[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Competing in triathlons, marathons, etc.  It's trickling down a bit, but still largely belongs to upper middle class and up.  Although they are show-offy pursuits, it's athletic prowess that's being shown off; I don't think most participants do it to flaunt wealth.  Therefore, unintentional status symbols.[/quote]
Yes plus the free time to train et[/quote]

Here's my secret -- I do both because I can't get a job, acknowledgement of my resume, or an interview.  I have lost track of the applications I have submitted, the number of networking events I have attended, recruiters I have talked to who have not helped in the least bit and informational interviews I have pursued that have gone nowhere.

I am incredibly discouraged and down on myself and exercising is the one consistent thing I can do.  Oh yeah,  I don't wear make-up either because I can't be bothered.[/quote]

WTF?  I did all of my marathons from age 26-33.

I find the annoying types get into this shit when they're old, bored and middle aged and then we all have to listen to their training logs, tips and runs.  STFU!!!  It is so highly annoying.  I just went out and ran. Period.

Uhh, sorry to upset you, I ran my first marathon at 28, I've been running for 20 years.[/quote]

PP is a sour puss who is a poor representation of the running/tri community. [/quote]
