So Nicole over at Running for Love came up with a little running survey and I thought it would be fun to repost on my blog with MY answers lol… Sidenote: Nicole is also planning a wedding for this year! AWESOME!! :D
* what is your favorite type of cross training?
I haven’t really been cross training… whoops… Does working on my feet and carrying two,
5 gallon buckets of ice to the pop machine while doing bicep curls count?
* what is your favorite song to run to?
I don't really have one favorite song and I tend to listen to all sorts of different genres of music while I run from classical to hard rock lol.. just depends on my mood and what type of run it is
* what brand of shoes do you wear?
Nike Lunar Glides or Brooks Pure Flow
* do you wear a hat when you run?
Usually yes
* what temperature is your favorite for running?
I hate cold weather so I would say anywhere from 60-80 lol… yeah, I’m crazy ;)
* do you have any big races coming up?
I have multiple little 5ks, my 2nd half marathon on May 7th (this weekend), and my first full marathon on October 16th! :)
* what is your favorite distance?
to just run… 5 miles… to race… half marathon
* are you a morning, noon or evening runner?
I am not a morning person so running in the morning is difficult for me… i like noon or evening TONS better!
* do you run solo or with a buddy?
I tend to run by myself… every once in a blue moon you’ll read on my blog that I ran with someone… which is also fun… but I find it hard to coordinate schedules so tend to be a lone runner
* what's your favorite post run snack?
Chocolate milk blended with peanut butter, a banana, honey, cinnamon, carnation drink (added nutrients), and ice while I sit in an ice bath while eating a bagel
It is sad, but I had to use white milk in this
picture cuz I had run out of chocolate milk
* what's your FAVORITE race?
My absolute FAVORITE race so far has been my first ever half marathon!! I just loved the whole experience from traveling to a different state, to spending the weekend with just my parents, and running an all women’s race as my first half! :D HERE’s the recap!
* do you wear a garmin? If not how do you track your runs?
yes, my fiancé got me the forerunner 405cx for Christmas (I LOVE it!!) before that I used a nike+ sensor with my ipod
* what is your least favorite race?
I don't really have a least favorite as of right now… I’ll get back to you on that ;)
* what race is your favorite medal from?
My first half marathon! there was a medallion in the middle of the music note shaped medal (Nashville, Tennessee) that you could take off and put on a necklace
* who is your running idol?
I don't really have one, but I'm really starting to like Kara :)
* how long have you been a runner?
years that I’m counting… 1 :) (not counting HS track)
* (ladies) do you run with your engagement/wedding ring on?
no way! I am often times a klutz and just know that something would happen to my engagement ring before the wedding if I would wear it to run in or exercise in… not chancing it!
haha… couldn’t help it ;) I’m getting
married NEXT MONTH!!! :D
* what's your favorite workout? repeats? long runs? tempo? fartleks?
long runs… although they are my least favorite too ;) lol
Maybe I shouldn't be running in mine either! Yours looks a lot like mine! We have guys with good taste :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, How did you get your hands on the Brooks Pure Flow!!!! They dont come out till October and I been bugging Brooks to let me test a pair, I AM JEALOUS!! (seriously, where did you find them?)
ReplyDeleteSecond, this was fun to read. I think 4-5 bloggers will be at Cap City and I am 99.9999% sure I will be running that race on my B-Day
Love this! I'm stealing it :).

I always take my rings off... I'm so super paranoid about losing them!
ReplyDeleteHa! You know the one time I lost a ring my husband gave me? The time I took it off. Whoops. Luckily it was just a cheapie ring he bought me before we were engaged.
ReplyDeleteOoh, fun post idea and great to get to know you better!
ReplyDeleteIf I take my ring off, I usually forget to put it back on until after my husband finds it. I think it really hurts his feelings, so I try not to take it off, only for lifting weights.
What a fun post - thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteWT? I thought I was your running idol?
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteI always run with my wedding ring on, I'm scared once I set it down somewhere I'll lose it!
:)
I never run with my rings on...I am capt swell up and can't stand then being tight on my hands.
ReplyDeleteI am a lunarglide girl as well. Love.them.
good idea about carnation and chocolate milk...probably a lot cheaper than all that herbalife crap i buy!!
ReplyDeleteYay for finding your blog! ;) It's encouraging to find other Christian running blogs...I'll be following! Good luck with the final wedding details too, I see it's coming up!
ReplyDeleteSuper Yay for your wedding and your ring, hello gorgeous! This is a really fun post, always like learning more about the runners, then it is easier to feel like I actually know you, instead of just being some weird stalker!
ReplyDeletefun post and beautiful ring, zaneta!! getting so close!!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love this post because I thought that I was the only runner who refuses to run sans engagement/wedding ring. Eek, can you imagine falling and the diamond popping out or breaking your hand and having to have it cut off? That would be so sad.
ReplyDeleteI like this post. I love the half marathon distance.
ReplyDeleteI think planning a wedding counts as cross training? Yeah, pretty sure!
ReplyDeleteI think I might be with you on the favorite distances. I can't comfortably always hit 5 miles right now - but I'm going to make that a goal. When I do hit it I love it. And half marathons, after doing 3 so far, have become my favorite! A challenge - yet doable.
I remember your first half marathon report! It was so fun to read and got me so excited to be cool like you and run far!
