Mizuno has launched a campaign called the Mezamashii Project:

This is an excerpt from the invitation I received in the mail:
Congratulations.
You have been chosen as a founding member of the Mezamashii Project.
In Japanese the word Mezamashii means brilliant.
We are on a quest to deliver more mezamashii – more ecstatic, electric, wind-in-your-heart running. More brilliant running.
So instead of spending millions of dollars on advertising to talk about our shoes, we’re putting our money where your feet are – by giving you a free pair.
To learn more about the Mezamashii Project, click here.
Every temple has its steeples.
I’ve been a loyal customer of Mizuno shoes since I was first fitted for a pair in May 2007. I had just made the Fort Hood Army Ten-Miler Team and wanted to ensure that I was wearing the “right” running shoe. I’d say 98-99% of my miles since then have been run in Mizuno Wave Alchemy’s. I’ve had no injuries or issues so wasn’t able to justify trying a different pair of running shoe.
Let the current carry you.
However, in the last few months, I’ve been testing out neutral shoes (I’m looking for a lighter, less supportive shoe) and have yet to try any Mizuno options…
Stand. Walk. Run. Fly.
I am looking forward to testing out (and reviewing) the Mizuno Wave Ride 15s – which should be arriving in the mail any day now!
Feel the wind in your heart.

Not every run is easy, but every run is “brilliant.” Running, for me, is like free therapy. At its most brilliant, it’s the perfect time to turn of my mind, thinking of nothing but the strides of my feet. From the moment I tie my laces to the time of my last step, I am free of the problems of the world, the noise of life around me, and all of the day’s imperfections. A clear head, stretched lungs, and a strong mind and body? Brilliant, indeed.

My last brilliant run was 7wks ago. 35wks pregnant, distance and speed were waning, and I set out for a run with no turnaround point, just going to see what my body would let me do. I didn’t know if I’d get 2 slow uncomfortable miles or if I was up for more. The weather was perfect, the morning was beautiful and my body found it’s groove, which I hadn’t felt in weeks. It was 7 amazingly blissful miles of what I love!

The last brilliant ride I had took place over the weekend. I had just made dinner for my family and was leaving for a business trip a couple hours later. I really wanted to go for a run but was also feeling lazy because I was so tired with getting the house ready before leaving. Instead of napping, I laced up my shoes and went for a run. I am so glad I did because it cleared my mind and allowed me time to decompress before leaving for my trip. I was also able to clear my head and prepare for the meetings that would take place over the next couple of days. I would love to try these shoes out and help promote them to all my readers who are or are not runners. Maybe I could motivate some readers to become runners:) Thanks for the opportunity!

My last brilliant run was this morning! 7 miles, and my very first long run of marathon training
My last brilliant run was in San Diego. I live in Chicago and am used to flat terrain everywhere you look. My boyfriend lives in La Jolla, where you can’t find “flat” in the phonebook. With a few “flatter” runs under my belt, he challenged me to tackle a “big girl hill.” A mile uphill (without the music I always lean on) sounded daunting, but I was up for the challenge. For my efforts, I was rewarded with a sweeping view of the Pacific, and was giddy upon my return. It re-engergized my run and renewed my belief in my body. Now that I’m back in Chicago, I can do anything.

I had been running in Mizuno Wave Inspires for over a year. Less than a month after debating on my 3rd pair, Inspire vs. Enigmas, I pr’d in my 6th marathon and actually placed 4th winning prize money! I immediately ordered a pair of Mizuno Enigmas. 700 miles later on that pair, I have trained for and run my first 50 miler! I hope to run many more miles, including a few more marathons and ultras on my beloved Mizuno’s!!!
My last brilliant run was one this past Wednesday. I needed some distance, I wanted some distance. It had been three weeks of travelling and getting in short 4-5 milers and I wanted something more. The run was aimed for 9. Midway I was wondering if I had it in me. Yet after some pushing and pushing I got that second wind I love most in a run. 9.5 miles in the books. What I needed.
I follow you on twitter because I think you are awesome.
Awwww, what a fun giveaway! I’ve actually never run in a Mizuno and would be so interested to see how they would do for me. A brilliant run? Definitely not races, those are mired with too much adrenaline and emotion. I would say my 8 mile training run a couple weeks ago. Everything came together and I felt I was just gliding for the whole 8 miles, alone and quiet in my thoughts. An almost meditating run. You know you had a brilliant and mind transforming run when you end a long one strong and feel like you could have kept going!

My last Mezamashii Brilliant run was a few months ago when the planets Venus and Jupiter were in line with the moon. I am not a crazy astronomer or someone who gets into the zodiac, etc, but I went for a run looking up at these 3 beauties and I not only got so into a runner zone that I was truly one with the road and totally at peace with everything. I got totally lost and ended up doing 9+ miles when I was only aiming for about 5, but it was an insanely brilliant memorable run for me.

