I came across this blog post on the very funny (but true) list of a runners natural enemies. Check it out.
My personal favorite is number 9:
“9. Hot Girls
You’re at the end of a tough long run. You’re pretty much at the point of putting one foot in front of the other and hoping that it translates into forward motion, when off in the distance you see Helen of Troy in running shorts. Immediately you drop to tempo pace, your formerly ragged breathing becomes controlled and effortless. The rictus grin you’d been sporting moments earlier is now a look of bemused detachment. This running thing is just what I do for a lark between solving world hunger and summiting Kilimanjaro. As soon as she’s passed you collapse to the ground in a twitching heap, having effectively ruined your run. But it was worth it because she totally checked you out. Probably.”

That is really, really funny. Solving world hunger…
and that fact that she checked me out… probably.
