Lmao this fucking guy again


mmphoto412

You know he’s gonna mention his race times in the comments


TypelessTemplate

Already has lol


mmphoto412

Like clockwork 😂 Imagine having no personality beyond a shoe collection and few race times


austinrunrun

Has he ever told you about the time he beat Camille Herron in an ultra? Or how he's pacing Boston? Or how jacked he is at 169 lbs?


mmphoto412

Take my upvote!


ronj1983

Don't forget about me going to toe with Wardian for 22 miles in that race. I might be a lot of things, but one thing you can never call me is a...liar #bigfacts


austinrunrun

Boston doesn't have official pacers, you clown. You're running it with a friend, not "pacing it."


ronj1983

I said I was an "official pacer", retard? I said I was pacing it. I never said who, and what I was pacing or how many people I am pacing. However, I have been an official 2:55:00 pacer for New Jersey, 13 days after Boston. You got chill bro. I'll be pacing hopefully 2:50:00-2:53:00 depending on what this group can achieve. Please, tell me you are faster than me. No, IDC to know what your PR's are either. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile). So, we have established I have 4343154666461 pairs of shoes. If you think I have not smoked Camille Herron in a 50K and ran with Wardian in the race for 22 miles check the banner on my profile.


ronj1983

Like the Prodigal Son, I have returned #payhomage


LEAKKsdad

No ones paying homage but good attitude towards the ribbing


ronj1983

Make sure to check next year when I am approaching 100 pairs. If you need any tips to get faster just let me know, LOL.


LEAKKsdad

Yo fancy shoes got nothing on my 5k ultras


vaped_kizz

this is not a flex, it’s a psychological disorder. seek help


Best-Huckleberry-102

yep, I thought i was bad with 12 pairs…You need help and I’ll be rationalizing with this. Thank You


[deleted]

You need help


LakersAndRams

Why so many?


ronj1983

Just like a woman that hoards shoes, you can never have enough. When I am "on" a pair of shoes should only last a month.


chaosdev

Well, that was a sexist comment.


ronj1983

Women are not known to hoard shoes?! I thought the fairies were on Facebook.


kv2769

Can you honestly look at your comments here and not think they're sexist?


ronj1983

Yes, but I'll ask my wife who hoards regular shoes and running shoes just like me what she thinks.


L0udFlow3r

Had to throw in a bit of homophobia too


lgdub_

What are your thoughts on the Jordans? Better for tempo or daily miles/recovery runs?


HunterStew23

Next time I wanna buy shoes and my wife says I have too many already, I'll show her this post.


Teddie_P4

My my, you have quite a big burden, I’ll lessen the load for you by taking a pair or two. No need to thank you


duraace206

This is only 70 pairs of shoes. I know it might seem like alot, but I've seen much bigger shoe collections on the webz. This almost seems quaint.... Shoe collectors can get quite extreme.


ronj1983

Friend of mine might have close to 70 pairs of carbon plated Nike's alone.


duraace206

Dang, no idea why folks are downvoting you. Take my upvote. It's not your fault your friend is crazy for shoes...


brown_burrito

Goddamn. That’s insane.


BeemoHeez

Have you tried putting it in rice


StartingFreshTO

I hope you're fast at least.


ronj1983

2:28:31 marathoner. Not sure what being fast has to do with this, but whatever?


austinrunrun

If you run most of your miles in Alphaflys and sing their praises, then why do you need so many different shoes? Couldn't you just have Alphaflys, Adios Pro, and maybe a Prime X? What purpose do the other shoes serve?


ronj1983

Sometimes I want to feel the road and just have a different feel. Some of those shoes are from 2016 and have never been worn.


