Okay - remember a few weeks ago I gave a report on this nice guy who was interested me at one of my events? Well, this morning I ran into his friends - they were trying to find him - and had a nice chat.

Our race started and we all went off. I actually ran into him during the race and we chatted a little.

But he quickly turned me OFF. First of all, he indicated that he loves to drink. Was even hoping for a beer at the end (which is unheard of for these events). Has not been training because he has been partying since the last event. Then he was very negative about the path we were running on.

I smiled and laughed when he got stuck at one of the water stations and I powered off.

I had a great race - came first place - and that has never happened before. But chatted up a few more nice guys and will see some of them at our club holiday party. Will keep you all posted!!

Sometimes you can find out a lot just by asking them how they are and letting them talk. I really don't want a drinker.

WTG with the race!!!

Smart thinking by letting him talk. Glad that you found out early that he's a drinker. Sometimes they hide that from you until you start dating them.

The club holiday party sounds like it will be fun. Keep us posted.

Way to go- First Place! I would think that a drinker wouldn't be a competitive runner, am I wrong? Maybe it(running, that is) really isn't important enough to him to give up the drinking, in which case, kudos to you for finding that out so soon and knowing what you want and don't want in a man.
NEXT!!!
Oh, and have a great time at the holiday party, keep us posted!

The holiday party is in December. And yes, this is very much the results of the new coach who believes in miles and more miles!

Last night I took DS out to dinner to celebrate - and we ran into this guy my sister has been trying to set me up with!! He is a very good marathon runner. And he was having dinner with my sister's neighbor and her husband. We chatted a bit.

Luckily I looked good!

Thanks, girls, will keep you posted.
