Looks like you're doing very well

Mention of a mutual acquaintance prompted Coach to tell a story this evening.

Apparently he was invited to a reception at said mutual acquaintance’s house in New York, connected with some big running event. Upon arrival, Coach noticed only one woman in the room. I don’t recall his exact words in describing her, but I gathered that her physical appearance was striking. “Who is she?” he asked the bartender, and learned that apparently she worked for the JogBra company. (I don’t know if that was actually the company name, but I think there was once such a brand.)

Within a minute, of course, Coach wound up being introduced to this woman, and proceeded to do so by saying, “I’m Bill S——, running coach. How do you support yourself?”

He claims that this line wound up in the New York Times, but also told us how she got him back.

well … how did she get him back? don’t leave us hanging :)

She mailed him a very, very small jock strap (he illustrated the waistband by making a ring with his thumbs and forefingers) with the note, “Thanks for the endorsement!”
