You and your girl been spending too much time on the couch, and it’s starting to show? Get up and run somewhere.

Yeah, I know. Running is hard. It takes effort. And it can kick your ass. But it’ll burn off some of those Krispy Kremes you’ve been shoving in your face. And clear out some of the sludge collecting in your arteries. To get you started on the health track I’m going to give one of you a pair of 8509 performance running shoes from New Balance. And a pair for your girl, to take away any excuse you may have for sitting there watching your waistline grow bigger than Will Ferrell’s ego.

The newest addition to New Balance’s line, the 8509 is built with runners in mind. It’s got an innovative new design that uses their NB ZIP cushioning with strategically located, shock absorbing struts for a more comfortable ride. And better return in every step, making for maximum output in your workout. With maximum comfort.

To win the his and hers 8509s, just enter your email here. You can get more info on the shoes on New Balance’s site, www.newbalance.com.

And while your clicking around, check out the LOVE/hate TV spots that focus on people’s relationships with running. The first one is called “Shower” and it shows a guy who just had his ass handed to him by Running. See it here.
