I've noticed recently that my shoes--which I bought in September (I think)--are almost ready for the garbage. The seams are split down the sides, so they don't really keep snow out. I didn't really think much about it until yesterday, when I was talking with my dad.
I realized that both of us like to walk a lot--we have so much more in common that I've even told one person that we're the same person, except that he can grow a beard--so I started to think about how much I walk in a normal day.
I notice that if I walk 2 miles and climb 10 flights of stairs (one flight of stairs here having the definition of traveling up one floor) in a day, I've been lazy. For example, today I've walked a little over a mile and climbed 16 flights of stairs already, and I anticipate walking another two miles and climbing 13 more flights of stairs--at the very least. Mondays aren't the best "average" day though, as I tend to climb a lot of stairs on those days--laundry adds 3 flights, MMP adds half a mile and 6 flights, and MMM adds another mile and 6 flights from other days. Tuesday isn't a good "average" day either--connection group adds 2 miles of walking and 4 flights of stairs.
Maybe this kind of thing is why shoes give out so quickly--and at least part of the reason I've lost 70 pounds in the last 24 weeks. Oh well. I hate wearing shoes anyway.
