* 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

Usually yes

* what is your favorite distance?
to just run… 5 miles… to race… half marathon

I am not a morning person so running in the morning is difficult for me… i like noon or evening TONS better!

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
