tbh Bayshore Marathon was my favorite course because we got to run along the entire length of a peninsula on the coast of Lake Michigan for 26.2 miles like fuck yes. it went by so fast even though it was a marathon.

Finishing my first marathon! I had been battling with a lot of health issues then and I was just so thankful to finish and hug my mom and stuff my face with food.

Who We Are by Imagine Dragons or Work Bitch by Britney...depends on the run

Not track events but I've done everything from 5ks to marathons.

7. What was the moment you realized you wanted to pursue a particular hobby?

Well for me, my first passion was figure skating and it was when I was at my friends birthday party which was at an ice rink and I just wanted to be pretty and delicate but still strong and yeah then I spent the next 15 years of my life figure skating until my body decided it was time for a change!

8. What is your favorite active clothing brand?

Because I am an impoverished college student, I'm going to say that running in the clothes I received for free really do the trick! (If I had money it would be Brooks tho...)

Alternative and rock

Figure skating

What's your favorite running story you have?

there are a few really, and it is a feeling more than a story I think: Just that feeling you get where the pacing, your mind, and your muscle all fall into place, a steady rhythm that meditates the mind and makes me smile for no reason, regardless of weather (snow, wind, rain, sun) and regardless of things going on in my life (stress, anger, happiness, sadness). So my favorite running story is more a running feeling I think. :)

Fellow runners, I need your opinions

I have always used the MapMyRun app on my phone to track my runs, but I just received a Nike+ Fuel Band as a gift. In your opinions, should I stick to MapMyRun and just use the Fuel Band on its own, or is the Nike+ Running App better than MapMyRun?

adistancerunner replied to your photo:That’s me, first lap of my first ever...

The fact that you fell into the water and not just any of the other hurdles makes it 10000x better

But it'd actually be 20000x better because I fell again on the third lap

if you could make a dream team of running blogs, who would be your top seven?

My top 7 in no particular order (except Emily)

1. Emily over at dirttrailsandsideponytales

2. Cole (runningxctf)

3. Chris (adistancerunner)

4. Matt (runningredmatt) - fellow buckeye/Cincinnatian kind of

5. Ellie (heartland-harrier)

6. Bassel (Run-nyc-262)

7. Manuel (justlivelifebro)

But there are about a million alternates that I would want on the team too, I don’t like only being allowed 7 - Plus some of my injured buddies would for sure be added so

if you could race one person from tumblr, who would it be?

oh man I don’t know everyone is faster than I am, but probably Cole (runningxctf) or Chris (adistancerunner) just because they’re both really cool and we could just chill after

edit: Or I could just race an injured Gabe, probably the only chance I would ever have of beating him
