LACE UP THE NIKES...
LACE UP THE NIKES:
Def.
1. The course of action a woman takes when a man seems to be getting too close to her heart. 2. Running Away.
Most women don't even know when they are about to run away from an intimate relationship. To another runner, however, the Method and Means are easy to detect. The woman slowly and methodically begins to sabotage the relationship. The subterfuge is so complete she, herself, is surprised when the relationship goes up in flames.
Once it does, however, she uses the Opportunity to sprint away without blame.
Lacing up the Nikes is so prevalent in our society that as far back as 1978, Jazz musician Roy Ayers exposed the practice when he immortalized it in his song "Running Away"
"You've been mean to me and I've been good to you and I've been oh so true"
Now of course, all of this is subjective because while the woman may have been "Oh so true" she was also putting up, quickly and quietly, hurdles for her beau to clear. Listen to Roy sing:
"You don't do the things you used to do. You don't spend the time when I'm in need. We don't love each other like we used to. Can't you see I need YOU?"And every time he cleared a hurdle, she made sure the next hurdle was higher. In fact, to another runner the poor man looks like this:
Usually the woman wants to be married or at least in a committed relationship so her reason for destroying what she thought to be a wonderful pairing may remain a mystery to the uninitiated. Not to me a fellow runner, I know the Motive.
Once I tell you what's behind all this running - it will make perfect sense...
The woman runs away because the man who is willing to go the distance with her, even if she falls, ...
Will always make sure she ends up safely in his arms.
"No matter how many times you fall in love it only counts when someone is there to catch you."

i guess for the woman that is used to having a hard surface break her fall, the alternative can be a scary thing :-/
