Fun Facts Friday - My 7 Links

Today is a much-needed rest day for me. I think part of why yesterday's workout kind of stunk (well, the running part) was because I was running low on steam. My legs are talking to me today as well, so a run would be out of the question and there isn't a spin class (which would be out of the question too actually). So, rest it is, and I'm going to enjoy it.

I had thought about doing a Fun Facts Friday post about the heat and knowing you're in the South when...kind of thing. But, last week I was tagged by three lovely ladies (Kris @ Spabettie Tracie @ Commit to Fit and Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun) to do a 7 Links post. I have put it off too long (been way overthinking it). So, for Fun Facts Friday - My 7 Links

The Goal
To unite bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create a bank of long but not forgotten blog posts that deserve to see the light of day again.

The Rules
1)     Blogger is nominated to take part

2)     Blogger publishes his/her 7 links on his/her blog – 1 link for each category.
  • Your most beautiful post
  • Your most popular post
  • Your most controversial post
  • Your most helpful post
  • A post whose success surprised you
  • A post you feel didn’t get the attention it deserved
  • The post that you are most proud of
3)     Blogger nominates up to 5 more bloggers to take part.

I must say, this was very difficult for me. I know I probably over-thought it of course. I rarely ever look at the analytics for my blog to be honest. I had no clue what post might have been most popular, the one I thought wasn't actually.

Then I started just skimming through posts. Wow, I don't really say much that's earth-shattering, insightful, or even that whitty. I just ramble on about my workouts and recipes. I do cook a lot I realized. I read so many inspiring blogs. So much wisdom and motivation. Now I wonder why you guys keep coming back LOL. Anyway, I did my best to follow through with this tag. Maybe you guys can fill in the blanks for me.

Most Beautiful Post

I chose my 10-year wedding anniversary post for this one - Fun Facts Friday - 10 Years Ago.

Most Popular
This one surprised me. It was just a recap of a day at the lake from last summer. Maybe it was the bikini shots ;-)

Most Controversial
Honestly clueless. Again, I rarely say anything that would rock the boat.

Most Helpful
I had a hard time trying to figure out what you guys might deem as a helpful post. I decided to go with the post about My Home Gym. It wasn't necessarily a popular post, but I thought it was helpful to show that you can indeed get good results working out at home.

Surprise Success
I think my Fun Facts Friday posts (especially based around running or ranting) are sort of a surprise success. I love love all the fun comments I get though!

Didn't get enough attention
I thought this one might have attracted more attention than it did - The History of Me - Why I Move - maybe it was because it was a lengthy post. And also the to-enjoy challenge.

Most proud

For me this is being proud of an accomplishment no so much the post itself. It was my post recapping my first half marathon.

So many of you have already been tagged, so rather than tag anyone, I would love for you to share a link to your blog for one of these categories.

Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Rest day
  • Pizza Friday

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

Let's Have Coffee

If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...
