Lunch- back on the horse.  8 miles.  Ankle is improving, but not perfect.

Got a pair of Hoka's in the mail today.  Not a fan of paying $100 for a pair of shoes (normally $160), but I gotta see what these things are all about.  Counting my 4 other shoes still in the box, I now have 20 pairs of still-active running shoes.  I need help.

Hmmm... I have not thought to count mine. Throwing away a pair of running shoes makes me sad though. I have actually thrown them away and then retrieved them from the can a couple hours later. I picture them cold, lonely, forgotten.

My name is Rob and I'm a shoeaholic.

Even though I have enough pairs for 2 or 3 years, I still buy more.

My name is Jon and I'm a shoeaholic.

My name is Justin and I too am a shoeaholic. I recently went through an intervention where I was forced to donate 5 pairs to Goodwill (all with 300-400 miles but still in decent shape). I still have 6 active pairs of running shoes.
