    I have 30 pairs of Adidas trainers. Not one of which have ever been used in anger.

    The minute I hit post, I second-guessed the seriousness of it all. Guess I'm in that late-day office funk...struggling today after the holiday. Hope I wasn't too much of a buzz-kill.

    Carry on with the frivolity!

    Oh, no, having someone take the thread seriously adds to the humor. :laugh:

    Especially when they realize it and take it gracefully so we can all laugh with them. Because that's more polite than laughing at them and makes us feel a little better about the laughter. :flowerforyou:

    Why do runners even feel the need to put any pictures up about their running or even talk about it.. like 'oh look at me, i'm so cool, i'm a runner". Just burns me up that they do that.

    Dang anorexic shoes. We need some boots.

    I like big boots and I cannot lie; big boots just add to the runner's high...

    BIG BOOTS! BIG BOOTS! Breakdown!

    What's the difference in being proud of running and posting a picture of that and being proud of your bikini body and posting a picture of that?

    You're better than I am--I get pi$$ed off each and every time I use mine! :laugh:

    and profile pics of them with running shoes on?

    Isn't there perhaps a more modest way to show off the fact that they run?


    :P

    We can't all have profile pics as awesome as yours....

    Crap. I'm a runner and I don't think I've posted my shoes on here. Let me work on it. I have red ones, purple ones and fuchsia & yellow ones. They def deserve to be showcased. You need to know how cool my way of life of running is. Thank you for letting me know that I def wasn't a runner yet bc my shoes have not been involved!!!!

    Running is highly offensive unless you are being chased with an evil clown carrying a bloody butcher knife...
