one time i went to an all running shoes shop to buy some new running shoes and he asked me what i had been rnning in and what i needed them for. i told him marathons and he advised me that i would never be able to finish a marathon because of my feet and the shoes i had were not good for a marathon and i would never make it thru. i never bothered telling him i had finished my first marathon the day before. "experts" have a tendency to power trip on **** like that.
