From my journal, April 2003.

Dear Men,

When you are in the “getting to know someone” stage, exchanging stories and information, and juuuuuuust perhaps moving on to something a little more serious, you may want to withhold the fact that your last woman was incredibly outgoing and fit and ran 10 miles a day, and could do approx. 40,000 crunches in one session, and participated in the Iron Man contest, and maybe did a little bodybuilding in her spare time. That’s really not need-to-know information.

The exception to the rule would be this:

“Hey Elle, my ex is coming up behind you to beat the crap out of you with her extremely large and bulging-veined arms. If I were you, I’d run really REALLY fast.”

Just thought you should know,
Elle
