everyone is in the front in the begininng. ya know you've posted tons of these "look at me in lil shorts" shots...have you ever won one, or placed?
HAHAHA... I saw that image and literally burst out laughing. Where in the hell did you ever find something like that?!
Several races have been wins within my age group, which is 15-19 year olds. Also, I got the most improved runner award back in June 2008 in high school, so I have achieved something. I'll achieve more than you have, eventually. Here are the positions I came in for races I did in 2010. 2011 and 2012 will be better years. 11th/318 runners (November 2010) 5th/72 runners (October 2010) 39th/544 runners (October 2010) 18th/535 runners (September 2010) 19th/169 runners (September 2010) 16th/250 runners (September 2010) 147th/4,585 runners (August 2010) 39th/322 runners (June 2010) 167th/3,209 runners (June 2010) 31st/221 runners (May 2010) The next race I'm doing is on June 19th, it's 10 kilometers.
Ugh, I absolutely hate this. It has a particular edge for me because I used to be overweight. Then I lost all the weight about 5 years ago (near the middle of college). I've actually had people do this: 1) They hear I'm dating a black man, and 2) They hear I used to be overweight, so they assume that my black boyfriend is just a holdover from the days when I used to be overweight. As if I'm still "thinking like a fat girl" or something. Ugh!
Look, lets put this whole fat thing to a rest. Most BM, (not all) like a woman with curves. We are not pedophiles who like women who look like 10 year old boys. I am a bigger guy. Not too overweight, but not super trim like in my 20's. But, just like healthy figured women, don't let the size of the shed fool ya' cause there is still a stretch Cadillac parked under it. http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/images/smilies/077.gif
*i really need more sleep* Might I add that women who have more curves are not necessarily fat and or ugly. I have curvage due to being "fat" during pregnancy. I fall within the normal weight limit and my BMI is in a healthy range. I don't get complaints. In fact, men generally tell me the stuff I do consider "fat" is pretty well placed. So there.
Great explaination and thread bump. In my IT class today, the professor was complaining about technology's influence on obesity. It affects all racial groups. The trend has actually worsened a bit in recent years. And to LA, I would rather be immature on a public forum than express discontent for my own skin with my responses on here, so your post proves nothing and I get to use your own words against you. I'm not the only one here who's criticized for being immature also, so how do you like those odds?
I remember an ist professor back at psu who told everyone to get up once in a while and exercise, because sitting at the computer hacking away all day wasn't healthy it's pretty common sense now, but the reality is that many people still spend too much time on their asses.
True. I spend a lot of time on mine too, although my health is in good shape. I joined an online Facebook group called the National Black Marathoners Assosciation. There are about 600 people who actively post in it. I don't plan on running one anytime soon because my focus is up to the half-marathon. So anyways, hopefully more people (preferably of our race) will join in.
Yeah, I'm serious, I do. I'll be doing it for the majority of my lifetime. I find this thread one big joke against everyone (except reggie) so that's why (originally) I bumped this thread up a few months ago. Some of the posts against Reggie reeked of ignorance, so I had to correct it.
I asked bc I used to run alittle. Just for the pleasure of getting out away from the world. Nice country roads with little traffic in sippi. My time became VERY limited so I changed to cycling. I never made it to marathon status. Lol
Cycling is great too. With enough dedication, perhaps you could be like Lance Armstrong or Floyd Landis. Do you think you'll be able to do that?
I see. One of the unfortunate things about being an athlete who's black was from excerpts of this article that was written. This article was written back in 2000. Our society has adapted a bit, but generally the problems are still there. I remember my dad referencing something about one of those principles as well. http://run-down.com/guests/je_black_athletes_p1.php I wouldn't change who I am or be reborn as someone else of a different race, but this should definitely be addressed.
muah hahahaha! most black men i know, including myself date size 5 waist and smaller models/actresses... maybe its just the crowd i hang with but to each their own...
