I got Tagged!

I was tagged by Al and Yas, I didn't even know what tagging was! LOL Well I'll answer the questions, but I'm not going to tag anyone else, because I think all the running peeps from WeWa have already been tagged.

1. How would you describe your running 10 years ago?

I used to run just to keep the pounds off, which quite frankly, was much easier to do at 27 than at 37! I definitely didn't do it competitively and never even dreamed of running in a race.

2. What is your best/worst running experience?

My best would have to be my first race, the Latrobe Rock N Run 5 mile run in June 2006. It was my first race ever, and I was so proud of myself. I never thought that I could do it. My time was 46:23 (9:17) and I thought that was pretty good for my first race.

My worst running experience was the 2008 Cook Forest Half Marathon. I did not dress appropriately for the race and it really affected my run. It was about 32 degrees when the race started, and I had a short sleeve shirt on. I know, I know how fucking stupid of me. That's me, never prepared!

3. Why do you run?

I run for many reasons...to stay in shape, keep the weight off and mostly for my sanity. It is my time and my thing, nobody else can take it away from me. It makes me feel strong and determined and I'm always amazed by what I can accomplish if I put my mind to it.

4. What is the best or worst piece of running advice that you've been given about running?

I would have to say to get good running shoes.

5. Tell us something surprising about yourself that not many people would know.

Hell I don't know, I am an open book, there is not much that peeps don't know! I guess that despite my prissy appearance (as my sister would say) I'm very much like a guy, I am athletic, love to watch and play sports and of course drink beer. My husband's friends think I'm the perfect wife.
