I think my girlfriend and I are running neck and neck at about 50 pairs each.
Ah, I see. If you have a hobby which involves using a particular item of clothing, I guess it is understandable that you would have more. Even still... 50. I'm making a large assumption here, but are you in the US? I've heard that trainers are a lot cheaper there. I certainly couldn't afford to buy that many here in the UK. OK, so mine were quite cheap (�12/$22), but many decent running trainers would cost about �40-80 ($76-$152). 50 of those would be quite an investment, unless done over a long time period.I normally run in...

my girlfriend is obsessed with "cuteness" (which she interprets as heels) and only has 3-4 pair of flats. I don't think she has any concept of a comfortable shoe.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Unless you really suck at it. Then, you might just want to try something else, if you dont' want to be a loser I mean.
