[speaker001:] well I'm not much on colors for every right season I kind of wear whatever I want to wear um
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I uh I buy workout clothes um I'm into fitness a lot and so I I spend money on that that gets kind of expensive
[speaker002:] do you wear those um Lycra fitness clothes
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] one of my house mates has some of those things
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] uh-huh she seems to like them because they stretch a lot and and give a lot when she rows
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh did she she rose oh that's interesting
[speaker002:] um-hum rowing is a real popular fitness activity in here Philadelphia
[speaker001:] on my goodness well do are you into working out or anything
[speaker002:] not very much my main focus right now is getting my dissertation finished and so my workouts tend to be limited to going swimming
[speaker001:] oh right well what kind of clothes do you wear to work or to school
[speaker002:] to school I generally wear blue jeans and uh depending on the temperature a sweater and then uh a cotton polo shirt
[speaker001:] um-hum is the weather pretty cold
[speaker002:] it's been pretty cold lately it's snowing today
[speaker001:] oh my goodness it it's probably about sixty uh sixty five degrees here
[speaker002:] it  oh I would trade
[speaker001:] yeah it reached eighty degrees two days ago and I was in shorts and a T-shirt and I went running
[speaker002:] oh my goodness
[speaker001:] uh yeah and I had the wrong shoes I've just started running I I been into weigh lifting and all and I just started running and I had the wrong tennis shoes
[speaker002:] oh now tell me about the tennis shoes for running and how what a difference that makes
[speaker001:] well um I found out what a difference it makes I just had regular walking shoes that I was running in
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and it didn't give me the support I needed I had too much shock and too much jolting on my knees and my ankles and my joints and my lower back
[speaker002:] do you go running down the sidewalk or down the street
[speaker001:] oh well um down the sidewalks and uh on the side on the grass the side roads
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but um I was running on the track and it's just carpet with uh a little thin thing of padding and then concrete and in those tennis shoes I had Reebok's on and
[speaker002:] um-hum oh really
[speaker001:] yeah Reebok walking shoes and they just did not do the job at all so about a week after I started running my shin started hurting I got shin splints so I went to The Athlete a shoe store here in Tyler and tried on several different pairs of shoes I tried Asics and uh Nike Air and uh New Balance and some different type of tennis shoes that are running
[speaker002:] right um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh finally got some Nike Air because they have the the air pockets in the front and the back
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and I didn't think that it would make any difference you know I thought well that's just a sales pitch you know and Nike's real expensive because they're always putting out new things and you just pay for the brand
[speaker002:] right right
[speaker001:] but I tried on I compared the way that felt to all the other brands and the prices difference difference wasn't that much you know maybe ten dollars difference
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and so I finally bought some Nike Air Skylon 2 and so it it they just are wonderful it it I can run further now because I'm not in pain
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh right now my housemate's boyfriend just got he's training for a marathon and he just got some
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] some Nike Air shoes and he says that you can also run a lot further in those because you save a lot of more energy
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh sure
[speaker002:] my shoes I just got some new ones my old ones had blown out and my new ones are Reebok basketball shoes
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] I picked them out mainly because they were on a big sale
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] my shoes are blue so the uh
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] the blue shoes the green shoes and the red shoes were about about fifteen dollars or a little bit more than fifteen dollars less than the white shoes
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] so I went ahead and got a blue pair of sneaks
[speaker001:] oh well that's good
[speaker002:] so at my house one of my old housemate's I was just was watching her give a talk over at the business college yesterday she's um looking for a permanent job right now but she
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] um was talking about loss aversion which is when you hate to give something up
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] that you already have so
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] somebody like you that's used to having good quality sneaks would really hate to give up um good quality sneaks for a better price but somebody like me who's not used to having good quality sneaks would hate to pay more for better quality sneaks
[speaker001:] uh-huh right well now when it comes to clothing like above the ankles
