Well I guess it is my turn. I work nights so I am posting this now. I might not get back to it until tomorrow afternoon.<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><b>QUESTIONS</b></span><br><br>
1. Why do you run? <span style="color:#008080;">I started running for fitness, and discovered I enjoyed it.</span><br>
2. What is your greatest accomplishment? <span style="color:#008080;">So far my greatest running accomplishment was a 7 mile walk/run combination. It let me see how far I have come since I started running. Work wise - getting through training in my new department with out making any errors. No one before or since has managed that. Personally - coming to terms with the fact that I am a wonderful person with a lot to offer. I had/have self-esteem issues and it took me a long time to be able to say that and really feel it.<br></span> 3. What is your motto/theme song? <span style="color:#008080;">I don't really have one.</span><br>
4. How do you deal with bad runs? <span style="color:#008080;">I tell myself that at least I am running and the next one will be better.</span><br>
5. Do you reward yourself for good runs? How? <span style="color:#008080;">I don't reward myself for each good run because that is a reward in itself, but I will reward myself for each milestone I pass. I will buy myself a new gadget or book to celebrate.</span><br>
6. Who do you admire most? <span style="color:#008080;">People who put their lives on the line to benefit others. Police officers, fire fighters, and of course members of our Armed Forces.</span><br>
7. What is the greatest advice you have ever received? <span style="color:#008080;">To be myself. To like myself. To embrace this life I have and live it to the fullest.</span><br>
8. What do wish you had learned younger? <span style="color:#008080;">See above. I could have saved myself alot of heartache if I had learned that lesson years ago.</span><br>
9. What do you wish you could do but can't? <span style="color:#008080;">I actually try to focus on what I can do instead of what I can't do.</span><br>
10. How would your friends describe your personality? <span style="color:#008080;">Loyal, kind, friendly, an introvert with a dry sarcastic sense of humor. *grin*</span><br>
11. What do you wear running? favorite outfit? <span style="color:#008080;">In my house just a sports bra and compression shorts. The 2 times I have ran out side I wore a sports bra with a tech shirt over it, and compression shorts with looser running shorts over them.</span><br>
12. What has been your favorite race? <span style="color:#008080;">I have yet to run one so I don't have a favorite.</span><br>
13. Do you have a goal race right now? <span style="color:#008080;">I have a goal to finish the Eugene Half-Marathon. Even if I have to walk some of it, my goal is to finish.</span><br>
14. What makes you happy? <span style="color:#008080;">running, reading, my dog, my friends, the 30's and many other things I don't have time or space to type out.</span><br>
15. Tell us one interesting thing about you that you haven't said (at least not often) on this forum in the past. <span style="color:#008080;">I am pretty open about everything, and I am not really all that interesting. I guess I will have to go with the fact that I am an avid reader. I read at least 2 books a week and I carry a book in my car for the long red lights at the train crossing. *grin* I have taken books to football games (my dad hassled me the whole time) and to weddings.</span><br>
16. Tell us one interesting thing about another user of this forum that has not been posted (at least not often) on this forum in the past (make sure the other person will not object to posting the info!).<br><span style="color:#008080;">Ummm I don't have an answer to this one.<br><br><br><span style="color:#000000;">Well that is the list of questions. Feel free to ask more if you like. I do want to say, that I have been reading the POTD's when I get a chance and I have enjoyed them all. I feel like I have gotten to know this group a lot better and I am glad I ventured out of the 30's threads to lurk/join you all here.</span><br></span>
