Subject: RE: Pace booty v2.0Definitely pace booty. I look for it, and am it when running with hubby. I thought he was just being nice letting me run ahead. Seems not. Don't know if there are others. I actually use both male and female pace booty and "pace annoyance" to help keep me going. Today on my 5K, there were some hot dudes most of whom were too fast for me to follow and some hot ladies (why be picky about pace booty?) and a few pace annoyances. The annoyance "booty" are the various people with feet loudly slapping on the pavement, irritating music on their ipod at the 'sharing' decibel, those who sing or mumble to the music, people with things that jingle in their fanny packs, or those whose breathing sounds like the dying wheezy groan of a bull elk. I run fast to leave those people behind. Clearly I am easily annoyed by sounds, but hey, if a little annoyance gets me to the finish line faster, so much the better. There's also fascination "booty". That's the occasional person whose running style is "flail wildly about while bouncing vertically". It's fascinating how this somehow becomes forward motion. No doubt I am someone else's curious-dorkette-running-spectacle, but I can't deny watching it in others. |
