    Ya. You can pay them back 8! Maybe next year. And ya know, we still need Alaska. Bet that's some wicked running. I dont wanna go if bears are involved. I can "run" a volcano with no worries. But will pass on the bears.
    Always wanted to do this Alaska running cruise: https://www.runningcruise.com/

    @elise4270 The latest issue of Trail Runner magazine that just came out had 'awards' for some odd categories. I don't recall the category, but there was an award to some runners who lost time because they came upon some bears 'engaged in romantic activities' (or something like that... I don't remember how it was exactly phrased) and had to wait.

    Bare bear love.... Such a sweet, er sweat filled nervous moment.❤️❤️❤️ 👁️👁️😲 ❤️❤️

    How long they have to wait? 😆😍

    You think that's a thing . . . I booked my hotel at Boston this year with the Marathon Tours premium package, which got me on their mailing list. Turns out Marathon Tours markets to world-traveler marathon runners. Lots of scenic destinations, and marketing push for people who want to run all 6 Abbot World Majors or run a marathon on all 7 continents. That's, um, out of my league financially and out of my comfort zone travel-wise.

    Or maybe that was a typo? :)

    That's what I thought too but I am pretty sure I've spent a few grand on running just since I started 15 or whatever months ago.

    Split between shoes and race entry fees and a Garmin and and and...

    Even before I started looking at races it felt like I was spending money left and right - shoes, long sleeve shirts, short sleeve shirts, bras, shorts, shorter shorts, longer shorts, capris, buffs, hat, sunscreen (SO MUCH SUNSCREEN), socks, shoelaces... I guess some people already have workout clothes, but not me! I started in head-to-toe cotton and had to replace everything piece by piece.

    1 pair of shoes $120-$150
    1 UA Shirt $50 billion dollars (on sale)
    1 UA Shorts $30 billion dollars (on sale)
    ...
    Or something like that. :lol:

    I can not deal with how expensive a lot of running gear is! I've managed to find acceptable cheaper options on Amazon mostly and thank you again for the tip on UA socks, they've been great for shorter runs, although I've had to order more recently because the low cut slipped down on one of my recent long runs and I didn't notice until I was in blister land (also, it is really hard to find women's socks that aren't super low cut - WTF?). I'm starting to think about winter running because in Minnesota winter can happen at any time after August, and I'm going to have to replace pretty much everything. Eek...
