Virgin Marathoner Vies for Bachelorette's Attention

Pro marathoner Josh Cox is on a new ABC reality TV show called The Bachelorette 3. Cox placed 7th a year ago in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. He is candid on the show about his faith and about being a virgin at age 29.

Reader update: "Josh was eliminated in the cut from eight to six last night. At one point he was describing to the bachelorette how he runs 15 to 25 miles a day and how that was what he was 'meant to do.' The girl was looking at him like, 'You are really full of yourself.' As he continued talking about his mileage, another guy came in and took her away." Guess Josh should have talked fartleks instead of total mileage. Live and learn.
