the day that it is ‘all about me’…even if I have the little one in the jogging stroller;-) It’s my escape!
There ain’t nothing wrong with getting a pair of running shoes because they are cute. I may or may not have paid way too much money for a pair of shoes that weren’t right for my feet because they were pink.
P.S> I blogged about the giveaway.
I started running as a replacement for boot camp classes. But, after a while, I started running for ME. I run because it helps de-stress, I run because it makes me feel strong, I run for the constant challenge of it, I run because I like carbs, and I run because I CAN.
I run because it makes me a better person in so many ways!
I run because it is good fitness cross training for rowing. It is a much more enjoyable way to build endurance other than the rowing machine.
I run as a way to relieve stress, because it makes me feel good, and because it allows me to eat extra dessert
i run b/c i’m addicted. low mileage but i can’t stop. just being honest.

I run because it’s a stress releaser!
I run to challenge myself!
Whoa that’s a lot of comments! I WANT TO WIN SO BAD! I run to stay sane! And eating more is a plus too.
I am a Mom to three young kids….4, 2 and 5 months. Running is one of the few things these days that I do for just ME. I spend all day, every day taking care of my family, so you had better believe that when I hit the pavement I switch off Momma-mode and turn on “Think I’m A Way Better Runner Than I Am”-mode. I don’t care that I’m slow, that I can’t make it as far as I’d like (yet) or that I don’t look real pretty doing it. I’m getting some ME time….doing something for ME. And that makes me happy.
I mentioned your giveaway on my little blog
I run because it makes me happy!
Why do I run?! Well I started running when I quit smoking as an alternative, but now I run because I love it and I love how I feel when I am done!
I run because I can. I did not start until the tender age of 39 and did my first half marathon at 40. It has helped me lose 100 pounds and find out how strong I really am.
I run for several reasons: 1) I have an insane sweet tooth! 2) it makes me feel less crazed and stressed and 3) I like thinking that I am a total BAMF as I run!
I run to get some “me” time and stress relief, primarily, and it just plain makes me feel better to do it. Runner’s high, it exists, who knew? It also wakes me up first thing in the morning, gets me some fresh air and exercise, so I can eat more. I love to eat.
The math geek/type A side of me really likes setting goals and watching the miles rack up and looking at my stats, such as they are. No matter what the rest of the day brings, I can at least come into the office secure in the knowledge that my short legs and I already conquered three to six miles.
And the less type A side feels there’s nothing quite like catching a really beautiful sunrise when you’re finishing up an early run or at least just enjoying the scenery in the park.
I run because it makes me feel good. Simple answer but true.
I run for the great feeling afterwards! And also, now that it is cooler, to get some fresh air in my day!
I continue to run for a different reason than the reason I first began running. I started to lose wait but I continue to run because I was once told it is the most effective way to battle mood disorders. I find it helps me with my anxiety and depression far better than any pill ever did!
I run so I can stay in shape. It gives me energy in the morning and it make me feel like I dont something for me. So momma is happy.
I run because I love it & it gives me some time to myself. I also love doing something that most people think is crazy. Who runs for fun…. ME
I run because it gives me a chance to clear my head. I have an emotionally demanding job, and I need some time to clear my head so I can focus on my family instead of bringing work home!
demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
i run because running makes me feel AWESOME!
I run to take time for myself and clear my head. Oh and it’s my favorite form of exercise.

