On the one hand... at my age (45+), 28 minutes would be a masters record and on the other hand... while the bunny sounds tempting, someone already mentioned post nuptial shut-off.
Has to be the 28m 10k for me.

Now you're being disappointingly practical. Let's face some facts. If either of us ran a 28 minute 10K we'd die of a heart attack. If either of us got caught with a Playboy bunny (or reasonable facsimile) our wives would kill us.
HOWEVER, thinking about the Playboy bunny wife if definitely entertaining for longer than 28 minutes. You of all people should be going for the more bang for your buck scenario. (so to speak).

Keith,
1) 28 minute 10k would come after being in serious shape. No guarantee of a heart attack.
2) Wives wouldn't kill us if the wife was the playboy bunny.
3) I'll assume the ability to run a 28 minute 10k doesn't disappear after just on run. I'll assume you get all the health benefits and continued fitness the rest of your life (age graded as you get older) if you pick that option.
This next statement is for everyone who has chosen or thought about choosing the Playboy bunny - What is the deal with wanting a Playboy Bunny? Seriously. There are LOTS of beautiful women out there. It's not like the only beautiful ones pose for Playboy. The only difference between them any any other beautiful women is that they take their clothes off for money. Lame. Whores is what they are. So, you'd rather be married to a woman who has shown her body to the world rather than a beautiful woman who only gives it up for you? Besides, if you settle for a Playboy bunny, the ONLY thing you get is MAYBE a woman who looks hot, and I say Maybe, because if you've ever seen that Girls Next Door show, some of them look weird; definitely not the epitome of beauty. You do realize when you're married you do have to talk to them and plan how to spend money and vacations and divvy up the work around the house and so on. I don't need to babysit a dingbat with regard to any of that.

I might go the Playboy Bunny route, if there are still any with natural tatas. The plastic balls slapped onto a skinny chest doesn't do it for me.

Wait, wait , wait. You think you would be in a position to tell a beautiful girl with a smoking body that you are not attracted to her because she has fake boobs?
Like it would be beneath you? If you are as skinny as you say, you would be telling everybody if one of those bunnies even talked to you.
Hot women > running

If you ran 28min for 10k, wouldn't the Playboy bunnies want to be your wife?
Think about the visual mismatch. If you run 28 for 10k....
Flagpole, bravo!Excellently said.

I think she is a sister.
28 min 10k because youll probably still be able to land a banging hot chick, hopefully one that runs as well
I have to agree that the whole "Playboy" thing is over-rated now that Hefner is well into his 80s and seems to have decided the only women worth having around have hair that is huge and fake blonde and breasts that are huge and also fake. I am one of the older coots here and I have to wonder if younger guys really find fake breasts attractive. You know, to me, it just looks like the woman is wearing something on her chest. She can be topless, and to me, she doesn't even look naked. It's sick.
If the question were whether I'd want a 28:00 10k or a woman I friend amazingly attractive, I'd pick the woman. But it would have nothing to do with any Playboy notion of attractive.
Despite the constant ribbing that goes on here, many of us HAVE had women more attractive than Hefner's current standards. It's not all that unusual.
A 28 minute 10k doesn't even get you in the olympics, so make it 27:45 or better and I'll take that deal.
god what is this, amateur hour?
no sloppy seconds for me. i'll go with the 28:00 10k
i find this thread interesting. basically, it comes down to a. style, or b. substance. a person that values style will pick the bunny, substance the 28:00.
i am going out on a limb here, but i'm betting that if you ran a graph the younger posters will be more likely to pick the bunny, while the older posters would pick the 28:00. it would be an interesting study. i'm betting midwesterners/small town-inland folk are more likely to take the 10k also....some doctoral candidate needs to look into this seriously.
give me the eye candy since:
We all know that LR posters get no lovin..,that way even if there is a post-nuptial shutoff I'm not just some scrawny 130lb guy running 28:00 on occasion, but have a good looking piece to watch me run 34:00 and give the impression, however false it may be, that I'm a somewhat normal member of society who may or may not have a nice piece of ass on occasion (holidays & birthday)
As someone who has actually HAD sex, I want to let uninitiated Pod guys know that there ARE dazzling women out there, and they are attainable, and they are more real and lovely and less surgically enhanced than Playboy types, and being with them is every bit as wondrous as you hope it will be, and it can last for months, if not years, if you behave yourself.
As for the 28:00 10k, well...I'm over 26, and I haven't done that yet, so it's extremely unlikely (like zero chance) that I ever will, and,you know, I'm cool with that.
it's funny that flagpole thinks the non-bunny will take her clothes off only for him, when more than 50% of married women (and men) cheat on their spouse.

Wad - in a sense I am not surprised. A Penthouse woman would likely have some facility to handle men with aplomb, and is less likely to be insecure. Insecure women make a happy relationship almost impossible. Nevertheless, I am envious - not for the looks (although that is nice), but for the character and values you describe.
But I really, really think men should never get married until they are at least 30. Most are not mature enough themselves, and are not experienced enough to discern the right kind of woman to marry - meaning one that is not dominated by insecurities, has a sense of self, and views the relationship as a partnership rather than just a wallet.
One might cast me as cynical and negative, but the truth is that a lot of us runners on this board are typically pretty ambitious and focused guys and notwithstanding our skinniness in the Darwinian game many of us attractive marriage partners. The pressure that gets applied to us kinds of guys (along with their general nature to be nice to be the person they are seeing which makes them not look out for their interests) leads to all sorts of misery down the road.
My advice to guys - wait until you are 35. If you want to have children, take care of yourself physically and find a caring, nice 25 year old. The only downside is that it is easier to keep up with kids (and a lot of fun) when you are younger, but in the end being stuck in a marriage entered without a good and mature sense of self is just trouble.
I hesitated to post this because of a fear of being accused as sexist. But nothing could be further from the truth - I have two daughters of college age and clearly am in their corner in every possible way. Men ought to have life strategies to marry a younger woman at age thirty five after having obtained a good start in life, and frankly, women, who are limited by a biological clock in ways men are not, need to start thinking about marriage much earlier.
I am only 26, but I know that what you're saying makes sense. The way you describe most young runners as ambitious and focused is typically true, but what you say about insecurity killing relationships is so very on point.
