LONDON -- Don't attempt this very sporty proposal unless you're confident you can casually run several miles without doubling over in pain.

Martin Rolfe from Worthing in West Sussex recently went for a very important run, mapping out the words "will you marry me" over the course of his eight mile jog so he could propose to his partner of two years, Fatma Turk.

When she uploaded the data from his tracker to his computer, she didn't immediately see the cryptic message, telling him it looked like a strange route to take. To be fair, it does look like Rolfe had to run into a lot of dead ends to creatively pop the question.

"I did get a few strange looks when I was running up and down people's roads, but it was worth it," he said, according to the Mirror.

After Rolfe told Turk to look for the hidden words in the map, she saw thebbig question he was asking and said yes.
