The Check-Up: Runners, This Guy Wants to Fix Your Face

• We have the Body Odd to thank for this one. A New Jersey plastic surgeon issued a press release yesterday in which he coined a new phrase: “runner’s face,” the sunken, sallow face often seen on super fit, over-40 runners. What happens is the more you work out, the more fat you lose in your face, resulting in sunken, extra wrinkly sink which, he says, makes you look older than you are. The horrors! The good doctor’s solution?Botox, of course.

Here’s an idea: How about, instead, we give a nice round of applause to all the 40-, 50- and 60-year-old runners who hit the pavement day after day, rather than telling them they look old as dirt? That work for you?
