Have you ever watched that show Hoarding on TLC? Personally the commercials are enough to gross me out so I have not seen an entire show. There is a very clear reason David and I do not collect things…we like things picked up and in their place. This could be another reason we don’t have kids..hmmm.
But I digress…I am growing concerned that I am developing a new hoarding habit. Running Shoes. When I started out there just one pair, then two as I heard the idea you should rotate if you run every day, then three as I heard you shouldn’t use your running shoes for walking, then four as I needed a new pair to be ready as a pair was nearing the end…then well I don’t know what happened!
3 pairs of Saucony’s (Kinvara 2 and 3, Triumph)
1 pair of Asics - for cross training
2 pairs of Mizuno’s (different models)
1 pair of K-Swiss Blades
1 pair of Nike Free (the first and last in years)
1 pair of Adidas barefoot shoes
1 pair of Pearl Izumi Streak
1 pair of Cloud Runner
It’s not that I’m on the quest for the perfect shoe, I really do like my Saucony Kinvara’s a lot…but see you need at least two pairs to rotate through and then a pair just for walking and a pair for cross training and then the others are for…in case you decide one pair doesn’t work any more!
Do you collect anything? How many shoes do you have? I really am going to give some of these to Soles for Souls soon…it’s just so hard!

Gratitude Journal

I am grateful for an amazingly cool morning in KC to enjoy a run before hoping on plane all day.
