Shoes! It's Always the Shoes

I'm off to NY. I have to get in a cab in 15 minutes. I'm still packing. . .

Are five pairs of shoes too many to take? I want to have options. And some of them are for work. And I need different heel heights in shoes and boots, depending on the pants, the jeans, the skirt.

Do running shoes have to count? If I don't take stuff to work out in, then I feel like I'm admitting that there's no way I'll exercise. But I've gone on so many trips with running shoes, which take up a lot of space, and not worked out once. . .

Yikes! I just need to decide and go. Yay! NYC!!!
