And I totally get it.....and I'm not even saying it's not partial bullshit....technically....

It's my hobby though...
That's the thing...
No, i'm not training for olympics...but I DO set personal goals & several races yearly and I train for those.
And it feels good to meet those goals and get personal records because...really...at this age what OTHER kinda frivolous shit can I realistically be competitive at and feel some sense of accomplishment with relative ease and low cost of entry?
In general, running is a fairly cheap hobby...
Cat's out here dropping grands on golf clubs and shit....monthly gym memberships....etc....
I spend like...i dunno...$200 - $400 per year on running gear (shoes, socks, race entries)....


I don't even really have that many running shoes when I think about it....

3 pairs of Mizuno's spanning 4 years in age...
2 pairs of Saucony's
and now 2 pairs of Nikes
