Worse than a Woman

February 19th, 2007

I have lots of shoes, probably an embarassing amount. Not only that but I have a lot of shoes for running. Granted you only need to wear one pair at a time.

I have six pairs of running shoes. Although to make it fair, one pair is now retired, and two pairs are for trail type running.

Obsession

You're supposed to replace your shoes every 300-500 miles, here's what my old shoes looked like. You can tell when they are getting bad by the creases in the foam.

And what shoes should look like, these are my current running shoes with only 30-40 miles on them.

    Probably my most distinct memory of living with you is all your shoes.

    You can never have too many running shoes, although after mine run their course (running shoes to running errands shoes to mowing the lawn shoes to painting shoes) they usually get thrown away. But ONLY after they’ve lived a full and wonderful life.

    wow, it brings back memories of living with you in Dinkytown, except you ran a lot more back then, oh, wait a second.

    Well of course you’re worse than a woman. All men are. It’s why we put so much effort into upgrading from male roommates to female ones. Eric, Eric, Eric. I’m glad we had this talk.

    That looks like a lot less shoes then you normally have sitting out.

    What are those hideous red and yellow ones on the end? I’m astounded you’d wear something so unfashionable.

    Marsh: Yeah kind of crazy eh? I seem to remember the same pair when I was at your place though.