I run for ME time. As a mom of two littles, it’s my time to do something just for me.
i run mostly for mental clarity, time to myself, sweaty endorphins, and brownies/cookies/frosting!
these shoes look awesome…i’m battling a few injuries right now, and wondering if its posture, stride, foot strike?! i’ve been taking it easy the past few days in hopes to heal fast, but miss my running highs. will be looking into these shoes though; cute and functional!
I run because it is one of those things where you can truly see the progress you’ve made. It isn’t always easy, and it isn’t always challenging, but it is always there. You can run anywhere and all you need are shoes.
Woo hoo! I run for sanity and vanity. It makes me feel strong, confident and awesome when I get a good run on!
I run to stay in shape, as a stress relief, and the feeling I get from running!
I run for stress relief and for the feeling it gives me when I’ve finished a tough run. Thanks for the chance to win!
I run because I love it and I hate it. I want to love running unconditionally, but I’m coming to terms that I may never. It might have to be enough that I just run: sometimes consistently, sometimes not. Does that make me a runner?
Woo hoo! I run for sanity and vanity. I feel strong, confident and awesome after I get a good run in!
I run because it makes me feel alive!!!
I run because it makes me happy:) It’s also a great workout to I guess;)
I started running for a patient ( I am a nurse). I had never even run a 5k and decided to run the Rock N Roll San Diego Marathon and raise money for the leukemia and lymphoma society (LLS). I ran in honor of my patient and raised over 5 thousand dollars. That was 2009 and am I am still running- second marathon was this past weekend in Corning NY- Wineglass Marathon. Around mile 20 I was reminded of a quote I heard from LLS- “when your feet hurt, run with your heart”. I crossed the finish line 11 minutes short of qualifying for Boston- but it still felt amazing! Running makes me feel alive, without a care in the world. I have met the most amazing people through running~ I truly believe runners are some of the most caring, genuine people in the world! This sport has taught me much about life- how to respect your body and know your limits when you are battling injury- and taught me patience. I do not have a twitter or blog but wanted to share
i run because it is one of the few times during the day i can be alone and think!! also endorphins are a plus
I run to relieve stress and have fun with friends!

I run for my health, happiness and sanity
SOOO CUTE! I run almost everyday to relieve stress from my course work and because of the endorphins; my favorite (& safest) high
I run because it is a form of meditation for me…On the long runs when I find my groove anyways:) The rest of the time I am running to push myself.
I tweeted…
I run because no matter what I can count on running…It’s always there when I need it, never closes for holiday, never gets too crowded, and never has it ever left me feeling unsatisfied or unaccomplished. No matter how hard life gets, running is constant and the best mental therapy out there. People call distance runners crazy, but the real crazies are those who dont run at all.
I posted
I tweeted!
I run so I can eat! I love to cook, and I certainly don’t cook the lowest calorie food…
Running is also good for my mental health – it’s my ‘me’ time!
i love getting a runner’s high, and it really helps clear my mind!
I run so I can eat a lot.
I run to stay fit and also to see how far I can push myself. I am always amazed when I run farther than 3 or 4 miles because I never used to think I could.
I run because it makes me so-so happy. And so I can eat more PIZZA! And pancakes! And FRo-yO!
I also tweeted about the giveaway @ashthornock

