I love fall weather. Perfect for runs outside…not too hot/muggy, and not terribly cold (yet) either. I always look forward to weekends when I can get outside and get to sweatin’! Lately, however, I’ve been taking to the treadmill as the sun goes down earlier. By the time I get home from work, it’s already dark…so to the basement I go. I pass the time with episodes of The Blacklist and Modern Family. I’m also looking forward to next week when Top Chef Junior starts up!
Now that I am out of the first trimester of pregnancy, I feel like my energy has gotten back to normal again. Those first weeks didn’t involve a lot of workouts because I was either a- exhausted or b- feeling nauseous. Luckily, both have subsided so I’m trying to get more motivated to get back into the swing of things! Extra motivation for me recently have been these new kicks that showed up on my doorstep!
The Mizuno Wave Rider 18 just became available to purchase at the beginning of the month.
I was super excited a few months back when I had the opportunity to review Mizuno’s new trail running shoe – the Wave Hayate – and now I’m even more pumped to try out their latest running shoe, made for neutral runners (like me!). After trying out two pairs now from Mizuno, I can honestly say I am a fan and would consider breaking my loyalty from my beloved Saucony shoes.
A little about Mizuno Wave Rider 18:
Mizuno adopted the inspirational influence of the Japanese concept of “Hado,” the intrinsic vibrational life force energy that promotes powerful transformations. Hado is executed in the Wave Rider’s sleek, dynamic design relaying the power and kinetic energy of running, harnessing the transformative possibilities of every run.
I love the Wave Rider 18 shoes for a few reasons – first of all, they are GORGEOUS! I’m totally digging with the ombre black to white look. I had never really been a fan of black running shoes so was skeptical when I realized they were black. However, that ombre effect and the teal accents makes it SO fashionable and makes your legs look even longer if you are wearing black leggings. The shoes are also very lightweight and comfortable. I put them on and have been walking 30-45 minutes on the daily and they fit like a dream.
And here’s a little more about the Mizuno Wave Rider 18 from the website:
The new Wave Rider 18 provides the ideal balance of fit and performance, making it the choice for runners seeking a smooth ride in a sleek, lightweight daily running shoe. Mizuno’s patented Wave Technology® delivers maximum responsiveness and a harmonious feel, providing “just enough” support for your run. The Dynamotion® FitTM upper and a modified outsole pattern gives the shoe added durability and an improved underfoot feel.
What is your favorite color for running shoes? I say the brighter the better!
