DH Running Funny

[emilyj]

My H and I are currently training for a HIM, which means we are running more.  This is the conversation we had the other night, which I figured most of you would appreciate:

DH: My feet and shins are aching.  I think I might need to get new running shoes.
Me: When did you buy those?
DH: Right before our honeymoon.

Our honeymoon was in May of 2011.  I kind of wanted to strangle him.  Instead, I sent him to our LRS so he could get analyzed.

MEN.

I could totally see Calvin saying that. Calvin supposedly tracks his miles by writing hash marks on the sole of his shoes - which is fine and well, except THEY RUB OFF. I tried to get him to go to the LRS and eventually gave up. He'll go if he wants to, and in the mean time isn't doing major mileage.

Haha. That is funny. Men are weird.

It's amazing how my H could care less about how his shoes that he wears for fitness activities look or feel. He will buy the ugliest, UGLIEST pair of shoes just because they're cheap and wears them for years and years and years.

LOL!!

That's funny. My DH thinks he needs new shoes every 100 miles. But will NOT buy a new pair of dress shoes to wear to work. Gah.

That sounds like my DH. He doesn't do a lot of running, but when he does, he goes in spurts. He'll complain about his knees bothering him, but when I suggest he go to our LRS for a fitting, he insists his shoes are fine. I can't win.

Haha! That kind of sounds like how I used to be, I have since learned the error of my ways.

My H is the opposite. He always thinks that he needs new shoes:

'But I wore them on vacation and we walked a lot.'

'I weigh a lot so mine last like half as long as yours.' (He is only like 210 lbs not like 410 lbs...)

'DD stepped on them and they look dirty.'
