So these questions (originating at anothermotherrunner.com) have been floating around the runner-blog world, so I thought I’d just go with it and post my answers too.
1. Best run ever: It’s hard to nail a run down as “the best,” but I went on a 5-mile run with The Husband a couple weeks ago that was pretty dang awesome. We kept each other going the whole time and stuck together. The run was really special to me because we normally run our separate ways on Saturday mornings. I hope we can have more running dates in the future.
2. Three words that describe my running: Fun (mostly). Liberating. Empowering.
3. My go-to running outfit is: A Nike Dri-Fit shirt, capris, SmartWool socks, and my Saucony Mirages/Brooks Launches.
4. Quirky habit while running: I don’t know how quirky this is, but I pump my right arm higher and faster than my left. Maybe I think it makes me go faster or something.
5. Morning, midday, evening: I love mornings, but when I’m too lazy to get up, I run after work.
6. I won’t run outside when it’s: Dark. I’m too terrified to run alone outside in the dark. I might go if I have a running buddy, though.
7. Worst injury—and how I got over it: Well, I’m still getting over some moderate left-foot pain due to some plantar fasciitis and bad tendons, which might not be my “worst” injury, but it is definitely my longest-duration one. Now I get to go to physical therapy for some ASTYM (basically stimulation of the body’s healing process). (I’ll go into more detail later.)
8. I felt most like a badass mother runner when: Well, I’m not a mother runner–yet–but I feel most badass when I run further than I ever have before.
9. Next race is: Provo Halloween Half Marathon on October 27–I can’t wait. AND I’m so excited to be running it with my dear sister-in-law. 🙂
10. Potential running goal for 2013: No injuries! And to finish a few more halfs–and maybe a triathlon!
