As we come up on 4 years of economic woes, we are also coming up on 4 years of strong growth in the sport of running. Perhaps as time and money become more precious, we look at the rock solid simplicity of running and realize the psychological and physical value offered makes it a safe investment. Take stock in running!

Speaking of value, I bet if you have been running for a number of years you have some very old running apparel in your closet... because the stuff never wears out! I was just looking at the amazing new running jackets at Running Fit and realize I need to donate some of my ancient gear to make room before I shop!  
Another thought, miles never depreciate, the miles ran in the 70's were 5,280 feet, the same as now ... even if they seem longer today!

Run for broke,
