I estimate he spent at least $5,000 since 2011 just looking at the 24 races on Athlinks.com. $80 for each marathons, $50 for the 1/2s, etc., 2 nights hotel at $100 each night ($300 for NYC ) (have to be there for early race start - too tired to drive home after race?). This does not include airfare to New Orleans race, Vegas and Arizona... I think the amount of money spent on his hobby is sadder knowing now that he never offerred a reward or would kick in for the billboard. Is this also an excessive amount of races? Did the whole family go and make it a family event? I think I saw pictures of the whole family from the Providence race. Runners I know train for the big "Marathon" but don't go hours away twice a month to run this much????
I'll add to this that the average price of the GPS watch he posts about runs for about $350.

Yet, has the brass to state about his missing wife's spending habits:
The week before (the disappearance) she spent $300 on brand-new clothes just for herself, and got a new haircut the Friday before she went missing, he said. There were lots of different changes.
