You remember Imelda Marcos? Wife of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos?
She had 2700 pairs of shoes.
I have, probably, less than 1% of that number. Yes, I have fewer than 27 pairs of shoes. But it's close. I'm probably pushing close to 20 pair.
And most of them are running shoes.
Which really isn't that surprising--at least to me.
What kind of boggles my mind is this: I have probably 7 pairs of running shoes that I currently rotate through. Some are road shoes and others are trail shoes, but still.
There was a time, not so long ago, that I was rotating 1 pair of shoes. Which means there was no rotation. I wore the same pair of running shoes day in and day out until they wore out.
So what happened?
Has less than 1% of me been taken over by the spirit of Imelda?
