Today ended the kids' spring break, so with just my youngest at home I've been getting some (much needed) house work done. As I was getting ready to vacuum our bedroom and saw this:
I realized we may have a problem! ;) Anyone who knows me well, knows that I can't stand clutter and (typically) keep my home pretty dang neat and tidy. So how has it come to this? Between my husband and I, both of us with a rotation of running shoes and a closet that is teeny-tiny, I have no where to keep the shoes where we can conveniently grab them and go...except here, apparently. I need to figure something else out. I'd love to hear any of your storage solutions!
Which brings me to today's question:
"How many pairs of running shoes do you currently have?"
I have a total of 7. Two pairs that have well over 1000 miles on them and should probably be thrown away, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Another pair that I bought on clearance last year, wore them for a few training runs and 1 marathon, but they're not my favorite, so I got new ones to replace them. 1 pair of trail running shoes, which are actually 1/2 size too small to wear on runs longer than 5 or 6 miles, so I mostly use them for hiking and camping. And finally, my three favorite pairs, my ASICS. My old pair of Nimbus 13's that also have over 1000 miles on them and holes in the top where my toes push up when I run (which I now use for just everyday wear). Then I have my new ones which are the exact same shoes, and a pair of ASICS Gel-Kinsei's that I bought used on eBay to rotate with my new Nimbus 13's. Phew. Please tell me I'm not the only one with a running shoe fetish?!
