[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless a guy tells me he runs a 7.5 minute mile, or a woman divulges tennis ranking with me, I would have no idea if they're truly "athletic."

And wearing Patagonia and Mountain Hardware head to toe isn't actually a good way to gauge who is truly "athletic" and who is fronting.   I've seen this time and again during school camping trips and family sporty-type activities -- Lululemon doesn't make mom good at sports, it turns out.

So I want to know too:  how do you know a "family" is "athletic"?   [/quote]

U nless a guy tells me he runs a 7.5 minute mile "????? A 7:30 mile sucks.I would certainly hope that each and every one of us could run a mile in 7 1/2 minutes. If you can't you are either morbidly obese or in seriously poor cardiovascular health. 7:30 /mile is the average pace of a "just ok" female marathon runner. As in she runs all 26 miles at 7 min or so a mile. That may be just good enough to qualify to run Boston. The women who win run 5 minute miles for 26 miles.[/quote]