I don’t run, but I walk daily and hopefully I’ll start running more if I can get some cool shoes
I run because I can. And I try to never forget how blessed I am, that I am able to!!
I run to stay fit! I run to be strong! I run to inspire my daughter! I run to experience a runner’s high!
I started running to lose weight. Now i’m simply obsessed. I read blogs, follow running forums, listen to podcasts….and when I wake up and it’s a ru day, I get up right away and can’t wait to get going. I run now because I love it.
I run to stay fit and for stress relief!
I have just started running. I am hoping that it will help me deal with some things that are going on in my life right now.
running empowers me! It gives me strength and independence that spreads to every aspect of my life. it’s a gift I tell u
I run to get an hour to myself = sanity.
I run so that I don’t run away. 5 kids=I need alone time!
I run to have good bonding time with my husband.
First post on your blog that I read religiously!
I run for me. Because I feel like I am flying, and the high I get with my feet off the ground is like no other feeling in the world:)
tweeted it! @bgfuino
I run for so many reasons! I love challenging myself (I used to not be able to run to the mailbox and now I am a marathoner), stress relief, spending time with my friends, but most of all…I used to have an eating disorder and running helps me not obsess about what I eat in order to stay thin. I eat to fuel my body so I can run and the thinness comes as a direct result of running. Running very important to me! I LOVE it!
I run because no matter how awful or great the run is the rest of my day is going to rock!
I started running after realizing that after being so active with sports in high school I needed a fun way to workout, even though it was not so fun at first. I keep running as a way to rehab my knee after having major knee surgeries last year, and also because you cannot beat the feeling after a great run. LOVE it! : )
I run for stress relief and to get that runner’s high! Everything is right in the world after a good run (even after a not so great run) and I love that feeling!
Also, how do you lace your shoes?!
Posted it on my blog!
I run because I love it so much. I feel happy when I run.
Best,
sj
I run because it keeps me sane and happy! And I would love new shoes because my feet and knees are desperate for some and I CANNOT afford them!
I run because no matter how much I am dreading getting out there I always feel a sense of accomplishment and feel great the rest of the day.
Like most people I run because it keeps me sane!
I run because I love it and it wakes me up more than a cup of caffiene ever could!! Rain or shine, it’s like a 16 ounce of java! I tweeted too!
I run because I can.
I grew up with asthma and took daily medication until my mid-20′s to control it. I remember not being allowed to run the mile for the annual fitness test at school because I might have an asthma attack. (so embarrassing!) As an adult, I walked regularly and took fitness classesl, but imagine my surprise when I tried running on a treadmill one day, and I could do it. That moved to running outdoors, and now I run just because I can.
I run because it really helps me burn off anxiety! Plus it’s a great workout
I run so i can eat cupcakes:D
I ALSO TOLD MY RUNNING COWORKERS ABOUT THESE SHOES! i REALLY WANT THESE…SO I TWEETED AS WELL!!
I run because it gives me the bestest, biggest high ever!
These shoes are super cute and sound interesting and high tech! I run because it’s a great way to start my day – endorphin rush – and gives me time alone with my music and the outdoors. And it makes me feel GOOD.
I love to run because it gives me time to think.
I run b/c my daughter and son started running XC for school teams…and I am learning to run to spend more time with them.
I run for the runners high I get. I run against myself to improve my time.
I race because I physically can (even though it hurts sometimes and I’m terribly slow), and to enter events with my husband (healthy, quality time together). I tried on this pair of Altra Zero Drop Intuitions and fell in love with them. The guy swears I’ll hurt less in these shoes, so I’d love to win them!
Also, I tweeted about your giveaway.
#pickmepickme
Awesome shoes, friend! I want to try a pair!! I started running to get healthy and take care of myself. Now, I am still doing that, but I also run to honor my mother and her memory because she can’t run anymore.
I tweeted this and shared a link on my blog! Thanks!!
I originally started running to lose weight, but I discovered I loved it, and now I run for stress relief, thinking time, and to get to run awesomely fun races!
I’ve always loved running. It’s gotten a bit harder for me to run again after having each baby, but I do it and love training for and competing in triathlons!
I tweeted! I’ve never tweeted anything before!! yay
I run to get stress out and work out my thoughts while also feeling and strong and proud of myself and looking good. I’ll never regret a run! Best feeling EVER. Thank you for doing this giveaway, Janae. Anything to lessen runners injuries is an awesome thing!!!

