Wait, this IS a running blog too…

Running Blogger Survey

I got this survey from my newfound friend, Kelly from www.kellytheculinarian.com and it sounded like fun!

Best Run Ever

I have had a few good races over the last year, since becoming more serious about my running…I’d say the Fox Valley 20 miler last year, or the Trailbreaker half marathon I did just last weekend were my best to date.

Always need to have fun!

I couldn’t be more blessed to have my sister’s support!

Three Words that Describe My Running:

Freeing, therapeutic, required

Some awesome running friends who keep me sane

Egg Shell Shuffle with great friends

Trained all summer with this amazing woman!

My Go-To Running Outfit

Depends on weather for sure…summer is tank/skirt, while winter time I wear running tights and LAYERS. Keeping my ears and hands warm are most important.

My fav summer outfit

Quirky Habit While Running

2 Tablespoons of organic peanut butter dipped in chia seeds…I have this before nearly every run, and for sure before EVERY race

Morning, Mid-day, or Evening

Yes, yes, and yes…I love running in the evenings while watching the sunset, but if I have friends to run with I will get up early.

Running at sunset, LOVE

I Won’t Run Outside When It’s:

TOO windy, or icy.

Had to turn around, too darn icy…

Cold, but a great run with awesome friends!

Worst Injury – And How I Got Over It

My knee which is ongoing, and has been for over 20 years now…but I deal with it, take care of it, let it rest, and keep pressing forward. I rest when needed, whether I like it or not. I haven’t ran in a week now, but know it’s necessary.

I Felt Most Like a Badass Runner When

I PR’d just last weekend. Also, finishing the Chicago Marathon with my sis! I’ve never won an AG medal, and am learning to be ok with not “placing.” I run my own race. J
