I may look silly, but I can run circles around you.

I’m officially one of those people.

You know the type. The freak in the gym who is too good for regular running shoes. The weirdo wearing those newfangled sneakers that look like gloves for feet. The pompous exercising hippy who thinks that aired soles and gelled cushioning do more harm than good.

The fashion victim on the treadmill.

Call me what you will---oddball, sasquatch, nerd. Just know that this tool in her freaky fingered shoes will run circles around you.

I love these damn shoes. Even if they’re ugly. Besides, I’m not really concerned about how I look in the gym. I’m concerned about how I look outside of it. And I don’t plan on wearing my monkey paws to the store.

Yet.
