Add $27.13 for MCRRC membership, $100 for the FTM program, two pairs of shoes, a water belt, and various other clothes and running accessories and that's my total for 2009.
I had a friend once argue with me that running was cheap. I would beg to differ. Yeah, you don't have to participate in races to be a runner, but that would be like calling yourself a soccer player and not playing in games. Also, at least other sports don't require you to change your equipment out every six months, which is ~$100 a pop for a new pair of running shoes.
So what did $625.71 buy me?
Between running and snowboarding, I seriously need to find some cheaper hobbies!
