Cat Call

It never fails. This morning I went for an extended run that took me past an active condominium construction site. The boys in the hard hats whooted from the minute they spotted me until I was out of view. How did I respond? I picked up my pace. Not because I wanted to get away from the cat calls, but because I suddenly felt obligated to impress the men who were admiring me. Same thing happens when I pass a hottie on the street, or a young professional in a parked convertible. This winter I jogged an extra half an hour on the treadmill after a good looking man stepped onto the machine next to me.

And don't think if Eric Bana were jogging beside me that I wouldn't run at a 7-minute mile pace until my legs no longer functioned... That would be a weight-loss plan that I could handle.

    You can have Eric Bana as your inspiration, I'll take Matthew Fox. We should all have treadmills together. A veritable exercise orgy.

    I'm down.

    That's not fair. If Eric Bana wants to lose a lot of weight, all he has to do is take off the armor.

    I would run for days for Eric Bana, Matthew Fox, Clive Owen, Tony Blair, etc.

    I once did a 795 lb. squat-thrust in front of Tyra Banks, and completely blew my groin out.

    I'd be impressed if you said SHE blew your groin out...

    Oh good, I thought it was only me that would daydreem about being running buddies with various hot hollywood (or mlb/nhl/nfl/nba) men whilst trotting along the mall...

    I thought Eric Bana was murdered by Achilles???? Cosign on the post because we all should know by now that hotties are better than steroids and motivational coaches.

    Well if you will recall from the "top three men to get stuck on an island with" conversation that went around a few months ago, Eric Bana is undoubtedly in my top three, second to only Jake Gyllenhaal...either of which could actually make me go to the gym...and even possibly run on a machine of some type. Until they show up, I'm fine right here on the couch.
