Fun Facts Friday - Q & A

Today is a rainy, dreary, and cold Friday. But you know what? I totally don't care. I'm just happy that it's Friday and my rest day. Even better, I'm getting my hair cut after work, right after PT actually.

Oh, I'm also happy that I was tagged again for the 11 Random Questions posts going around (twice). This makes Fun Facts Friday a breeze ;-) But I hope it's still fun. I don't know about you guys, but I like reading answers and learning about bloggers. Sometimes I'm surprised actually. Plus, it can be fun to deviate from the standard posts.

Since most of you have been tagged or already seen this a few times, I'm just going to skip right to the questions that were posed for me to answer. Some were really hard to answer by the way!

Questions from Samantha at Running and Cupcakes:
  1. What is your #1 go to workout song? Oh, not sure I have an absolute #1. I always start a run with Eminem's 'Till I Collapse
  2. If you had to choose 3 foods to eat for the rest of your life (and nothing else) what would they be? Oatmeal, Pizza, Peanut Butter
  3. If you were given an unlimited vacation budget – but it had to be used on ONE trip – where would you go and why? Italy to see where my great-grandfather lived.
  4. What are you more afraid of: snakes or spiders? Snakes
  5. Puppies or kitties? Do you have any? Puppies - I have 2 crazy cocker spaniels 
  6. What dead rockstar would you bring back if you could? Kirk Cobain (first thing that popped into my head)
  7. What is the most random thing you collect (or have collected?)? Maybe Garbage Pail Kid Cards? I think I still have them actually.
  8. What one article of clothing (or accessory) do you have to wear every single day? Shoes??? LOL
  9. If you could only eat FRUITS or VEGGIES, but not both, which would you choose? Veggies
  10. Beach or mountains? Why? Beach - um, what's the name of my blog again ;-)
  11. What is your favorite band EVER? I think this is impossible to narrow down. I have several sort of for different reasons though. Like Guns n' Roses, Aerosmith, Tori Amos, but I don't really listen to these all the time anymore. See, tough question.
Questions form Jolene at Determined to Be
  1. What is your biggest fear? Losing loved ones
  2. How tall are you? 5'2" (but last doc visit they said 5' 1/2" - I'm denying this)
  3. How many boyfriends or girlfriends have you had in your life? Serious serious or just "seeing" each other?
  4. What is your favorite food? Pizza 
  5. What is your biggest pet peeve? Oh I have a list! Probably lying. 
  6. Where are your top 3 destinations you’d like to travel to in your life? Italy, Wine Country, Greece
  7. What color are your eyes? Brown
  8. How did you find my blog? Through Jess
  9. What was the first blog you ever read? OR Why did you start a blog (answer depending on which you are – a reader or a writer, or both!) Oh man, I can't remember the first one I read. I started blogging because Jason thought it might be a good way for me to do something I enjoy (write) and make some extra money. No money, but lots of friends!
  10. iPhone? Droid? Blackberry? Droid
  11. What errand do you hate the most? Or cleaning chore? Putting clothes away
Now it's your turn! You can answer all, some, one or just tell me something else totally random. But you gotta play along ;-)

Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Rest day
  • Happy hour with friends
  • Hair cut
  • Reading your responses (hint hint)

Mid-Week Mix-Up - Disconnecting to Reconnect

Another Double Workout This morning I got up when Jason got up to go to swim. The plan was to do Cathe's MMA Kickboxing DVD then do back and triceps at lunch or after work. I really needed a day off from running - I had run 5 days straight. And wouldn't you know it that my cross-training day also happens to be the first morning in months that it was in the low 60's. Really? Talk about bad timing. I almost feel like I let the universe down by not taking advantage of the crazy cool temps. And of course they go right back up the rest of the week. Humph.... But, I listened to my body, my feet, my piriformis...all telling me to not run. So, I didn't. I did my kickboxing workout (sulking just a bit I won't lie). But it was a good way to "kick" off the morning. During lunch, I ran home to get in my back and triceps weights done. I went with my same back and triceps workout as last week. No gym means no assisted pullups or barbell rows. So, I do worry a bit

Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here .
