In 2010 running was my #1 priority. I did it at any cost.
Well in 2011 I am going to be more mindful of cost. Far too many times I spent money I didn’t have to register for races (more often than not an out of town race), buy new running clothes, trying fancy healthy food, etc. In my mind I was like well this is good debt.
This year I am hoping to BEGIN to get my finances in order. Budgets, consolidations, etc. With this being said I have decided to NOT run the Los Angeles Marathon in March (maybe one day). I don’t have the money for a race and a flight and a hotel and all the money I’ll need to put into training properly (new sneakers, gels, etc).
I still would like to run a Marathon this spring. It’s FOR SURE happening in 2011, but I need to get some control first. I’m very bad at telling myself “NO." Which could explain why I was overweight for a long, long time.
I have ALWAYS been bad with money. I’d sincerely appreciate any advice, tools, etc. I need to handle my debt better because it WEIGHS on me more than my fat ever did.
