I noticed the immediate eye contact and smile on a Wednesday night fun run last month. On the run she slowed her pace to run with me on the 4 mile course and we got to know one another. She is married 4 years to a police officer in my town. No kids but has a Labrador dog. I invited her to join the group for beers afterwards that evening. She didn't join us that night, but has on subsequent Wednesday nights. Each time (meetings 2 and 3) she arrived before me and motioned for me to sit next to her as I arrived. Since this is a social circle I interact with regularly I did not escalate kino other than friendly hugs. Most of the women in this group are very affectionate and greet me with hugs.
Last week (meeting 3) she bought me a beer for the second round and when I offered to pay for it her response was , "Oh no, I want you to owe me one...." with a wink and a smile.
Our running group has a Facebook group she sent me a friend request, and I accepted it. Since then she contacted me via the messenger Saturday night to line up a carpool for the Sunday run. Just she and I. in the course of that conversation she then offered to purchase some food for the post run potluck. Witty banter ensues and we joke about beers for breakfast and a country song that mentions it. We now have an "Inside Joke".
The next morning I wake up late and meet her about 10 minutes later than we had agreed upon. I jump in her car and we have a platonic conversation on the way to the run. We arrive on time, she pays for parking, and we do the 8.5 mile hilly course. She runs with the speedsters, while I led the slower group, and made sure they turned on the correct trails.
After the run, as a group we dined on the potluck goodies, and the beer she brought. As we are about to get in the car and leave, I ask jokingly if she will be come give me a "tick check" . She is already in the drivers seat but replied warmly to the idea. " hhmmm oh really?" Here I decide to play it safe, and we talk about our high school days in neighboring towns. Along the way she complements how I look good with a shaved head, and I joke that I "grew through my hair at age 20" . Between the beer and the post run endorphins I reply to her deep diving with stories from my high school experience and a funny story from our 20th high school reunion where a female classmate told me she thought I was Mormon. She identified with that "goodie two shoes reputation" and we parted at my vehicle with no further excitement...except her asking if I will be at Wednesday night's run.
Now I'm not sure if I want to pursue this as a potential FWB or "secret society" relationship. The best options for a rendezvous would be Wednesday nights or Sunday Mid-days (which would be hot admittedly).
My other option is to keep it in Orbit mode and enjoy the sexual tension that is building. My best year of training I was surrounded with beautiful female runners who were great pace booty, and boosted my ego with gifts and attention. I trained hard (literally) and often and they kept me motivated.
I'm guessing her husband is rather controlling. Typical Police officer MO. I interpret her paying is more of an expression of her independence. The one time she mentioned him yesterday , she said he gained 20 pounds upon joining this latest city's police force. After I made a joke about cops and doughnuts...
Curious how the rest of you would play this going into our next public meeting....
