Race prices seem to be going up each year at a hefty pace and it's a pace I might not wish to try and keep up with. Big city marathons are well over $100 now - unless you sign up well in advance - which is a good idea but I'm seldom that smart. An ultra that I was hoping to try is asking $175 and it's their first year. That's pretty steep. Is it worth it? Is any race worth it? Yes, if it's something that brings some happiness into our lives, provides a challenge and adds some passion. It's not a question of worth but it is a question of balance. I need to be smarter about the races I choose and get I early - and learn to skip some when it's my ego calling out to race and not my legs begging to run.
Peace,
Eric
