Getting to Know Me

It's Friday and that means it's also Fun For Friday time. This week I took the easy way out in terms of inspiration and decided borrow a "getting to know you quiz" from Angela from Happy Fit Mama.

I think these posts can be fun and a great way to learn new tidbits about each other. Rather than tagging people, I'd love to hear your response to some (or even all) of the questions!

1. Describe your perfect day.

It would definitely start with a mind-clearing, morning run. Since we're talking about my ideal day, it would mean I was off work with nothing on tap (no chores, no schedule). Jason and I might do a picnic lunch and take the pupsters for a nice walk. I would sit out on the patio, enjoy the sunshine on my face and read until my eyes were heavy. Then Jason and I might put the umbrella up, and continue to sit outside and just talk, maybe a glass of white wine just because.


2. What can you do today that you weren’t capable of doing a year ago?

I can run 2 double-digit days in a week and I can run race-pace for those double-digit miles. Guess my race pace has changed.

3. If you had to teach something, what would you teach and why?

This one is tough, because I want to say teach someone how to live a healthier, fitter life. And I'm trying to do that now with Where's the Beach Fitness. BUT, I have a huge passion for writing and had one very very inspiring professor. So, part of me has always wanted to teach rhetoric at the college level.

4. What is your most beloved childhood memory?

This one is almost impossible to answer. I have so many fond memories. One I think that really stands out is lying on the bed next to my mom while she was very pregnant with my sister. I was feeling her tummy, feeling my sisters feet kick. I had wanted a sibling so very badly, so this does stand out.

5. Describe your life in a 6 word sentence. 

Not as planned, but I'm happy.

6. What is your favorite blog post written. Link to it so we can all read it!

I had a hard time deciding on this one and would rather hear what you guys have liked. But, I am playing along, so a more recent favorite is the one I did just the other day - Happy as I Want to Be.


7. Describe yourself in one sentence. 

I am fiercely loyal and empathetic to a fault.

8. Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now? 

Gosh, I have no idea. Life never seems to go as planned right? Hopefully I'm healthy and happy at the very least.


9. What are your 3 favorite simple pleasures? 

Wine, pizza, riding or running with my husband.


10. If you had to move 3000 miles away, what is the one thing you would miss the most? 

My family. Hands down.


11. When you have a random hour of free time, what are you usually doing?

Reading.

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

Vacation Day 2 - Running, Reading, Relaxing

Running This morning I woke up a bit before 7 am. Of course, we had gone to sleep by 9....on vacation no less. I had thought I might try for an outdoor run, but the temps were already a humid 83 degrees by 8 am. So, I took my run to the treadmill. I had the Food Network to keep me occupied for a pretty decent 5 mile run. Running and watching tv isn't so bad ;-) I did 3 miles, then 4 1:00 athletic intervals then finished up another mile to round it out to and even 5. After stretching and rolling (yep, brought my TriggerPoint kit ), we packed up the cooler with lunch and headed down to the beach. Not a bad way to start the day if you ask me. Beach Time & Stair Cardio We set up our little umbrella camp and proceeded to just relax. I was excited to start one of the books I brought along with me: Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon . I've read her memoir, Lucky , and her first work of fiction, The Lovely Bones . . We were out for a few hours before taking a break.