I saw an ad once that got me started running. It said, “I run because no matter how much I love my mother, I don’t love her thighs.” he he! Keep on running!
OOO my gosh!!!!! I REALLY want these shoes! I have never seen/heard of them before but they look and sound super amazing. Even if I don’t win, I think I might buy them because I super finicky feet.
Janae, I run because I LOVE it! My boyfriend says he is impressed by my motivation to get up early in the morning to run. But it’s not motivation that gets me moving in the early morning, it’s my love of just hitting the ‘mill or the street. I NEEEEEED these shoes!
P
Hi Janae,
I was wondering about the fit of the Intuitions…I have really narrow feet and all I wear are mizuno wave riders. Do the Intuitions work for people with narrow feet??? I really am thinking about getting a pair they seem really great!
Thank you!
I run because it’s the only thing I do for me. Not for my husband, not for my daughter, not for my boss…just me.
I run because it feels amazing and helps maintain my sanity!
I also posted on FB!
I run as a way of setting goals for myself while my husband is deployed!
I run so that I can be in shape to keep up with my 5 children
and because it feels great!
I don’t have a blog or a twitter acct but I did post to FB
I run because it makes me feel better and clears my head. It makes me so I am not so stressed out. I love to run.
I run for me.
I just left a comment on my facebook status.
I would love a pair of these! They are so cute
)
I run because every breath I take while running refreshes me from the inside out. It allows me to think more clearly. I’ve written more than one essay while on the treadmill!
i run to loose the baby weight from pregnancy #2.
Tweeted about the giveaway!!
I run to relieve the stress of my job and kids!!
I run …because I’m doing life. because I can. for everyone that can’t.
I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. I run so that I can eat like a normal person and to get time to myself. I work out a lot of problems out there. I hurt my back a couple of years ago in a car accident and have struggled to stay with it ever since. Partly because it’s so hard to find comfortable shoes now!
I run because it makes me feel so good…challenges me, keeps me sane, etc. etc. etc.
I tweeted!!!
I run because it makes me feel strong, and I just feel SO good physically and mentally after running.
I run for stress relief and fitness!! It makes mr feel good!
I run (I use the word run loosely) to be healthy.
Oh my gosh I need new running shoes so bad but don’t know what to get. I would LOVE to win these! So cute and I need shoes to help with heel striking (have been thinking about getting Frees but haven’t yet).
1. I started running after watching my dad lose 30 pounds from it and become a total marathon junkie, and although I haven’t gotten to marathon (or even half marathon for that matter) status, I love the way I feel after I go running!
2. I will definitely blog about it now!
I run for fitness and fun
I run to stay sane
I run to eat…and to have that amazing crossing the finish line feeling.
I run to live, to eat and to see the sky everyday.
I run to feel freedom and to raise my energy vibration!

I run to soak up fresh air, to relieve stress, and to feel great!
I tweeted!
To get away from my kids! Haha, actually to clear my head and have some me time!
I run because I can.. and I run for those who can’t..
I’ve been running consistently for a little over a year now and I’ve never felt better! Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is in my opinion the most important thing we can do for not only ourselves, but for those around us- friends, family etc.
My goal is to be a role model and to encourage those around me who are currently living sedentary/ not so healthy lifestyles in hopes that they too will someday give running a try..AND perhaps fall in love with it the way all of us have..
I run because it gives me the chance to get out of the world and just think. About nothing…or everything… I think I love running because I know that when I’m running I am doing the absolute right thing and there’s no way I can make a wrong decision or fail while I’m running. If that makes any sense… =)
One of the main reasons I run is to clear my mind. I typically run early in the morning– it helps me find peace and start the day on the right foot.
I run because I like to challenge myself, and running does NOT come easily to me. It’s something I have to work at, which makes the accomplishment that much better.
I run because I can!! Long story but the short version > junior year of high school + bad car accident + spinal cord injury + partial paralyzation. All better now thanks to my fabulous doctors and therapists. Don’t want to take these legs for granted!
I run to take some time out for myself….it is great to escape from everything else and dedicate an hour to me. It is such a great stress relief!
I run because I’ve had knee surgery to fix my problem and have no excuse not to. I also need to relieve my stress from being a stay at home Mom with a husband in college who is gone all day with school and work and I never see him. I run because I think of those 20 pounds I need to lose so I can fit into my skinny girl clothes again!
I run to lose weight from just having a baby! Hope I grow to love running!
I run for my mental health!
I started running bc a boy broke my heart, but I now continue running because I am addicted to collecting medals… and endorphins!
I run to clear my mind, to think about whatever, to feel strong or fast, to win, to race myself, to race others, to eat copious amount of froyo, to get the race shirt, and I run for the endorphins. I simply love running.
I run b/c I love the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment.
I put your giveaway in my status!
I run for clarity…and, also, for skittles.
p to the s. i tweet, tweet, tweeted.
I run because my dog had too much energy when he was little…now it’s just a habit.
I run for the awesome feeling of completion! And to eat anything and everything….
I run for fun! And for my sanity, my health, to have goals, to get out of the house, and so that I can still look decent after popping out a bunch of kids.
I run because walking just feels so dang slow!
LOVE the wide toe box on those shoes!!!

