A Fun Running Survey!
A Fun Running Survey!
Hey everyone! I am switching things up today with an evening post that is actually a fun running survey I found on Janae’s blog, Hungry Runner Girl. Feel free to chime in down in the comments with some of your answers! Let’s get into it, shall we? : ) 1. If you could have one meal that was in your kitchen and waiting for you to eat each day after your run, what would it be (for this meal we are…

High Five Friday
Well HELLLOOOOOO Friday!
I’m so glad it’s Friday. No particular reason other than it means the weekend is just hours away. Does anyone ever say BOOOO! It’s Friday? I sure hope not.
I’m going to switch things up a little bit for today’s High Five Friday. It’s been a long, long time since I did a fun little survey post. Over the weekend, Christinaanswered questions from a Liebster Award that were…

2013 Running Survey!
Sorry if the formatting sucks… Doing this from my phone.
Best race experience: This might sound dumb or cheesy, but I think my best race experience was my worst race of the year: the Carmel Marathon 8k in April. It was slow and painful, and it made me realize that something had to change. I decided that day I was going to start training for a triathlon, and that triathlon re-sparked my interest in running. So while the race itself sucked (The half marathon I ran in November was at a pace almost 20 seconds per mile faster), it was a turning point for me and the race experience was important.
Best run: I did a half mile repeats workout in September when the weather first started to cool down, and I felt really good and fast. I felt like my work was really paying off on that run.
Best new piece of gear: Either my arm band for my iPhone or my cold gear running tights. The tights are probably more useful, but my boyfriend got me the armband all on his own and I thought it was really sweet.
Best piece of running advice you received: I’ve followed Jeff Galloway’s half marathon plan both times I trained for a half, and the second time around I really listened to the “run the long run slow” advice. Not only did I come to enjoy it, but I think it was one of the reasons I made it through injury free. I’ve learned that it kind of takes discipline to run slow, but it’s worth it. Most inspirational runner: dang idk. I think everyone I follow is awesome, first of all. I also listened to this podcast earlier this year about a Danish woman who ran 366 marathons in a year. She was just a regular person, and decided she wanted to do that, so she went for it. I feel like that’s what running is about: ordinary people doing awesome things and achieving crazy goals.
If you could sum up your year in a couple of words, what would they be: progress, learning, awesome
Before I go workout..
