It's Not You. It's Me.

Hey, turns out TIART read the post I've been working on and they've decided to have everyone chip in! I'm that influential. Here goes:

See, here's the deal. We've been going out for a long time. I mean, 400 miles is a huge commitment for me. I just don't know how long you and I can keep this up. Yes, you were there for me during my first and only marathon. That's why I'll never stop loving you. If you want, we can still be friends. And when I say "friends" I mean, you can be my lawn mowing shoes.

It's that time again. Time when I start dating. I had cleverly...nay, brilliantly posted something like this before. Rather than be creative, I'll just keep the same theme going (a.k.a. - beating the dead horse).

My Asics Landreths were a nice shoe. They were, but it's time to see what else is out there. I'm becoming aware that I'm a Shoe Playa*. Maybe that "one shoe" just isn't out there. I think I'll just play the field. If you look good and make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, you're the one for me....

...for now, at least.

If it works out, I'll keep dating you, your sister, your niece, etc. Kind of a family thing. If not, you're off to be donated. See? I'm not a complete a-hole. I'm a giver that way.

*yeah, I went street. Yo.

Sure, we're ALL playas until one day we meet that One Special Shoe...she's out there for you, too! Just wait. You'll be monoshoemous in no time. (Did that work? Monogamous + shoe? No? Oh, well.)

Haha I've found my one special shoe. We've been together for almost three years now. Even the gleam of Under Armour shoes couldn't rip me away. It would take a lot to get me to cheat on my Mizunos

You're such a ho, Razz.

A ho and a poser. O-Town in da house!

You're not a playa' until you've had 2 different shoes at the same time.

My word verification is dahor.

You want to be "friends with benefits" with your old shoes. Just admit it. There's nothing to be ashamed of; we've all been there. I have a pair of FWB shoes in my closet right now. I pay them a booty call from time to time.

I've been shoe-monogamous for nearly four years. I married the first pair I was introduced to!

As long as you go to the running store on a day you have some time to kill ... it's usually kind of fun to try a bunch of shoes against each other in search of the perfect one!

Yes, just like most relationships, sometimes they just get all tired and worn out.

YES, I feel the EXACT same way. Except my shoes are sort of abusive. You know, in the stained wife beater kind of a way... But I just can’t find the energy to leave them. I keep making excuses like:

I’m sure all of other shoes hurt me like these do
I’m sure it is something that I’m doing wrong
Maybe if I treated them better things wouldn’t have to be like this
