I believe they initially met on here.

And they divorced several years back also.

The wedding hasn't even happened yet but your words will come to fruition I'm sure.

The questions is:

Is it more likely for a male Letsrunner to meet a girl here or a gay guy here?

Dates are out there just ask!!!

I left a message on the message board in my local laundromat looking for someone who wanted to have brunch while our clothes were washing. . Got a number of replies did not marry any of them but had a summer of good dates.

I met my future woman on Facebook in the comment section of a language school and we are right now separated by 8 borders but December never looked so bright! And when we met it was like we both felt it would be (read awesome) and this totally is THE woman.

Didn't TXrunnergrrrrl meet (and maybe even marry?) NIKEdood...?

Very scary thought.

*eye roll*

Long before txRUNNERgirl and nikeman there was another couple that met and married off of here. Sarah and ??? I really can't remember his name. I believe the Brojos did an article about it, even, but my google-fu is weak this morning.

I believe one, maybe both of them were sub-elite runners as well, but again it has been a long time.

If a couple met on an anonymous message board, it wouldn't mean much, except that they didn't know each other was on the same message board. Might make for awkward conversation.

Now, if they were strangers who met via a anonymous message board and later become a couple, well that would be a cute story.

Yes, it was at least 10 years ago, they got married maybe 2004 or 2005. The article may be a little hard to find but hopefully the Brojos might see this and repost it.

I'd like to meet pinkrunningshorts37604 who talked about the eating disorder problem on women's running.

If that's the zip code, we live close by. I'd just want to have somebody to talk about elite running. I'm an old (comparably) married guy, so I'm not looking for love/lust. Most of my running friends are more concerned with selfies and supporting the back of the pack, which is cool too, but few talk about the elite sport.

Sarah and John Stiner (of the NOP scandal) were the original LetsRun couple who were married, but have since divorced.

nikeman and I are getting married next July right after the Olympic Trials. We met through a combination of LetsRun and Facebook. He knew who I was from LetsRun, sent me a FB friend request and we started chatting there. Through FB, we discovered we had a lot of mutual friends, so I knew he couldn't be that bad in real life. We met in person a few months later when I was in Oregon for the 2009 USATF Outdoor Championships and also ran the Rainier to Pacific Relay that summer. I'd already been planning to move to the NW and ended up getting a job in Boise, which happened to be where nikeman lived at the time.
