A friend said today you shouldn't use running shoes for more than 3 months. I looked it up and you're supposed to swap them out every 4-500 miles!
If I run 2 miles 3x a week, that's a little over 300 miles a year. Maybe he runs more than me though.., which wouldn't be surprising! I probably need new running shoes anyway though.
How old are your running shoes?

Mine are three years old, but I'm pregnant for the second time during those three years, and I've had horrible sciatica during both that's stopped my running. I just said to DH the other day that I think I'm going to treat myself to a new pair after LO2 comes along.

Mine are a few months old. It definitely depends on usage! But I think it's worth swapping frequently. When my shoes get old my knees start hurting. 
to get extra mileage out of old shoes I keep them for hiking on trails or walking the dog.

Mine are a few months old, but my running is sporadic at best right now.
