Runners have to buy the short shorts, wicking underwear, entrance fees to races, and the shirts if they aren't included in the entrance fee. Plus they have to buy the stickers for their car(s). That doesn't include pedometers and heart rate monitors, tracking gear and software to brag to everyone how great of a runner they are. Running is not nearly as cheap as you guys say it is.
