Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

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.

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

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.
