New shoes

Published by Nathan Powell on September 16, 2008 08:48 am under running

A while ago I signed up for a promotional site sponsored by Perl Izumi. The site is called saverun.org. The site is more of PI’s elitist runner nonsense that I actually find very amusing, and cheeky.

The main draw for the site for me was that the first 200 people to sign up got a free T-Shirt, and since I am an absolute T-Shirt nut I signed up.

Many months went by and eventually a couple of weeks ago the shirt came. In the parcel was also a stack of stickers, and a coupon for a FREE pair of Perl Izumi’s! Holy Crap! So I wasted no time in ordering my shoes. They arrived today. They are very comfortable.

I ran up the hallway and back in my office. I wish like mad I was going running today. Grrrrrrr.

    Sexy kicks, and free, too? I’m frustrated for you being stuck just running in the hallway (which, by the way, I’ve always been told isn’t allowed…). Very cool, though.

    You Suck

    I’ve always wanted a pair of PI running shoes. I’m a big fan of their pricey (but awesome) cycling apparel. Make sure to post a review after you break them in.