Hi Michelle, I followed Mizuno!
My last brilliant run was last Wednesday! I was able to run – no dominate – 14 miles. The most I had run since my first full marathon in September 2006. After battling a major back injury in 2011 I felt on top of the world after I completed that run … and with a pace of 8:30 min/mile! Something I only ever DREAMED of doing.
Running gives me the confidence and self-worth I won’t give myself!!

My last brilliant run was a 16 miler on the DREADMILL! But really, I love the treadmill! That’s where I get caught up on my DVRed shows and watch movies when they hit OnDemand!
Haven’t had an amazing run in a while due to various injuries. Here’s to hoping that I’ll win this giveaway and be on my way to injury free running soon. P.S. love Mizuno shoes!
Ahhh…where to start! First, I’d always been a Nike girl. I ran in them for three years, before realizing that they weren’t loving my feet as much as I loved them. So, I tried the Mizuno Wave Nirvanas. I love them. I feel swifter…lighter…more supported. Last weekend, I ran 8 miles in them. My longest run to date – in attempts to train for my first half marathon. (July 22nd). It was BRUTAL. TERRIBLE. Sweaty, messy, mentally exhausting. My legs felt like cement. BUT…I did it. I ran the 8 miles…slowly but surely. I turned around to quit…and turned back around to continue on. I fought it…but I did it. I feel like it really strengthened me as a runner…I never would have continued a year ago. I would have quit. My mind is getting stronger with my legs…and yesterday’s 4.5-miler was proof…I OWNED that run thanks to the strength and heart I gained from that longer, brutal run. I was a sweaty, glorious mess.

Yesterday! It wasn’t a long run, sets of sprints. Babysitting ran out of room and I wanted to get moving. I asked my son, Alex (5), if he wanted to walk around the track. Next thing you know he is sprinting around the short track at the Y and I’m chasing him! After 30 minutes, I was winded, he was red faced and I received my call that Alex can go to babysitting. It was tons of fun and I can’t wait to do it again. It’s great to know that my son likes to be active and tries to challenge his momma!

My last brilliant run was with my brother- supporting him in the last 12 miles of his first ever marathon.
Hmm, tough to choose. My last Mezamashii run was probably when I ran my first training 6.2 mi as I’m in the process of upping my mileage. A few weeks prior to that, I ran a training PR for 5K on a flat course, so I was super-excited about that. And, finally, I’m gonna have a Mezamashii moment this Saturday at a race! : ) [Would love to try some Mizunos--like the Sauconys, it's yet another brand I've only experienced in the store. Again, thanks so much for the giveaway!]

this last weekend i ran with a group of 9 friends across the state of Iowa in the longest relay in the world. 337 miles and 49 hours later, we were finished. miles upon miles through the blistering sun and empty pitch black nights, i was able to look deep inside myself and the beautiful world around me and realize that brilliance in running & in life that Mizuno is hoping to share through this project. thank you.

I don’t know if it was brilliant but I just had a great 5 mile run filled with hill repeats to get ready for marathon training. It is always great when you are done by 6 am and are ready to start the day.
I haven’t had overly brilliant runs lately in this AZ heat, but technically every run is brilliant because that means I’m injury free and running! Almost bought the Wave Inspire 8s. Still wearing Asics, but would live to give Mizuno a shot.

Mezamashii for me was in May of 2009. I arrived at the start line of the New Jersey Marathon when it was dark, giving a small box to a race organizer for safekeeping until later that day. I then ran 26.2 miles entirely in the rain, and I still get emotional when I think of how I felt for every one of those miles. I knew that at the end of that race my life would change. It is Mezamashii in every way, propelling you forward like you are flying, oblivious to the pounding torrents. At the Mile 25 fluid station I stopped and a whole group of volunteers handed me that little box and then told me, “What are you waiting for? Go proposed to her!!!” So I did. I ran that last mile along the shore with some tears mixing with raindrops on my face, and then I saw her up ahead at the finish line, waiting for me. I crossed the finish line, no idea what my time was. I got down on one aching knee, and asked Lisa to marry me. She jumped on me, and I then bore the weight of two on one wounded knee, but somehow it was OK because it felt like it would feel in the future as a couple, carrying our weight together. She was so embarrassed by the official race photographer’s and videographer’s presence, but it was so perfect, and we lived happily ever after. My next Mezamashii is going to be in a pair of Mizunos, I hope!!! (I need new shoes.)

I have been wanting to try out Mizuno shoes FOREVER! I would LOVE to win these. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!
My last brilliant run was last week and I did over 4 miles. It was my first time doing anything over 3.1 and it just felt so right. It was by no means fast but I didn’t feel tired and I didn’t have to push myself to keep going, it just happened naturally. I can’t wait to have many more brilliant runs like that!

