Woman seeking man she kissed at marathon hears from his wife

A Tennessee woman searching for the stranger she kissed while running the Boston Marathon this year says she finally heard back — from the mystery man's wife.

Barbara Tatge says her daughter had dared her to kiss a random, good-looking man as she ran through the town of Wellesley, where the women of Wellesley College traditionally offer kisses to runners.

After the April 20 race, her daughter took to social media to try to find the man, who clearly left an impression on her mom.

Tatge says The Wellesley Townsman, a Boston-area news outlet, passed on a letter addressed to her Sunday after the campaign generated nationwide attention.

The unidentified man's wife said the attention was fun but that the couple wanted to remain anonymous.

"When this story aired on the news we were pretty surprised," the mystery man's wife wrote in a portion of the letter quoted by The Townsman. "For me, I'm not mad. Believe me, our friends have gotten a lot of mileage out of this story and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them give my husband grief!"

I’m in my fifties and have missed the marathon with almost 100% success over the last fifty years. The marathon messes up traffic, making it impossible to drive across town for half the day. A real pain in the butt.

When I was little, the Marathon was a quaint Boston oddity. It was much better that way. Now it’s some weird religion for exercise fanatics, the beautiful people and Tony Robbins fans.

No one would get their lips on me like that unless I let them. And I would not let anyone but my wife do that!

there are those women called “cougars” because they want younger men..sometimes much younger men.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Funny that I get a lot of solicitations for MILFs and COUGARS.

I tend to wonder how old a woman should be to be considered a Cougar etc at my age...? I be 75 actually 24 celcius.. HA

Did she ‘check his oil’ too with that thumb? If so I can see how she thought they bonded.

If it please the court I ask that the verdict be set aside.

Counselor Yo-Yo, your evidence has been presented. I previously have asked the court to have the verdict set aside. In light of this new evidence I ask the court to find the defendant guilty by reason of physically affectations not entirely of the defendants fault. After all gentlemen of the jury, the quality of mercy is not strained, is that not so?
