1. Why do you run? My reasons change- sometimes purely physical, sometimes it's more the mental aspects of it. I love the feeling I get when I challenge myself beyond my comfort level.<br><br>
2. What is your greatest accomplishment? I was going through a really rough time in the spring of 2006- I was training for the London marathon at the time and my training wasn't what it should be nor was my nutrtion- I dropped several pounds without trying and overall my energy was really low. I ended up pulling myself up by the bootstraps (or whatever that phrase is) and PR'ing that year by 15 minutes.<br><br>
3. What is your motto/theme song? Life is how you change it.<br><br>
4. How do you deal with bad runs? Recently, I've had more bad ones than good, so I just tell myself that the bad ones will generally lead to a good one!<br><br>
5. Do you reward yourself for good runs? How? No...but whenever I've done a marathon I always buy a jacket or some other type of commerative clothing...guess that counts.<br><br>
6. Who do you admire most? My husband because he's the hardest worker I've ever met.<br><br>
7. What is the greatest advice you have ever received? Whatever you can do, do even better.<br><br>
8. What do wish you had learned younger? Not to settle in life.<br><br>
9. What do you wish you could do but can't? Run faster...<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
10. How would your friends describe your personality? Loyal, funny, easygoing.<br><br>
11. What do you wear running? favorite outfit? Since I moved to SoCal from Boston, I wear shorts and a short sleeve shirt every day- it's a great change.<br><br>
12. What has been your favorite race? London marathon<br><br>
13. Do you have a goal race right now? Surf City half marathon in Feb.<br><br>
14. What makes you happy? olives, good red wine, yoga, my cats and my husband.<br><br>
15. Tell us one interesting thing about you that you haven't said (at least not often) on this forum in the past.<br>
I was picked to be a 2007 sponsored athlete for Goody (Team Stay Put- I believe Merigayle is on it too), so that was a big highlight of my year this year. Unfortunately because I had to have surgery this summer, some of my goal races for this year went out the window.<br><br>
