RUNNER ADVERTISES FOR DATES DURING MARATHON

30-year-old Steve Bergstrom was preparing to run his sixth Bank of America Chicago marathon on October 9th. Having broken up with his girlfriend two months ago, Bergstrom decided to turn his back into a personal billboard, writing his Facebook page address and advertising his single status. “I wanted to find a date that understood my priorities and lifestyle,” the marathoner said. Bergstrom already knew he was going to run shirtless. After running the race, with his Facebook address on his back, Bergstrom received a dozen friend requests. One of the early requests came from Liz Heisler, who, coincidentally, had come to watch the race. Heisler, also a runner, said she noticed Steve at a couple spots along the course. By mile 25, she thought, “Why not?” Since then, they’ve gone on two “great” dates.
* Although both dates ended with him asking her to scrub the sharpie ink off his back.
* It’s like that “I Would Walk 500 Miles” song except it’s 26.2 miles and he had to run.
* He ran shirtless hoping to end up pantsless.
* Notice he doesn’t say what happened with the other 11 girls. That’s his little secret.
* Let’s just say he’s probably doing another marathon – in the sack.
* If it means having to run a marathon, sorry – I’d rather stay single.
* Maybe I could write something on the back of my sofa.
* Sure, this worked, but wait ’til next year when half the runners try this.
* It sounds like they finished together and that’s always a good sign.