My runs haven’t been very brilliant lately, must mean I need new shoes!
But most of my brilliant runs are when I need them the most, after a stressful day. A good run always clears my head.
My last Mezamashii (brilliant) run I had was on Sunday during an 8 mile race put on by my road runners club. There was nothing particularly special about the race itself – it was very bare bones which is sometimes refreshing. It was brilliant because it was one of the few times (if only) that I didn’t put any pressure on myself. I just ran for the love of running. I ran smart because it was hot and I ran comfortably because I wanted to. I hit my goal pace and stayed consistent. It was the first time where I was able to maintain a level head during a race and not give into the math that often takes over my head and calculates splits every 30 seconds. It was amazing!

I’m with you in looking to transition to a lighter shoe. I currently run in high stability shoes and I’m tired of letting the shoe do all the work. I need to take it upon myself to make my foot stronger.
My last Mezamashii (brilliant) run I had was a 14 miler a week ago. It was a hilly route in SF and I felt really strong. So much so that it was only supposed to be a 13 miler, but we ran an extra lap around the park for fun. That’s right FUN!

April 1st as I did my first 15K race. I didn’t think it would feel as great as it did and I did. Not having my ipod shuffle helped me to enjoy it and not that I did that on purpose, I forgot to charge it properly the night before. That was my first brilliant run and the last one I have to say was the LI half marathon where I was hoping to set a PR but I gave in after I realized this was no NYRR organized run and I just allowed myself to enjoy it.
My last “brilliant” run was last night while squeezing in a run during my daughters practice! It was uplifting and relaxing, just what I needed on Monday evening! What a great start to a wonderful week!

The last brilliant run I had was last night on my tempo run with my running group – I was hurting and wanting to stop, but I kept pushing through and ended up having a great, great run.

I am currently in the midst of a brilliant 30 day run streak. My birthday is on June 30th and I am turning 31, so I vowed to run each of my last thirty days of being thirty. On non-training days I’ll set out to do a mile, but typically end up running 2-3 on the way to the gym. And on training days, I’m setting my goals higher and running 6-8 miles on days I would typically run 4 or 5. It’s brilliant!

I love Mizunos! I only wear the wave inspires and have 5 pairs of the wave inspire 6s haha. The last brilliant run I had was at the Women’s 10k! Although I experienced stomach issues at mile 3, I still pulled it together to finish at a strong pace. I’m ready to tackle training for NYCM on my birthday
My last brilliant run was when I forgot my iPod at home and my glitchy Garmin was acting up. Being forced to run named, reminded me why I love running.

LOVE this concept – running “brilliant” is such a visual concept to me. I dig it. My last “brilliant” run was today actually. I did the good ‘ol run to barre n9ne, take class, run home from barre n9ne. And it took every ounce I had to get through that last hill by my house. I was SPENT. It felt awesome. I felt badass. The end.

PS. I hope I win LOL!

I can’t enter the contest
(Canada), but would like to say that I switched to Mizunos last year, and at the same time switched over to neutral (the wave riders), and absoutely love them! I’ve been working on a mid foot strike, and higher turnover, and think that those changes plus a lot of training contributed to some HUGE pr’s last year (like 12 mins off my Half time).
Oh and I ran a 10k 2 weeks ago at 25 weeks preggo, and it went soooo well – my finish time was about 15 mins slower than my PR, but was so much faster than I’ve been running on most of my every day runs. I’ve really been enjoying the pregnant racing this time around – last time it was mostly winter, and there aren’t many races here in the winter.

The last brilliant run I had was last weekend, on the beach, no music, just beach sounds.

The last brilliant run I had was when I came to the realization that running doesn’t always need to be competitive, it can be fun too. Post-injury I was forced to think this way and I am really enjoying running again just to be outside

My last brilliant run was on Saturday. I did 6 miles in the pouring rain and loved it! What can I say – I heart a rainy run!

Michelle! I’m so excited for you! What an amazing opportunity!
The last “Mezamashii” run I had was Sunday morning. Although it didn’t feel “effortless” (few runs at 24 weeks preggo feel effortless:-) it did feel amazing and I was able to have enough energy to run negative splits (a rarity these days). And the weather was perfect: cool, cloudless blue skies, breeze:-) Just me and the road (and my baby:-)

I wish I had a last brilliant run! Having just moved from the city to the suburbs, I can’t get into a rhythm. I have been joining some ladies on the weekends to run along the coast in Southport CT and while I can’t say my particular effort has been brilliant, the scenery makes it worthwhile!

Ah! I LOVE Mizuno. Those shoes changed my running and made my feet so happy. The last absolutely brilliant run I had was the NJ Marathon last month. I trained hard and everything was perfect, the weather, my stride, my pace, my family and friends being there to support me, and running a Sub 4! Everything fell into place. I could not have been happier. I felt accomplished.

My last brilliant run was on National Running Day. I went for a run in the morning that was supposed to be a 5k but I was enjoying it so much it ended up being a 5 miler. It just felt effortless.
