When we went for our usual Wed bagel and didn't bike - the worker didn't recognize us as usual because we were all showered and in normal clothes :D<br /><br />I have stopped reading all fitness mags and stay away from most of the pinterest health boards.

So funny. But I guess it's a runner thing & she would have understood.<br />Did Jeff have any problems id'ing her, or was the hubby his clue as well?<br />No fair that the guys are totally recognizable...same hair (well, close & they probs wear hats) & same face just less red. And less sweaty. I hope.

I agree, she does look good, in a normal runner way (but she's British, I'm guessing they don't have to deal with quite as much heat as we do, hence less sweating?).<br /><br />LOL on your Shape mag memories!!!

I loved the success stories. And of course, daydreaming about looking like one of those imaginary cover girls.<br /><br />Love your written description of your thighs as you run--doesn't that photographer know that the only pic he should snap is with both legs in mid-air?<br /><br />So is Jessica Ennis the cover girl here? She still looks pretty dang good. I need to do a magazine called "Aging Gracefully" with real life close-up pics of 60 year olds. Ooh, that makes me mad all over again when I used to watch shows with stars that had obviously had a lot of work done, and the MC would say "this is what 60 looks like today!" Harumph.

I know I don't look like any model when I'm running, and it'd be awesome if there was a magazine out there that recognized that and celebrated "real" people running :)<br /><br />I happened to bump into my trainer in the neighborhood recently, and she totally didn't recognize me with my hair down and make-up on - it's such a huge difference, and kind of funny that we've known each other for 2 years, but she didn't really know what I look like most of the time!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-64974006543661766292013-10-28T07:07:54.737-05:002013-10-28T07:07:54.737-05:00So true!
