As I posted in my race report, I have fallen out of love with my shoes. To be more specific, my Mizuno Wave Riders. I tried. I really did. I've been running in WRs for at least 3 versions. If you've been reading this blog for awhile (are there any left?), then you'll know that I've been kind of a shoe whore before that. I really thought that this relationship would last.
Beyach.
They look cool, but they feel weird walking around. Strangely enough, they feel less weird when I start running. I'm not about to tell you about how the forefoot cushioning blah blah blah and the upper doesn't caress my yackety yack. I don't know any of that technical stuff. All I know is that they just don't feel right.
"So buy some new ones you idiot!" some would beckon.
"Because I don't want to, moron!" I would retort.
I can't return them and they're too damn uncomfortable for mowing. Looks like they'll go back to the recycling pile along with some old Mizunos. Ones that served me well in the past.
Holy Lord, this is the worst post of all time. I apologize. I would just delete the whole thing, but I said I was going to write more this summer. Just didn't clarify that some (most?) of it would be crap.

Hi shoe whore! I love crap writing, it's all I know how to do. I am in the Mizunos too and wonder when that love story will end. I've also been running in Pear Izumis - ever give those a try? Great shoe. Especially for a whore.
You could try selling them on eBay? I used to buy discontinued shoes that way.
This moron says, "go buy new shoes, you idiot!"
My feelings on Mizunos are well documented. They're almost as bad as this post. Almost.
Fortunately, your history has us expecting this kind of post quality so, really, you didn't disappoint. More like 'living up to expectations'.
Now that we are done talking about your shoes, can we discuss your toothpaste for awhile?
I actually really enjoyed that post. Keep up the good work.