I run because I love the feeling of accomplishment when I am finished running!
I run because it’s the only time I get to think!
And I tweeted about it here: https://twitter.com/#!/jshira09/
The reason I run depends on the day. I run to clear my mind. I run because it is usually the only time I am not doing something for someone else. I run to lose weight. I run to feel strong. I could go on and on …
I run to stay healthy.
And I tweeted!
I run because it’s a part of who I am … and for the ability to eat a few more cupcakes, spoonfuls of nutella, peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, and reeces cups!
I run so I can feel like an athlete… and there’s nothing like being an athlete!
I run because I love it! Well, not every time. but I always love how I feel after a run!
I run because I love my husband and he loves running. Sharing his passion has brought us closer together.
I run to keep me in tip top condition, and keep those skinny jeans fitting!
I blogged about this! Check me outttt!
I run because it makes me happy and I am super competitive! I love to challenge myself to run my fastest(:
I run because it make me feel free, strong, and happy. I run because I’m blessed to be able to and I want to run the race for Christ. I run because I love ice cream.
I run to battle culture shock in this strange new land I inhabit: Hokkaido, Japan. It conveniently helps me orient myself as well and I’ve just discovered that running in the rain might be my new favorite activity
I run for stress relief and to stay healthy!
I run because I LOVE IT! That’s the best way to describe it without using 1000+ words!

I run because I have to. My friend is making me run a half in november and I’m in the middle of training. I would love these!
I run because grad school is super stressful and studying doesn’t burn enough calories!
I run because I love the runner’s high and the great support you get during races and from running buddies. I run because it helps keep me healthy and moving
I run because I like to eat and I don’t want to weight 1,000 pounds and running gives me time to myself.
I run for those who can’t. There are so many people out there who are disabled and cannot run. I know that some would give anything just to able to “go for a run”. I am grateful for my strong legs and healthy heart!
I blogged it today!
I run bc I love pizza and cheesesteaks and ice cream and froyo and hocho and choco and milkshakes and tacos and nachos and candy. Mangia mangia!
Tweet tweet!
And. Now blogged. I want these shoes!
I to run because I love pushing myself to accomplish my goals.
I run because I am a busy pre-med student and running for an hour or two a day allows me to justify daydreaming!:)
I also tweeted
I run to stay sane after teaching kindergarten all day.
I love to run as it makes me feel good about myself and I have so much energy after I do. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment.
I mentioned your giveaway on Facebook! Does that count as blog/twitter since i don’t have those! Pretty please?
I run because I love it – simple as that! It helps keep me sane and helps me feel strong. I love the feel of my feet pounding against the road and my heart pumping along with it. Awesome giveaway!!
Will post this giveaway on meh blog!!
I run for fitness, but once I started, I loved the feeling of just running; the focus, exhilaration, and challenge of it.
I’m blogging about it.
I run for crosscountry, and because it’s so dang fun!
Actually, I’ve been having issues with my current pair of Asics because the toebox is too small…I have PURPLE toes!!
Hi Janae! Other than the obvious reason of leading a healthy and active life style, I run for the amazing feeling of accomplishment that comes afterwards. Running makes me feel empowered, confident, and strong! I’m running Marine Corps in 22 days and I can’t wait for that feeling of crossing the finish line!
I run because I feel like I accomplish something everytime I go out there even if it’s just a mile or so.
I run to relieve stress and enjoy the fresh air. Crunching on leaves this time of year makes it extra nice to get out and hit the pavement.
Mostly I run because it makes me better at horseback riding, but in the rare times that I’ve trained for a run, I love to see that I really can run farther and farther each time!
One word: Love!
I run to feel strong and accomplished, and for the endorphins!
I run because I can.
I run so I can eat whatever I want without worry.
I run because I truly LOVE it!!! I keeps me sane. On days where I am running around like a crazy person the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that every morning I get to get up and go have some “me time.” I have found the one thing in life that I truly can’t do without and that is running/working out. I love the way it makes me feel when I have finished a goood hard run. Seeing what my body is capable of is amazing to me. I am not a fast runner but just the fact that I can run 26.2 miles at once is kind of amazing to me. I have also met some pretty fabulous people because of running. The running community is am awesome thing!!
I posted your giveaway on Facebook!!
I run for the love of running
I run because I would go crazy if I didn’t. I’m truly an addict:) It’s such a good way to relieve stress and be healthy.
I run to feel accomplished! There’s nothing like the feeling you get after a run!
I run bc I love how it makes me feel and it helps me enjoy the world around me!
and I tweeted about this
I run for the insinstant gratification. I may not love it while I’m outside, but I love the way I feel after!
I run because I am addicted, and because my dog is addicted! I love the high I get from accomplishing something that many people don’t even dream about, like a marathon. Running is inspirational to me. It is so cool to say that I can push my body into running 26.2 miles! Running gives me a calm and peace of mind that nothing else can. It gives me time to think, pray, and meditate about my life. When you are running for 26.2 miles you start to think a lot
Running with my dog will always be my hobbie and favorite past time.
I run for many reasons including: keeps me in good cardiovascular shape, allows me to eat more of my own baked goods, keeps my blood pressure lower (which I sadly have to deal with as a young 30 something) and bc it helps me feel balanced and keeps me from crying
I run because it makes me feel better and to be with my friends.
The thing I love most about running is the instant gratification. I may not enjoy every minute that I’m outside, but afterwards, I feel wonderful!
I run to stay healthy, to stay (or eventually get) skinny, to release tension and give myself “me” time and time to think! I run because I CAN!!!! & because I’m addicted!
I blogged about your giveaway!!!!
I run because I have to! Its the only way I can stay trim.

