So cheap (dumb?) it hurts
So...this is me being stupid (and knowing I am stupid, but somehow cannot STOP self from being stupid):
Last year I ran a marathon. Because I was getting black toenails in the shoes I was running in, I went to a specialty running store where they fitted me up with some nice running shoes. They were not cheap. But black toes nails stopped, and life was wonderful (well, other than the ACTUAL running, but that's besides the point)
On the other hand, I have done step for a VERY long time. I love step. I heart step. I used to do step all the time, and when I was training for the marathon, I did step on my off days. In other words, I do A LOT of step.
People have said that running shoes should only be used for running. And since I paid quite a bit of money for my running shoes, I ONLY use those shoes for running (e.g., no step).
But the problem came when I needed to get new step shoes. Since I paid much moolah for the running shoes, I COULD NOT (mental road block or something) pay a lot for my step shoes. SO. I bought a pair of generic running shoes to do step in. And because of that, EVERY FREAKING DAY I DO STEP, I GET A NEW BLISTER.
I have at least 3-4 blisters on each foot. And they are big, sometimes red, most times filled, and really uncomfortable. And this has been happening for...oh...six (eight?) months or so. Maybe more. And somehow, every time I come out of step class wincing in pain, I tell myself I am an idiot (and that I should get new shoes), but somehow SOMEHOW, so many months later, I AM STILL FREAKING WEARING THE SAME SHOES.
Sometimes, my cheapness scares me.
