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

I knew you'd know the position.

You're my favorite poster now. ;)




Oh dear... Very unpleasant.

Why do people make jokes about the state of track and field financially? Especially letsrun, do something about it instead of making fun of it.

Uh, fun isn't found at the bottom of a glass. Respect for your friend.

I've seen her TV few times. She has some bulk/muscles on her. Scrawny guys on LRC that likes getting kicked around by a strong female should be into her.

She's 5'7, probably wouldn't give you the time of day.

Dude, what is sad is that she lives off of $15k per year and obviously has to drink cheap booze!

Actually, you sound sad.
You remind me of a friend of mine- great guy, good friend, but he has never had ad drink, never really went out to have fun and he thinks everyone who enjoys themselves are "sad" and "stupid".
He is old and lonely.

I'm 5'7" sans shoes, 5'7.5" with shoes. Pretty much a midget.

Binge drinkers make bad dates--they are too drunk to f-ck

I ran for a D1 school in the 70s. Hedonistic times.
Sometimes we'd get hammered on Thurs night, figuring we'd be good to race by Saturday. This was idiocy.
These days, I often wonder how well I might have run if I wasn't messed up so much.
I was hardly alone in the ritual self-abuse with booze, and sometimes other things too, I might note.

and thats why americans will never regularly compete at the top of the world scene again.

Of course she cares what people think, why is she writing a blog? I don't take any issue the subject matter, she is attempting to give a view into the life of the professional runner. Unfortunately it's poorly written and contrived. Every running blog I come across has this un-self-aware voice of narcissism. I don't know how you avoid it, but it makes for a crappy read.

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.

---

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

---

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

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.

I started a thread suggesting you do this after her last blog post, but apparently it got deleted. She also reads LetsRun so you can't be too open if you stalk her.

How should I contact her? I don't have a Twitter account.

You could make one, but I know she works out at Nathan Hale HS on the North Side. Just casually show up to do one of your speed workouts.

No. That is too stalker-ish.