I run to escape the day for a little and have some “me” time!
I run to stay in shape and for the glorious “me” time!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
I run for the eupophia I get after races, and honestly, I love hanging out with other runners. We’re pretty nice people!
I run because it makes me feel like a bad ass. For realz.
I run because it is my time to be by myself and it makes me feel great!
Aw these shoes are super cute and I’d love to try the whole zero-drop thing but unfortunately I have super narrow feet and it looks like these don’t come in narrow =( If you want to send me some Mizuno wave rider 14′s in pink I’ll take those instead =)
I run because it is the only way I can enjoy the gorgeous Georgia weather for free! Nothing more beautiful than running trails at sunrise! Butttt I have a broken toe (due to improper footwear ironically!) so lots of hiking for now : (
I am just trying out running for the first time. I am doing it as a form of exercise and stress relief. I love that it is an activity I can do either by myself, or with friends!
Just tweeted!

I run because no matter how hard my day has been or how much I may not want to run that day, I always feel better afterwards!
I run for the endorphins.
Oh! and I also tweeted and blogged here http://runstudyeat.blogspot.com/
I run because it gives me time to think over things, and realize that I don’t need to stress out and turn into a basketcase over every little detail of life. Most of the time it calms me down. I also run to feel empowered! And let’s be honest… I run so my legs will look pretty.
Oh! And I tweeted about it too!

I run for health and fitness. My husband and I are currently training for a 5k. We are almost done with the C25k program and our 5k is in less than 2 weeks! I love how good running makes you feel about yourself once your done : )
I run for my health and I run just because I think it is fun!
I started running because of all the running/health blogs I read DAILY. I knew I needed to lose weight somehow, and all you bloggers made it sound so rewarding and fun! So, I started to run and even started a blog of my own! I am proud to say I am signed up for 2 5k’s in Nov and am signed up for the SF half marathon in JULY EEK!
I tweeted! @running2skinny
I run to maintain my sanity!!!
Ok…and to be vain…I run bc I have an “apple” tummy…and that has GOT to go! 
just tweeted! @nikSAbrody
I run to get out of my crazy house!! After having two children (10 months apart), I decided to get healthier for them. I had gastric bypass surgery and have lost 102 pounds. I starting running to change my lifestyle and I love it.
I have not challenged myself to a marathon, yet–but it is coming. I got turned on to your blog from my great friend, Jenny Campetelli (www.loveeatrun.com ) and I read it all the time. Thanks for the great tips, advice, encouragement and funny stories. I enjoy them. Hope to win the shoes and take it to the next level!!
I run for fitness, FUN, stress relief (cheaper than therapy) and I want to be a good example for my kids. I actually ran cross country in middle school and high school : )
ooo those shoes sound awesome:) I run because i want to become stronger and healthier and i know that running can change your lifestyle, mindset, goals, capabilities, and health! its exciting:)
I tweeted too! @jcnichols83

