You could do what I do: don't go running - they'll keep for aaaages!
I don't actually go running. If I did, I could understand them only lasting 6 months. I'm just on the treadmill 5/6 times a week. I don't even run on that, I just do about 4mph for about 3 miles. I thought I would be able to get at least a year out of each pair. Mycroft, even though you're rough on them, 4 months is awfully short.
I'm assuming you've tried a few different brands?
)... My granny was already on the case ('cause it happened on New Year's Eve, no one told ME of course), because water was flowing all over the place, they wanted to cut the source when, just to make life even easier, it turned out there has been a pipe-brake no one noticed, so we don't know when it happened, what we do know is that over a 100 or so m3 water has been lost... fun innit? Now we're lucky, because it has been a dry Summer, so chances are the ground under the house hasn't sank or I don't know what you call it, but that still is a lot of money... I may be able to get some discount because of my situation, but right now I'm in a really pessimistic mood.
AND no heating... it's 15°C in here 
*hugs* Mici. What an awful thing to come home too
