When you are on a training run and accidently soak your foot in a puddle, do you purposely step in another so it feels less weird? Or do you just run with one wet foot? I've always done the former. It just seems less irritating to have two wet feet than one wet and one completely dry.
Are you the guy who also kicks his calf to balance things out?
I hope you never get kicked in only one testicle.

haha, yeah, that's what made me think of it. And no, I certainly hope I don't get kicked in one testicle. Yikes.
You may have a minor form of OCD.
I do the same thing.

It's probably genetic. When I pleasure one of your mother's mammaries, she always wants me to do the other one, too, "so it feels less weird". Likewise, if I give it to her from behind, she always wants me to go from the front - "to even things out".
Lol this is actually pretty funny.
I just stop and pee on the other foot instead of doing something stupid like wasting my time trying to find another puddle.
Genius.
I don't step in a puddle with my other foot. It does however irritate the crap out of me and I always consider getting the other foot wet to even it out. Ultimately I don't though because I am much more likely to get a blister without noticing if my foot is wet. I end up sacrificing some short term comfort to reduce the chance of a blister.
I do the same thing! I know it's dumb. Last weekend on my long run, my left sock had a hole in the back that rubbed a bad blister on my Achilles. I had to stop mid-run to take off my sock so it wouldn't hurt as bad. Of course I had to take off my right sock too to feel balanced. Well, that was a mistake because I then got a couple of blisters on my right foot from wearing shoes without socks.
Yeah, I intentionally soaked my dry shoe just last week. The wet-dry thing always annoys me too.
I do this all the time. Also, if it's very wet and rainy and I know ultimately I am going to step in a puddle even if I try to dodge them for a while, I just run through the first big puddle I see to avoid the anxiety
No, never. You're one strange dude.
Would a good steepler get used to running with one foot more wet than the other, or would the splashing end up soaking the non-landing foot as well?
I think I'd try to avoid soaking my other foot, but i'd be much less careful about it if i had already soaked the first. Hmmm...i don't know what I would do if i came to a puddle too large to jump across and knew I would have to take one step in it. Do I soak the wet foot again, or the dry one. I think I would keep the dry foot dry.
about 10 years ago, I sprained an ankle pretty badly and when I started back training, I would have the trainer tape my good ankle (though looser than the bad one). I can't remember if the trainers thought of that as a waste of time or not.
