I decided to start a Fitness & Spice Bucket List, you know, the stuff I want to do before I kick the bucket.
This is what I have on my bucket list so far…
Design a gym bag-purse. The world needs a stylish, sporty, hybrid-handbag they can take to the gym when they don’t need to swim, change clothes, or shower. Just a small bag to carry the essentials like your keys, iPod, cell phone, fitbook, gym membership card, a bottle of water, lip gloss, Wordlock, and gum. Coach? If you’re listening, call me! We can work on crossing this one off my list together.
Write a book. Even if no one reads it, I want to write it. Did I just say that out loud?! Moving on to…
Gym shoe designer. I love a getting new workout shoes. Just lacing up new shoes puts a spring into the step of any workout, especially if they are wicked cool like the ones pictured here. These shoes were designed last year by Melanie Oudin, tennis-superstar. Notice on the side of the shoe the word BELIEVE is embroidered? This year she designed a new shoe that says COURAGE. How great is that?!
I guess I can cross gym shoe designer off my Bucket List pretty soon because now all sorts of brands are allowing you to customize shoes online. I started to design a red, white, and back shoe for the Fitness & Spice team online at miadidas.com yesterday and it was really quite fun.
You can customize just about every inch of the shoe right down to the shoelaces. And! You can have a word embroidered on the side, just like Melanie. Of course I wanted the words FITNESS & SPICE but I got an error message in return saying the word “spice” was naughty. Their word, not mine. So I went with PATIENCE instead because sometimes I forget to be patient and a little reminder can’t hurt.
Now I really must go order those shoes, I think they’ll be great for kicking the bucket (list)!

September 3rd 2010I designed my own NIKE shoxs before and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Mine had the colors of gray, black and blue. I also had my name on the back of my shoe to set them as “amanda” shoes. ha ha
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says:
September 3rd 2010Ooh, I love the idea of customized shoes!!! I’m going to check the site out!
Heather (Where's the Beach) says:
September 3rd 2010How cool. Hmm, maybe try to use both pink and blue and black as those are the colors of most of my workout clothes. Matching is important.
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says:
September 3rd 2010I mentioned this on Twitter, but if you need a Coach gym bag tester–I’m here for you. I’ll use it for a good 5 years just to make sure it holds up. ;)

steph says:
September 3rd 2010I love my Asics, but seriously they need you to redesign something new next season – classic Asics, better colors. Hot pink Kayanos please. Good post !
juliejulie says:
September 3rd 2010LOVE these ideas! I want to design a line of Chubby Mommy Running Club workout clothes that FIT and look cute and fun at the same time. I hadn’t even thought of shoes. Wow. Now my brain is spinning with possibility.

September 3rd 2010Never Give Up and Age is Just a Number might be appropriate for me!
The Candid RD says:
September 5th 2010I would design a shoe that doesn’t give me calluses! I would also make the shoe a gray color, with purple stripes. I like off-white/gray shoes because the dirt doesn’t show up as nicely (or badly, I guess).
Those shoes above are awesome! I don’t like the yellow dolor though. I need some good arch supports too. Did I mention that?! This is fun!
Have a great LONG weekend Joanna.
Eunice says:
September 5th 2010Oooooooh. My shoes would be light gray with hot pink and electric blue accents. As far as the words, I’d probably do something like HAWT

September 5th 2010Write your book. You have a point of view that needs to be heard. And I can put you in touch with my literary agent who will guide you through the process if you wish. She rocks. ;-)

September 7th 2010Those shoes in the pic are waaaaay cool! Hmmm… if I designed shoes, mine would say “Don’t Give Up” I think…
