Sadly, you're such an ignorant turd that you fail to realize how FAST Grace Padilla is (sub-4:30 as a master). Just shut up and quit pretending to be a fan or student of the sport.

How about both? Plus she's a top master's runner.
I saw some blog complaining that the cover is exploiting women. So is RW exploiting men by putting Josh Cox and all those barechested guys on their cover?

What is the breakdown of circulation for RT between newsstand and subscription?
Audited Circulation: 120,797
Subs 76.3%
Newsstands 10.0%
High School Coaches 13.7% (analyzed non-paid)
I am not a magazine mogel, but since it is overwhelmingly subscription based, is the cover really designed to attract newsstand readers or is it done to give subscribers with what they want?
What subscribers want are fit, competitive runners. If the runners happen to be hot, it is a bonus!
You'd prefer Ed Whitlock?

Well, I am not too surprised actually. Because I remember seeing that training video that she and a couple other runners made with Magill, And yes, I did think she was pretty good looking, but it was clear that SHE thought she was super duper hot. She was doing a lot of prancing around, mugging for the camera, bending over and looking over the shoulder to smile at anyone checking out her booty that she was putting on display, etc.
Hey, before someone gets bent out of shape, I am not saying I didn't enjoy the "show", and furthermore, yes, if one has "it", its cool to flaunt it.....to a point. But my impression was that she was just a weeee bit too aware of her good looks and a weeeee bit too conscious of trying to get attention from it.
So she got a cover shot to show off on? Good for her. I am sure it made her day (life).
(ok, now here's where someone can come and tell me that
1) I am wrong, she's noooothing iike that person, etc
2) I must be gay
3) I must be jealous
4) all of the above.
Great, fine, that's me. Now carry on)
She one of the best masters runners in the US and was in a Super Bowl commercial, sh*tbag.
You know that other thread- asking "When is the last time you thought, "Man, I'm happy to be alive"? What made you think that?"That would be Grace Padilla.

eating a burger! I nominate Grace Padilla to be a LRC favorite
I second the nomination. Awesome abs.
Padilla's abs just rock. And she's had two kids.

According to Wikipedia she was also WR holder in the steeple for about a month.

Of course the women's 3000 steeple was just getting of the ground but that's still a very solid time.
Do you happen to know where I could find this blog? It sounds amusing.

She also trolls LRC.
