New Footprint For London Marathon


The new addition in my running shoes collection


My new pair of shoes just arrived from Malaysia. The roads in London would be having the footprint of Saucony Grid Trigon 4 Ride on April 22. Now I have three pairs of running shoes to train on. The cushion for the earlier two pairs have already worn out and exceeded the maximum 600km mark. The new pair would be just right for the London Marathon!

The reason I bought it from Malaysia and sent it over here was because it's still cheaper even with the postage and I get to help my running friend, Choi, (who's also selling the shoe) to close a sale! Yay!

I am really impressed by the delivery time it took to arrive here. It was sent out on Tuesday evening and it arrived today, less than a week! Thanks to Irene for coordinating the delivery.

On hindsight, I felt a little guilty for the high carbon footprint in doing that. But I guess I am just doing what ordinary people would be doing and it boils down to the economics of product pricing and common sense after all. Economics of pricing...hmm, I guess I shouldn't be using all these jargons here. You really can't blame me if you look at the photo close enough to what I've been doing here....

Is there such thing as shoe porn?

HAHAHA! Shoe porn! Does it fill you with the desire for new shoes? If yes, then shoe porn it is!

Yap! It's 3088.. said...

Now I have three pairs of shoes. The oldest is barely two years old. Have to make them work for other sources of income; porn could be one;)
