I was cleaning out my closet recently and came across the dusty Adidas spikes that I last wore in May 1999 at IC4As. This made me wonder. . I haven't ran a competitive race in almost 10 years. I've packed up and moved 9 times since then. Each move, I purge almost half of my possessions. Why then do I still own these Adidas spikes?
I thought this was kinda strange and worth some laughs so I shared it with my friends via facebook status. Here are a couple of the responses I got:
Stacey's comment made me wonder. Could this be true? Do most college runners hold on to their spikes regardless of how unlikely it is that they'll ever wear them again? And if so. .why must we do this?? I have my theories but am curious to find out other's thoughts.
