I was yesterday sitting with a bunch of my fraternity members for dinner. There were six of us around the table and 2 of us were not imbibing. The 4 others polished off 12 bottles of beer between themselves. I am not even going to tell you the starters that flowed, the main course and the inevitable dessert that polished off things. I, on the other hand, nursed two fresh lime sodas, feeling guilty for having put sugar and salt in it. A concession that I justified for the 25K BNP Endurathon that I had run in the morning. The share per person came to a more than a running events entry fee. I just got off the phone with someone who is training under me and told me that the high of exercising is more than what a single malt can give. She has stopped her weekend binges since she got serious. I see posts complaining about the cost of running events. I would like runners to remind themselves of the cost of the alternate lifestyle that they have sought to leave behind. And have you considered the cost of a single visit to a medical specialist? It is often more than what a running event costs. Take your choice, but choose wisely, I say.
