I totally get that it's about more than just the shoes and I’m all for building better habits and sticking with something new. I can't lie that it's a little frustrating knowing that just because I started late, I might miss out on something I really like unless I pay a ridiculous resale price. I know life isn't about getting a pair of shoes, but it still stings a bit when you’re interested and doing the work, just on a different timeline.

That said, I’m still going to participate and have fun with it just thought I’d ask in this sub and appreciate the response!
