So happy to hear this! We are talking a fast man and not a literal rabbit, correct?

*hangshead* Judi, I've failed you. I guess I just sorta assumed you, um, knew. The power of pace booty is real. It can't be denied. It puts a certain spring in your step. A certain je ne sais quoi. A streak of positiveness indeed! Chase that hotass girlfriend

Does speed make up for any lack of attractiveness?

I have a friend who pretty much only dates fast people. Not joking.

Oh this man was fine looking and fast.....I don't think I would exclude a man because he isn't running fast--my husband refuses to run, bike or swim.  He plays golf and does the elliptical and just walks on the treadmill.  He has lost about 40 pounds in the past 8 months just taking care of his diabetes and BP....

Monica, have you seen this video?  I know some people are freaking about the grating on the bridge near the end of the bike.  It's as I thought.  Check out right around 2:00.

Originally posted by StaceyK Has anyone done a colour run before? Gonna walk on with my friend K in a couple of weeks, do I wear old shoes that I can throw away if I need to after? My current running shoes aren't that old and cost me $250 so I don't want to wreck them. (Yes shoes are damn expensive here!)

I have.  I still wear the shoes I wore to the color run.  They are black, so I can't speak a lot to staining.  Mostly they look dusty.

I think it went well.  It was a really long day and the jerks next door kept me awake most of Wednesday night.  I'm not sure I'm what they are looking for, but I presented myself well. 7 interviews + a seminar.  It'll be a few weeks before I hear back as they are all at a conference next week.  My plane was late getting back last night and then I woke up super early today.  Tomorrow is for sleeping!

I'm happy that all the government science resources work again!  PubMed has been all sorts of weird during the shutdown.

That's faching cruel and unusual punishment.  Who in the hell makes someone interview with 7 different people? And a seminar?  You are a strong, strong woman.

Glad it went well   Fingers crossed for you!

Good question.  I'm gonna go with yes.

To me, attractiveness is often seriously heightened by someone being really good at something.  It doesn't have to be athletics, but it often is.  Actually, looks, in and of themselves, aren't very high on my list.  smart>funny>good at something>kind..................>textbook "good looking".  I should probably rank kindness higher, but my track record would reveal I'd be lying.

Thanks for sharing this Janyne - I just watched it... is the grating really that bad?  Some of the bridges in Chicago have the grating across them and I've never had a problem riding over them.

So Janyne and Monica is taper madness starting to set in yet?

Thankfully I don't think it's hit full-on madness yet.  I'm expecting that to start some time tomorrow when I begin to make all the various lists of stuff that I want/need to pack... and then make new lists.  And then question everything on the lists.  And then throw those lists out and make entirely new lists....

Curious about these "some people" as I'm having trouble seeing what exactly the problem is? A few bumps in there?

The position is basically an internal consultant, so I'd be working with different groups.  I think a big part of this process is making sure that I am personable and someone they could see themselves working with.  But, yeah, it's brutal.
