*eyes widen* Donald Ritchie just died - man he was amazing at running long distances
gpt
*leans slightly forward* He was. He set many world records!
human
I cannot imagine running for 24 hours straight like he set records doing!
gpt
Me either! I'm really not fond of running. Speaking of sports, did you know ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of shoes per week?
human
Yes that is a lot of money!  I wonder why 5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shoes?
gpt
*body relaxes* I'm guessing they were just made with better materials, though i'm not sure. I wonder what the first shoe was made out of.
human
*leans forward* I am not sure.  I do know I always stick dry tea bags in my sons shoes - they stink and it helps with the odor
gpt
*smiles* Seems like a pretty good idea. My son also has really stinky shoes!
human
I need to buy him more of Stephen Marbury's shoes - they were only $15 and he was actually paid to not endorse them
gpt
Hm, that's interesting. Who is Stephen Marbury? 
human
He is a well known NBA player.  I like Steve Smith as well - he is an NFL player who leaves his cleats on the field after every game to raise awareness of the homeless
gpt
That's a really cool thing for him to do. Do you travel much?
human
I love to travel though I am not sure of going 160 miles per hour on a bus in the Netherlands!
gpt
*laughs* That seems pretty scary. I heard talk of them making a really fast mode of transportation like that in America too.
human
But no on Mackinac Island - only bicycles or horse drawn carriages
gpt
I'm sure its very peaceful there. I walk a lot and one thing I hate are cars whizzing past me! 
human
No doubt.  In Iceland people without cars have to fly - there are no trains there
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I'm sure that could get pretty annoying when visiting. In Japan the highway tolls can cost more than 300$ to travel across country! 
human
Yes I have been to Japan!  Everything is expensive there!  I wonder if it was back when King Kalakaua traveled the world?
gpt
I've always wanted to visit Japan! I wonder what the king thought of places in Asia and Europe.
