Running more expensive than skiing, motocross and golf

You're a 4h marathoner, right?

7/10

I spend $50 a week on food.

Dear god strike me down so i dont have to hear this idiocy

I'm betting your not any good at skiing, motocross, golf, or running. But nice thread.

Pretty hard to get started in golf for less than $2,000 including clubs, shoes, and other gear if you buy reasonably nice stuff new. Add to that greens fees of $50 every time you play (at least where I play), which averages once per week (more in summer, less in winter). Same for the other sports you mentioned, significantly higher upfront costs plus higher ongoing costs as well.

You can get started for $250 in running and it is largely free after that other than for extra food, although I would question whether your $50/week is actually that high.

Sorry, it isn't even close.

Rojo made a great comparison last week: Compare the cost of one round at Pebble Peach to the cost of running Chicago.

$50/week = $7/day.

If you're running singles, that means it costs you $7 to go for a run.

Even if you were to get free gear and a free season lift ticket, it costs more than $7 to go skiing in gas alone.

Even if you were to get a free motocross bike, gas to get to the motocross place + gas you use while motocrossing + upkeep on your motocross bike = more than $7.

Even if you had free golf clubs, shoes, and greens fees, you'd spend more than $7 on balls and tees each time you went golfing.

Your trolling is silly. I like the "knee surgery" bit at the end though, I thought repeating the myth that everyone here knows is false was a nice touch.
