I can sympathize with your boyfriend. If it's a once a year thing, let him get his space if he thinks it matters. I did a similar thing to my girlfriend and I have a queen size bed...
We still had sex, but I always kicked her out afterward (though I always was kind enough to drive her home)...
AMEN
Why the hell does he care? D3 runners are so much slower than d1. Big whoop you won ntl title, you couldn't have even made it to our conference meet- which is BIG! ANy d3 champion couldn't have cracked the top eight on our team.
yeah i feel you on that one man. i like to go out have a good time, enjoy other aspects of college, while also running, but mostly relying on talent rather than training. there are several d1s i could have run at, but it wouldve been like a job, and i dont want running to be my job. i enjoy it, but wanted the freedom to be able to quit and train on my own if it came to that.
at some of the meets though, like conference championships, the winner will act like he is a big dick, and thats when someone needs to let him know, of all mens collegiate sports he "plays" the least respected one. think about it, cross country is what i consider the least respected d1 sport, so you cant really go any lower on the chain than d3 xc. and to the guy that said no d3 runner could crack the top 8 on his team, youre wrong. the d3 xc champ could, but probably not top 5, which is why you shouldnt care so much in d3. dont give up punani for running.
No offense but the best non-scholarship athletes are in D1.
The Ivy league would dominate the d3 national meet. They have zero, count them, ZERO scholarships. Patriot league has a bunch of non-scholarship guys as well... I respect the top d3 guys, but lets not make rediculous claims.
oh yeah, D3 stinks.
I mean, let's look at this year's XC Champions.
Missy Buttry got 8th at the Olympic Trials 5k in 15:46. Terrible.
Josh Moen finished a really disappointing 5th at the USATF XC championships, losing to Jorge and Ed Torres, Adam Goucher, and Jonathan Riley -- has anyone even heard of these guys?
The D3 v. D1 argument has been played out so many times on this board it's ridiculous.
AA-GF, if you want a real man, and want to find out where I got my nickname "Century", come stay with me for the next two weeks. I'm no AA but I did get second place in a recent naked mile. 125 lbs? I've got 125 lbs in my pants!
I think this is the same 125 athlete who wears a mask when he draws in charcoal for his art class. a little bit obsessive.
.......Do you snore? hog the blankets? grind your teeth? talk in your sleep? sleep walk in the middle of the night? kick and scream in the middle of the night?
any retard knows that it is specious reasoning to compare 1500s since they are often so tactical. there were 4min milers in the Heps race and it happened to go 4:15. does it mean that those runners are only 4:15 1500m runners? NO. Why not look at the 5000m results from '03.

and yes Buttry and Moen are good. But two people don't save a whole division.
AA-GF:
Some people cannot sleep well when someone is in the bed with them. I am one of them. you didn't say he put a moratorium on sex, so I am assuming it isn't an issue of two weeks without sex, just two weeks without sharing the bed.
I think this is completely realistic. More than once I have been on the edge of a cold or just getting overtired and some girl sleeps over at my house and does some stupid shit like opens a window, or turns on the fan, or gets up at night and takes all the covers off the bed and I wake up in the morning shivering with the room at 65 degrees and with a sore throat, etc.
If he needs 9 solid hours of sleep a night, then having you there is just a distraction, and he doesn't need that. If you need sex have it during the day.
Dump him!

that'd be the Ivy League.

Go tell that to Andrew Rock. And don't forget to bring your gold medal when you do.
Whats the big deal if you can't sleep in ur bf's bed for two weeks? I'm assuming u guys still live in the dorms...i.e. twin bed. Try and be independant for awhile. You don't have to spend every night with your bf. Make some girlfriends.
"Specious reasoning" seems to be contagious, my friend. Your comparison also is asinine, since times at championship meets don't matter. People are running to win. Case in point, 2000 NCAA Championships, 10,000m Div I vs Div III
