    I think you are missing the point. You aren't supposed to go RUN in your tights and shell. You are supposed to go to Starbucks and be adulated (is that a word)? Because, you know, people are IMPRESSED when you say you run. Like my coworkers, for example. They ooh and ahh when I talk about intervals and hill work and splits.

    The other day, I had to fight my way through the crowd of people snapping photos of my 13.1 sticker to get to my car.

    And not one reader of Mark Remy's column has let not having a subscription prevent them from cancelling it.

    I need to get one of those (and a triathlon one too) but there must be something wrong with me....... I don't like Starbucks :happy:

    I thought the whole article was hilarious. And he does make a good point "Why would someone want to get up at 5 a.m. and run 10 miles adorned with fluorescent tape to avoid being struck by someone who has the good sense to use a car for a 10-mile journey?" Why? I am terrified of being run over. I don't know why I do it either!

    I agree--I thought it was pretty damn funny.
