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.
 |
| Winter |
 |
| 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
 |
| Last weekend… |
 |
| I can’t look at this pic without chocking up. Yup…crying. I have the best sister ever for doing this with me! |
Potential Running Goal for 2013
Sub 2 hour ½ marathon is my current goal.
Next Race Is
Great Western ½ marathon, right here in St. Charles on May 5th.
This was a total blast…hope my running friends “link up” and post their answers!

I think I could run year-round in shorts if I had my ears and hands warm.
