6. really fun to go out to dinner with, because we legit ATE
7. really fun to go on trips and experience runs together
8. got my need to get out for runs all the time, was supportive
9. really tough to connect during two simultaneous training cycles (lots of issues stemmed from this)
10. so much laundry
11. boring periods of not drinking
12. constant runner-dudes nipping at her heels
13. shoe storage was an issue in our place

Sounds amazing

Yes but Preferably a Sprinter, and a thing most don't know many are Annorexic and or Bulemia, Sprinter Girls mostly look good to me, many of the Shot Put/Discus Girls look Fat, Long Jumpers are kind of Sprinters in Disquise lots of Long Jumpers can also Sprint, High Jumpers are generally Tall with notable exception, Pole Vaulters are like Gymnasts who are fast. I like4 the Sprinter Girls, Hurdlers also ussually can sprint.

100%spot on ! XC chicks are head baskets. I married a artist who's a Art professor. She doesn't run and never wants to. We've been married 35 years.

Been on the wrong end of that (quite literally) a few times….can’t imagine anyone seeking that out while doing the K9. Major buzz kill and makes you wonder if bad parenting was involved or at least a missed hygiene lesson. 😱😱😱

re: hemorrhoid

Good luck explaining why you need to run 80mpw to a non runner when you’re 40.

re: Oldboi

Don't run 80 mpw when you're 40, that's just sad.

re: hemorrhoid

I dated a runner, married her 6 years later. I'm the talentless one in the relationship so we can do easy runs together and she will even beat me in some races. I think in 2022 we finished back to back in eight races. Its a great way to spend time together, our highest mileage week was when I ran a 90 mile week and she ran 80 and we ran 70 of those together. It's fun to go to the same races, watch diamond league together, travel to '23 Worlds together, keep in shape together, have the same running groups/friends.
Sure the house gets a little disorganized when we are both in the thick of training, we have a large number of shoes, do laundry often, and eat a ton of food (compared to if we were not runners). It can be tough if one is injured because we don't get those ~5-7 hours a week running together.

All of this is secondary to our shared values and life goals of course, we know that injuries/age could take running from us and it would be OK.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Adequate showering yes.

Funny thing about showering, as an athlete who runs once or twice a day the only time that you are used to showering is after running. If you get injured and can't run you almost forget to shower sometimes. So I will say it is a little hit and miss as an injured runner, for either of us though.

So you have or have not ever caught a wiff of the kennel?

My opinion is no for several reasons. This is assuming you, the boyfriend, are a serious runner yourself.
Discus

Just to play along...what are your reasons?

Also, what constitutes a "running girl"? Would that be one as serious as you are?

I never dated anyone who ran with the consistency that I did, but I was not opposed to it. I know quite a few running couples where each is equally dedicated to getting their runs in.

On top of being no fun to be around too often, the anorexic look loses appeal pretty quickly. Fit is fine, but either end of the extremes on the physical size spectrum just isn't attractive.

I know plenty of non-running women who fit that description.

No one here "needs" to run 80 miles per week. You're not professionals.

It's proportionally higher among women who stay competitive in running beyond the college or high school team environment. Same for grotesque faces.
