QOTD: How many pairs of shoes do you buy in a normal year?
I usually buy 3 pair of shoes.

Got in 9.8 miles. Wore my Bondis. Didn't think that would be a problem since I was running on part gravel, part paved roads. Turned out some of them were mud roads. Found out how slippy and sticky Texas mud can be. Saw a really nice deer but couldn't tell if it was a buck or a doe. Wind was steady at about 15-20 mph with higher gusts, temp was mid 70s and humid. Needles to say I did a lot of plodding along with far too many walk breaks.
QOTD: I bought one pair last year and one pair this year so far. I'm kind of overstocked on shoes so I may not need any more this year unless I decide to buy a pair for the gym. A few years ago I bought 3-4 pair. With my Hokas lasting 700-1000 miles an me only running about 1200-1500 miles a year I don't need too many.
8 this morning. Got a good scare when a dog come running out of the dark full steam right at me then jived just missing me. After I got done screaming like a little girl I realized thw little dog wa scared out of his mind and must of been lost. He was way out in coyote country with no houses anywhere close. I tried to catch him but with Mr Jangles beside me i couldn't get close and ended up leaving him alone in the dark, he wouldn't follow. Felt bad but i had to go and get to work. Hopefully he'll find his way home.
QOTD; really??? that's a hell of a question. I can't answer cause the wife might see it, it would be like tattling on myself.
9 miles this afternoon. Got to my hotel, took a little nap and then went for a run. Headed west along the Thames for 4.5 miles than came back. On the way back I zig-zagged over the bridges between the south and north banks.
qotd: I guess 2 or sometimes 3 pair per year.
2/17/24 - Forgotten Florida 100 Mile, Christmas, FL
No run to post yet but after a chilly weekend milder here today so there will be some running after work. I really need to kick myself in the pants and get away from this slog-like running pace. Yesterday I did my Sunday loop at French Creek (I haven't ran that loop in quite some time, it's hard!!) and swear I forgot how to run on rocks and tricky terrain. Mostly just shuffled about. Thankfully I forgot my watch so did not have an actual known slow time for the loop. Phew.
QOTD: 5 or 6 pairs maybe? I keep at least 2 trails shoes in the rotation and one road shoe.
In dog beers, I've only had one.
rest day here too. I'll get in some strength work in later.
Sandy-- that looks to be quite the interesting run. Envious.
qotd: 1-2. I've already bought 2 pairs since christmas, so I should be good for a while. Regardless, my hobby is significantly less $ than DH's so I don't stress about it too much.

I am going to attempt to up my mileage from my near 0 mileage running. Maybe 3 miles tonight after I take DD out on a date.
Gator - so your DW would see this post but not see your shoes? Where/how do you hide them?
QOTD: Not sure I have an average per year. It all depends on what I am training for. Nothing at the moment so I will hold pat for a while. I have (4) pair in rotation at various mileage and conditions. But somehow I now feel the urge to go take a peek at what deals are out there. Thanks a lot LB2!!!!!!!
Have a great night!
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
running under the BigSky
squeezed in some good training this weekend- 6.5 miles with about 1500' of gain through snow, ice, slush and mud with a 40 lb pack! yesterday a nice 12 miles

qotd: probably 3-4 pairs, like to rotate shoes; have already surpassed this number this year with the announcement from PI that they would no longer be making running shoes- stocking up
2023 goal 2023 miles √

They have some good deals on Hoka's on runningwarehouse right now. I just bought some Stinsons, and I am having a hard time not going back in and getting a pair of Speedgoats. I will resist the urge, though.
one of my buddies has a pair of Speedgoats- he raves about them!

I was wondering about the daily title and then saw the first post was at 1:52 pm. We're just a late crew today.
Walking night for me. Hope to do 5 miles at quick pace while DW is at chorus.
Sandy - say 'ello to the Queen for me. We just finished steaming The Crown, and I have a new respect for her.
QOTD: Have 4-5 in regular rotation. Use is depending on the terrain that I am running, since shoes some have no rock protection and some are terrible for logging roads, etc. Probably buy 4 pairs per year, but will stock up like I did when Inov8 stopped making my favorite TrailRoc shoe last year.
