    One time I was running on the beach with my older brother and my brother was some ways behind me and by the time we reached our end point, my brother was like, "See that guy over there? He was running so fast and literally passed me up, and then as soon as he got behind you, he drastically slowed down. I should have threw my phone at the back of his head" Lol it was funny because my brother kept imitating him saying the guy kept tripping over himself.

    Have you ever found yourself behind someone in a race, and found the 'view' so nice that you postponed passing them for a while?

    I just call them my "pacers". LOL

    haha usually I am just trying to keep up with them fast women:P

    I moved to a place that's so small, I believe I'm the only one that's running - on that note, I don't think anyone wants to see me jiggle around the neighborhood, at least not until I'm fit enough lol.

    Gotta find something to do while you ticking the minutes away. I had one gorgeous bee-hind help pull me through finishing a 5K when I had the flu and a 103degree fever. I just kept my focus on her firm buttocks, and next thing I knew I was crossing the finish line.

    I've drafted behind someone before.... But for pacing, not cheap thrills. Lol!

    I've also had someone come up behind me, lift my skirt, and goose my azz in a race. Not cool!! Turned out to be my ex husband - which made it even less cool. :-p

    Gosh, I guess I'm usually too focused on passing people and keeping my goal pace rather than stay behind someone. Typically I running away from the heavy breather that's behind me. Hey, maybe I understand what's going on now!

    Nope, must guys who run marathons/halves with me are waaaay too thin for my taste. I do have one friend who does marathons/halves yet is pleasingly stocky but we've always run side by side (talking).

    First marathon I did I followed this exact strategy, found this gorgeous curvy little lady and her butt kept me going through the last few miles. Finished in 3:34 and then talked to her at the end where she confided in me it was a crap time for her and she couldn't believe how slow she ran it. Personally I was glad she had a bad day. :)

    i was running along my regular route, and got passed by a girl. i realized that i wasn't going that fast at all, and i strived just to keep up with her.

    the view was nice.

    Not quite, but I have been hypnotized by swishing, swinging ponytails.

    This is the stuff that gives me nightmares and makes me hugely suspicious of people while I'm innocently on a run. :/

    And then I just realized I stare at the shirtless guys when they run around the lake from the safety of my office. What a hypocrite I am!

    I never get that. Doesn't it get all sweaty / tangly after? Gross.

    I agree, I love a running pony tail. When I met my wife she had a pony tail and ran. I could follow that swishing all day.

    Now I follow , but on a bike :-) Don't get me started on following Lycra bike pants, she is faster than me on a bike too :glasses:

    The first few KMs of my half marathon (yesterday hehe, still bragging lol - it was my first!) I spent ages checking out other peoples clothing. Oh and some of them too :wink:
