  1. The most cost-prohibitive part of running in the USA is medical injury.
    With the dismal state of USA health insurance, a couple of visits to an
    ortho
    and a MRI can exceed several hundred dollars in co-pays and
    deductables.

    The next biggest cost is food. 75 miles a week is about 7,500 extra
    kcalories
    or 15 big Macs. I eat better and cheaper than that, but figure at
    least $20 extra
    food a week. Thats going to be several times the cost of wearing-out
    shoes.

  2. Quoted message said:

    Average lunch for one guy I know (400lbs)

  3. Let me guess, your 5K race pacer, right?

  4. Maybe somebody's 5K pacer, but surely not mine.
