Yesterday’s walk: I decided to do my annual walk around Lake Washington yesterday, but I added some more miles to it by walking from Factoria up to Newcastle and then down to Renton. Left the house at 4:28 am, returned at 11 pm sharp. I’m pretty sure that unless I had a gun to my head, this is the absolute most I can walk in a day. 112,004 steps, 53.9 miles.
@paulconstant how often do you replace your shoes?
@aaronbrethorst Quarterly, I think? I used to have to replace them more often when I wore Nike running shoes, but these Brooks shoes hold up really well.

@paulconstant @aaronbrethorst Although I don't take walks as long as you do, I got a pair of those Brooks trail shoes you wear after reading about your walk around Lake Washington last year where you mentioned them. They've held up well. Love the Gore-Tex aspect. Kind of halfway between running shoes and hiking boots. Agree that they've worn well.

They should give you an endorsement deal 🙂

@jakelondon @aaronbrethorst I keep trying different hiking sneaker brands and I always come back to Brooks. The lack of an endorsement deal only makes my love more pure! (Plus, if they ever lose quality like the other shoe brands I’ve loved, I want to be able to viciously turn on them.)
