Runners This and That

Found this on my Foodie Pen Pal Lish’s site and if you don’t know by now I’m a sucker for Q&A.  I find it calms me down to think of my blessings and what brings me joy when I’m in the midst of chaos. I promise I’ll get back to profound posting soon.

What is your favorite type of crossing training?  

Get me in that pool for some laps!

What is your favorite song to run to?
The birds in the air. The crunch of leaves. I listen to music to pump me before a big race and it always includes California Dreamin’ by the Mamas and the Papas.

What brand shoes do you wear when you run?
Asics or Brooks. I’m a neutral girl. I’ve given Newtons a try-no go. I wear Nike frees for speed work, which is fun.

Do you wear a hat when you run?
I love winter because it means I can wear one of my many favorite warm hats!

What temperature is your favorite for running?
45 and dry.

Do you have any big races coming up?
Philly Half and Rehoboth Beach Marathon. Gonna kick my booty.

What is your favorite distance?
Half Marathon.

Are you a morning, noon or evening runner?
I used to be morning but now I’m relishing in my bible study in the am so I’m running in the evenings on weekdays and mornings on weekends. Fridays are sacred off days unless I need a “lappy hour”.

Do you run solo or with a buddy?
It really depends. I much prefer a buddy either human or canine.

What’s your favorite post run snack?
It used to be chocolate milk but now that milk is on the verboten list I’m not sure….

What did you love about your first race?
It made me feel like I had actually accomplished something I started; it was awesome.

Do you enjoy getting a medal at the end?
I do for long races and I do keep them.

Who is your running idol?
Paula Radcliffe.

How long have you been a runner?
10 years.

(Ladies) Do you run with your engagement/wedding ring on?
Sigh. Don’t have one of those….

What’s your favorite workout? repeats? long runs? tempo?
I love hill repeats. Sadistic is good.

Your turn. Copy and post on YOUR blog and spread the love.