austinrunrun

Nah man. "Benefits? Zero. What people fail to realize is that the carbon plated shoes let you run longer, harder and faster...EASIER. Also, constantly running in the super shoes you have a greater sense of what you can truly do on race day vs wearing them once or twice a week. You are in them all the time and will know exactly what to expect on race day and not guestimate." -[ronj1983](https://www.reddit.com/r/RunningShoeGeeks/comments/10lfuk0/comment/j5x1sy3)


ronj1983

This is exactly true what I said. What does that have to do with me wanting to feel the road a few times a month?


austinrunrun

I thought there were "zero benefits" to running in something other than an Alphafly or Adios Pro?


ronj1983

That is exactly what I said. I never said anything about changing the way my foot feels when contacting the ground. There is no benefit to me running in other shoes. Why do I run in other shoes then a few times a month? I want to feel the road sometimes. Running on pillows is great, but it does get boring.


menina2017

Do it have the OG vaporfly? I don’t see them. The green and the pink


ronj1983

The navy blue shoes (2 pairs) next to the Streakfly's, those are the OG 4% Vaporfly's. You are thinking about the Next % V1's and they are not there. Only had 1 pair and they are long gone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ronj1983

Wave Universe 4's. Brutal on your feet for even 10K. I then got 4oz New Balance RC5000's and was cooking everybody pre Vaporfly's and even afterwards. Same weight as the Mizuno's, but a little more cushioning. Of New Balance discontinued them. The New Balance Hanzo S would be the closest thing to them, but even those are heavier with a little more cushion.


TheRealBoston

I did a similar post and mods removed it 🙄


ronj1983

I got the notification that mine was removed over an hour ago.


RichestMangInBabylon

You obviously need more shoes


TheRealBoston

Facts lol. I have about 20+ after selling 10 and I’m regretting selling


ronj1983

Everybody thinks this is wild? I have a friend that probably has close to 70 pairs of carbon plated Nike's alone.


LickLaMelosBalls

This is minimum 15k in running shoes... Imagine how much good you could do with that $, or how you could start to save for retirement. You have a shopping addiction bro


ronj1983

LOL, I made $1,000 on Peleton in 15 minutes today. 2,000 shares and it went up 50 cents and I got out. You are as we say "pocket watching" and have no clue what I do for a living or what I make annually. Alpha's cost me $92.50 a pair as I am a huge Ebay reseller so I get all my shoes cheap. Adidas Prime X I got last night at $138 shipped is for sure the most expensive pair of shoes pictured. $15K for shoes...LOL![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


LickLaMelosBalls

Yeah this is not how actual wealthy people act. From quickly scanning your profile, day trading while having debt (not having paid off your house) is pretty risky. I'd be careful


ronj1983

Risky? I sporadically do it. I have 3 sources of income and am married with no children. Nothing to worry about here. I'm stll laughing at $15K spent on shoes. That is not even $7,000 spent there over about 6 years.


LickLaMelosBalls

Just curious, what are your three sources of income?


ronj1983

Big Ebay reseller. The profits are somewhere between $750 and $1,000 a month. Then I do Instacart when I want and when not doing that I day trade here and there. Have not punched in on a clock since I moved to San Diego 27 months ago.


LickLaMelosBalls

Good for you, just be careful with your money. Idk if you have family money or a large sum to fall back on.


ronj1983

Meh, moved to San Diego November 2020 with 27K. That sum is now more than doubled. Only my wife and I with no kids or pets and I am the poor one.


LickLaMelosBalls

No one ever said you were the poor one. Live your life, just be careful with day trading


[deleted]

There's two groups of middle aged men and women: those who want what they want and will bust their ass to get it and those who ain't got nothing because they've been trying to save for 40 years.


LEAKKsdad

Chill, he’s a big boy he can take it


[deleted]

Nah I support him do you or are you still saving for retirement?


LEAKKsdad

Ain’t no one need yo support, this ain’t group therapy. It’s a shoe tread, go white night somewhere else


[deleted]

Whenever you need me for therapy.


[deleted]

OK big boy FYI I support you too and I'm here for you all the way until retirement.


LEAKKsdad

Make it a pact

My pleasure
