In conclusion, one of the great things about running is its simplicity. If you really wanted to you could get away with spending little to practically nothing on the sport.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing Trent. I think the only thing you really NEED is a good pair of shoes. ... but then it's so easy to justify running clothes (who runs in cotton now?) ... and if you're going to have good shoes, then you should get good socks (at $10 a pair), and, well, those Garmins are so cool. Race entry fees? Can't really get away from them, although I stopped running $30 5Ks. Travel does add a lot, though, for the marathons and the HMs. What I figure, though: running, yes, is expensive. But it's better to have this habit than, say, a drug habit or a smoking habit. $110 for a pair of shoes is pricey, but how much does a smoker spend on ciggs for the same amount of time? $40 for a pair of shorts is a lot of cash, but it keeps me from gaining weight, spending money on doctor's visits for obesity, etc.
Anyone have pizza?

Yes, running can be expensive - but it's getting cheaper now that I know the internet sale diva - you know who you are

Apparently $85 to run a marathon. That is the most I've ever spent on a race. Wow. I better finish.
