When You're Dating Or Married To A Marathon Runner these are points to kep in mind!

"I am an outdoors type of person."
Really means: I train in any type of weather. If it's raining, snowing, 90 degrees w/100% humidity, or winds gusting at 30 mph.

"I like jogging."
Really means: Let's run hills until we puke. If you can't do a spur of the moment 10 miler then you're not my type. I have just as many shoes as you only mine are better because they are functional and all look the same.

"I enjoy quiet walks on the beach."
Really means: Walks on the beach warming up into an 8 mile run and then plunging myself in the ocean for a 2 mile swim.

"I enjoy sharing quiet moments together."
Really means: It's taper time. Just back off because I am worried about my race and I can't work out.

"I'm into technology."
Really means: All of the songs on my mp3 player are strategically downloaded based on beats per minute in regards to my pace.

"I am an active person."
Really means: Aside from my 40 hour job, and the 8 mandatory hours of sleep a night, 10 hours a week are devoted to workouts during the off-season and 20 during race season- leaving us 4 hours. If you are a licensed massage therapist or doctor this would make the most optimal use of our time together. Nutritionist is also acceptable, but I probably already know just as much as you.

"I enjoy dining out."
Really means: I enjoy eating out, in or anywhere else I can find food. Don't be shy because with the amount of food I eat, you can have that main entree instead of a salad and you will still look as though you eat like a rabbit in comparison! Eventually you will have a terrible complex due to watching me eat desserts and not gain any weight. Don't ask me any questions during breakfast, second breakfast, mid morning lunch, lunch, afternoon lunch, dinner or second dinner as it does not lend to efficient food intake.

"I like stimulating conversation."
Really means: While we are running, we can talk about how we decided what to wear on this run based on the temperature at start time versus the temperature at the time we expect to finish, how many miles we did last week, and how many we will do this week and next week.

"I enjoy relaxing soaks in the tub."
Really Means: I'm going to stop on the way home and buy two bags of ice, throw them in the tub with some water, and sit in this torture chamber for 30 minute.....

 

Forewarned and Forearmed... Enjoy!
