Meanwhile, at the Runner’s World headquarters…

Executive 1: All right, guys, we have all the monthly content. Now all we need is a cover.
Executive 2: Shit. That’s going to be tough.
Executive 1: Yes, I know, but let’s try.
Executive 3: Guys! I have an idea!
Executive 1: Let’s hear it.
Executive 3: Let’s have a girl. Running.
Executive 1: I love it! That’s why we hired you, #3. But, what color should the background be?
Executive 3: Shit. I don’t know.
Executive 2: Wait! What if we used… no nevermind… I don’t know guys. This is too hard.
Executive 4: Guys… I know this sounds risky, but hear me out. What if we use… blue.
Executive 1: Number 4! I love it! Guys, let’s use a woman… running… with a blue background. So that covers it right? That’s all we need, right?
Executive 2: I’m afraid not, boss. We need to figure out what she’ll be… wearing.
Executive 1: Shit. We’ll be here all night.
