I'm starting to like this chick: Phoebe Wright: Runners make good dates as they are good binge drinkers and cheap

alcohol - because sometimes life on this planet just sucks

I'm 5'7.5". Believe it or not, I have a better chance with a 5'7" girl than a 5'0" one. It's mainly short girls who eschew short guys.

Seriously, a talented runner, pretty smile, and a great sense of humor? Marry me, Phoebe!

"Phoebe Wright:

* Runner

* Lives in Northwest

* Appreciates guys who can binge drink

I might be perfect for her. I'm seriously going to look into scoring a date with her."

This is you with titties. Your PRs are probably right there with hers. This would be a great match.

Yeah so much alike he'll be perfect for her "friend zone".

Tweet her, ask her out. Tell us how it goes. Seriously. I kinda tried it with a pro runner girl and it failed (I backed out and never asked) but I would be happy to hear your story.

Look at her last Tweet:

"You're aren't truly a professional runner until you get ripped apart by the @letsrundotcom message boards!

Mark it. 12-28-13 I became profesh."

I think she's reading this thread.

I have had repeated success with the dingley-dangley earring variation of the 'same dress' line.

As a matter of fact targeting gals who wear dingle-dangle stuff ups your odds. Couple it with "women who wear dingley-dangley earrings are the best flirts" and you have a ggod start. I'd say 7-8 out of 10 will give you some sort of a flirty behavior off that line. Once she does she's engaged in the conversation and all you have to do is follow her cues. A very subtle shift from you trying to please her to curry favor and gain her attention to her trying to please you by proving she is a good flirt.

Observation:

A women's choice of earwear is very personal so compliments about them are usually well taken.

Avoid, at all costs, women who wear scarfs as fashion statements.

Love this...any pro runner who has the guts to read the boards has my ultimate respect. You go Phoebe!

I don't think she cares much what people think-

Funny chick.

My senior year of HS almost all of my Saturday/Sunday morning runs or workouts were accomplished at least semi-hungover. Finished the outdoor track season top 5 in the state in my event. I also smoked a fair amount of marijuana.

I'm amazed by runners who can complete a workout hungover. Not that I've ever been hungover... I don't drink. It just seems miserable. I preferred to get my run out of the way, then rip a gravity bong with a couple teammates to relax after.

Running with a hangover isn't so bad. Note that I'm talking about "One too many beers" hungover, not "I drank a fifth of vodka last night" hungover. Once you tough it out and get going on a run or workout your hangover goes away pretty quickly.. from my experience at least.

I don't know, Phoebe. You're not actually a professional until we start accusing you of being on PEDs.

We just updated the quote of the day at 3:30 pm to a quote from Wright's blog post. We figured the older people who are worried about heart-disease probably visit LRC in the morning. Teens/20 somethings come later in the day.

Binge drinking = ped

"Binge drinking" and "professional" doesn't really go together IMHO. I have known and trained with some very professional runners and they would have a beer here and there maybe a couple at a time, but never more than 2-3 at any given time, no matter what time of year it was. Hard liquor was out of the question.

I wonder how her coach/sponsors react when reading that.

It's a pretty funny blog and probably represents a lot of pro runners, but the it kinda makes her sound like she is content with the 15k she makes a year because although she trains hard, her life is otherwise sitting around watching tv and thinking of ways to be frugal.

I like the humor, but wouldn't be interested in a date if I read this about someone I was about to meet.

I think she was implying that they only have a week or two off in late September to drink and party.

Phoebe, you missed out on an obvious very attractive quality:

We're usually excellent at SEX. We're in touch with our bodies, we have phenomenal stamina...and we can offer a good massage/back rub to get things started.

I never had a runner girl say that she needed to change positions because her stomach, hips, or lower back was getting tired from...pick a position.

It's usually my hip flexors that get tired.

LOL, I love cliches.

I can guarantee you that the hotter sex will be with the scarf wearing female.

The calmer the exterior, the more twisted the interior.

Everyone is different.

I had a marathoner friend who could be stumbling drunk at midnight, crash, get up at 6:45AM and have no signs of having been drunk.

Me? I'd probably still be buzzed when I woke up.

Guys like Rod Dixon probably metabolized and cleared the alcohol faster than the norm.

Okay, this is flat out the best post "by management" ever.