I run for fitness, fun, stress relief and to spend time with my dog
Being in college I’m surrounded by unhealthy choices and a complete lack of money. Running is just that time where I can relax, not worry about school work, be healthy, and not have to pay to do something enjoyable.
I run to keep up with the 3,000+ LAUSD students who are training for the LA Marathon in March 2012.
I run because it is something I love, and because it is something that my wife and I can enjoy together, hopefully for many years to come.
I mentioned your giveaway on Facebook too.
I run for the feeling of it-especially the feeling AFTER it! And, if I accidentally lose my baby weight in the process, so be it!
Running keeps me in shape. I am slowly learning to love it!! Lol!!
Running keeps me sane (and smiling).
Running keeps me stress free and in shape!
I hate to run but I do it so I can have a small waist;-)
I run to feel stress free, happy, and confident in my body. All that +the runners high
I used to run because the Army made me.
Now I run because when I’m running some ungodly distance, that distance is all that matters. Nothing else matters. Stress from work. Bullets that barely missed. Kids that are arguing with one another. All of these drift to the margins. The only thing that matters is water, pace, GU, and repeat.
It’s nature’s therapy. And I’m saner for it.
I run to keep from wanting to strangle people
If you need za proof, here is Za tweet.
@hungryrunnergrl Nice giveaway here. Always in need of a new pair of minimal shoes . . . http://t.co/PGHOhAX7
I run to challenge myself physically and mentally! I don’t mind the runner’s high either
I run because it makes me feel strong. I love running races too! It’s just an indescribable feeling!!!!
When I run I feel so free and happy–I guess I run for the endorphins!
I run for fun! I love the feeling of running with the wind in my hair (not that much wind; I’m not THAT fast of a runner), just me and the road.
When I run I just feel free – I can think to myself and just run – there is nothing that compares to it for me.
I run because it makes me feel good about myself. I love being able to sweat out everything that’s bothering me. Sure you can sweat other ways, but running provides that feeling that no other form of exercise can give me.
because it allows me to eat more fro-yo!!!
I run for the feeling of accomplishment. When I come in from a run I feel SO good, I feel like I accomplished something that day. When I finish a race the feeling of accomplishment stays with me for a day or two and I just LOVE that feeling! These shoes would make my feet happy, I need a shoe with a wide toe box, not to mention they are super cute!
I run because it makes me feel uhhhhmazing! Runner’s high anyone??
I run because I love the way it makes me feel: strong, capable, independent, and proud!
Running is my “drug” of choice. It keeps me happy, focused, motivated, driven. It makes me a better wife and mommy.
I recently have discovered “the runner’ s high”!
I run for my sanity and because I can.
In the last year, i’ve encountered some health issues, but I have still so far been able to run and grateful to be able to.
Running defines me – mile after mile, ups and downs, no matter what obstacles you face, you get to the finish line…. It’s motivating and empowering!
Tweeted about it! Crossing my fingers
I run to keep my body smoking hot and toned! And of course for health so I can live a long life and watch my babies grow old!

I originally started running b/c I’ve been losing weight since last fall and I’m turning 30 in December so why not? Then earlier this year I really started LOVING to run so now I just run to run and love how my body feels afterwards. 2 weeks ago I ran my first half-marathon and it was one of the biggest days of my life!
I run for ME! Stress relief, health, spirit, and mind

Love , Vicky
Put me in for this drawing, I run to keep me healthy, through years of weight gain and loss, to eating disorders I’ve realized I need to run to feel good about myself and beable to eat the things that are not so healthy for you. I know running keeps me on the straight and narrow path. I would like to try these shoes but not sure how they work with us people who have flat feet. They had no info on the website . Hope I’m able to try these shoes!!!!!
I just starting running and my shoes hurt my feet so bad! I am saving up for new ones but in the mean time, it’s very hard to stay motivated with crappy shoes. I really hope I win!!!
Why do I run:
1: Sense of accomplishment
2: Weight Control
3: The extra calories!!!! (see reason 2)
4: Me time (no phone/email/internet/Bosses/subordinates/)
5: Because the road calls to me and I have to answer.
