Yeah and my examples of unselfishness are...
NFL, NBA, and MLB stars. They really know how to sacrifice for the team.

Running, IMO, is the ultimate egocentric activity.

No, being lazy and obese is egocentricity.

Running is also about the cheapest sport you can do.

This is why it's the most UN-show-offish sport. Most runners are just joggers

One time? Good running shoes must be replaced after so many miles.

So, runners only buy one pair of shoes during their lifetimes? That's news to me

Not to mention they use their expensive Apple phones to track their progess.

Hm. Don't know that you made your point very well.

I guess my point was that it can be as cheap or as expensive as you want.

Trying to make running sound expensive just comes across as desperate.

The savings in healthcare alone more than compensate.

Old gym shorts- $0. Oversize t-shirt from the drawer- $0. Tennis shoes I wear

Sounds about just what most joggers wear as well.

Joggers =/= runners. Big difference. Runners do it for the attention, joggers

Where do you draw the line? Most sticker lovers are just joggers anyways.

Getting up at 4:30 to run just isn't doable for many people.
