Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky...
I have wanted yellow running shoes since I started running. Not sure why, I just like bright colors like yellow and orange, especially for my running shoes. However, I have never been able to find yellow in shoes that fit my feet well.
I did a post about my dream running gear a little while back as part of the runapalooza week I did leading up to my fastest 5k.
Well, Puma saw that post, contacted me, and sent me the exact YELLOW shoes from that post! Thank you Puma. (Yep, that's my disclaimer, the shoes were free, the opinions however are 100% my own)
A little info about them from www.puma.com:
Looking for a little stability?
This shoe won't help you find your dream home, job or partner, but it will keep you steady on your feet. And that's a start. This tech'd out little number comes equipped with full-length idCELL cushioning and a long-lasting duoCELL crash pad in the heel. Maximum cushioning + maximum guidance = a difference your feet will appreciate.
Features:

Now, I've been very faithful to my normal shoe since I started running. I found something I liked, that worked well for me, and I stuck with it. Each spring when the new version comes out, I buy it. Needless to say I was a little apprehensive to willy nilly switch running shoes. Change is hard for me, but these were just too cute to pass up. I figured, what the heck, I'll give 'em a try.
So, did I buy my regular running shoes this spring? NOPE. Didn't do it. Not gonna do it. I LOVE these Pumas. I am now a Puma convert. They even cost the same as my old shoes, bonus.
I have ran with them on the treadmill for speed intervals, outside on roads/trails for 3-4 mile runs, and on the track for intervals. I have even done some of my other DVD workouts in them (I don't always enjoy running shoes for this, but these were great). They are so comfy. I love the feel when I run; they are light, stable, and just the right amount of cushion for me...and the best part...they are so freakin cute.
Yes, I care what my running shoes look like. These Puma Complete Vectanas are by far cuter than any running shoes I've ever had.
I love the little Puma details on them.
Hands down I give these shoes 5 stars (and I don't give that rating lightly). I'll be running another 5k June 20th. Trying to cut my time again. Shooting for less than 32 minutes. I will absolutely be wearing these shoes!
Awesome! Yellow shoes how fun is that!
ReplyDeleteI like that your socks have yellow to match too! :) CUTE! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I have always wanted a yellow sports bra... dont know why. Yellow just must be a good happy color. Now you can look down at your feet and remind yourself to keep going!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so generous of Puma!! How cool for you, and very sporty!! Enjoy your new shoes!

I love, love the look of these shoes! I want some now, not cuz they'll keep my feet comfy, but because they're so damn cute.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool! Yellow is a good happy color.
ReplyDeleteHa...I thought that I was the only one that cared what their running shoes looked like. Because I wear a size ten and have REALLY flat feet, my options are ALWAYS limited. Girl...I refused to by a pair of $140 dollar running shoes because they were UGLY as SIN!!! I don't care how "perfect" they were for my feet. NO, NO, and No...is what I told the sales guy. Glad you have some that you love!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is awesome....I need to get more followers so that I can get free swag! Those shoes are totally adorable! Good for you!
