My GF gave me an ultimatum it's either her or running

Just run.

I'd take running, especially if you're still young.

Simply state: Don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out.

No worries after that.

tell her you will decide when you get back from your run

No worries. She'll figure it out herself. Just keep running.

Post some pics and we'll decide how to break up with her.

Why does she feel that way?

Might I suggest PowerPoint?

Just send her to my place.

What's your 5k pr?

I've had a similar scenario. Except I'm married and I am a female. Husband has given me several ultimatums - him or running. When I told him I wanted to train for the Olympic Trials, he told me that would be 'selfish' and didn't want me to. Tried to compromise for a long time, but long story short we are going through a divorce. You can't make a runner not be a runner - it's who we are. Good luck, get out and RUN as fast and as far as you can. Trust me, you won't regret it. Also, she will likely never understand and make you feel like a bad person for making this decision. Just troll on LR and you'll feel better.

Good for you.

My best is 16:14 but I think I'm in 15:25 shape now.

7/10. Nicely done until that last part. No female publicly advocates trolling LR even if she enjoys reading it when it's done well.

I had the same thought about the last sentence

What are your PRs? This has got to be a troll. No spouse would crush somebody's Olympic dreams without giving a reason. I am assuming you don't have kids.

If you really want to make a statement...Forrest Gump her.

4 x cross-continental workout. 30 seconds in between.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Go.
