Switching It Up: Puma Giveaway

As much as I loved the Marine Corps Marathon, I’ve longed for this star-crossed training cycle to end. As I struggled with injury I knew I had to change things up once the race was behind me.

I want to shift my focus from distance running to short but intense, strength building workouts. But how?

Enter Puma and their Sweat Pretty initiative with Puma Athlete Cara Castronuova. The video series  focuses on getting you out of your comfort zone and trying something new and FUN!

Check out more of Cara’s workout videos here.

Now that I’ve regained function of my marathon legs (yessss!) my plan is to recover, rebalance overworked muscles and discover new ways to have fun and stay fit. Thanks to Puma, I’ve got some great new workout gear to kick off my fresh start. Brace for some very amateur modeling to follow.

Sport Lifestyle Jacket: This may be my favorite piece. Made of super-soft poly fleece with tech fiber accents for breathability. There are inner and outer pockets and a small zipper chest one perfect for an iPod, ID or key.

Sport Lifestyle Shorts:  Super lightweight with vented panels. Handy back zipper pocket. These would be great for running, although I’m not a shorts kind of girl. They’re are a tad short for my taste. Lets just say I wouldn’t be going near the adductor/abductor machines in them. BUT I wouldn’t hesitate to throw them over some compression shorts, capris or even a swimsuit bottom for when I’m frolicking on the beach (one can dream). They are super cute, great quality and cut well.

Tank: Made of breathable tech fabric, this tank reverses to stealth grey. Racer-back styling (see plank pic above) and colored accents make it as cool to look at as it feels to wear.

Complete SLX Ryjin Running Shoes: Since I’m on temporary hiatus, I haven’t run in these yet. But I can say they’re super comfy, stylish and have performed beautifully in the gym and fitness classes. Watch for a more complete review to come.

Of course I would never tease you guys with all these fab gear without having some for you!

WIN IT!

  2. My above comment wasn’t my entry. Just an observation. Those studio pants are amazing. I love non-black workout pants, and they’re FUN looking.

  25. I would love to have the Alpine Women’s Snow Boots. I live in Chicago, IL and wintertime is on the way soon. I could really use them.

  26. I would LOVE the jacket! I seriously have a thing for running jackets and this one looks and sounds amazing! Heal up fast! Sending positive vibes!

  28. I would love to have one of the Tech Performance Seamless Jackets. They look perfect for Florida winters.

  46. Sorry, didn’t see I had to post a fave thing until I entered above (after commenting, derp). I love Puma, because I love cats. Is that wrong? I like the logo fitness tank top in gray, even though I know I would pit out in it. Ha!

  52. Cute stuff! I love the colors!!

    Sorry Sandy got in the way of me meeting up with you while you were here. i was a tad pre-occupied…

  58. It would be AWESOME if I could win these. Puma was my gear of choice in HS. I would love to win a chance to wear them again.

  77. Wow! I would love to win this! Not only is orange my favorite color, but this stuff just looks like it would be functional and comfortable (my two requirements).

  104. I’ve got several Puma shirts and shoes so it’s hard for me to pick a favorite from the site. I could really use a light running jacket and I like orange so the one you’re wearing in this post would be my pick!

  109. Im recently recovering from illness and looking good in a new outfit would help to get motivated

  113. I really like the Tech Performance Seamless Jacket for my wife. It’s getting really cold here.

  116. I’d happily wear any of the pieces. Btw, I feel the same way about short shorts in the gym. 🙂

  128. I couldn’t get your link to work, but from the Puma site I really like the T7 Track Jacket. Cute and functional!

  142. I would like these pants–http://www.shop.puma.com/Poly-Track-Pants/pna818307,en_US,pd.html&cgid=51220#!i%3D13%26color%3D23%26sz%3D30%26start%3D0
