You're my INSPIRATION. I think I could handle spending $200 on running gear...completely justified by my discipline to be the best I can be at such a healthy, positive pasttime. You’re not crazy.

No cotton shirts for me - too much chafing when I, err... perspire. Wicking base layer, incl tights. waterproof shell jacket is a MUST in the Pac NW... and I gotta have my Wright Socks. Hmmmm.... I never priced my running stuff, but now I think on it, I should stop complaining about the price of gas :-) Imagining the discomfort of the diamonds in Damon's underwear.... yowzer ! $120 Asics here (worth it since they are a huge – no, make that HUGE – improvement over my prior Brooksian nightmares).

I guess if I tally the actual retail value of my running outfit (shoes included), they're probably about that much. Plus $50 more during winter time. But I paid everything (including shoes) at super discounted price. It's 60F in Denver today. I'll be doing my 5 miles with a cotton t-shirt that I got for free, $12 NB running shorts, $50 pair of Asics shoes, $20 running hat and a $5 socks. Once you start running further and further, proper running outfit helps making running more comfortable (wicking sweat off, not chafing your skins etc.). So, nope, you're not crazy for buying "running clothes." Oh... if you count my orthotics as part of my running outfit, then I'm plus another $450. Ipod? GPS watch? WOW! $200?
