Janice tagged me a couple months ago, so I’m just getting back to it now.  Here goes:

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

10 years ago, my running didn’t exist.  I’ve been running only as long as I’ve had this blog.  10 years ago I was very overweight and eating like a maniac and wondering why my pants don’t fit, thinking my pants were just shrinking in the wash.

2. What is your best and worst run/race experience?

Best race experience: The Trail Half Marathon in Michigan.  We had 4 inches of snow and I was totally prepared for it because of my training.  I PR’d my half marathon times, even though it was very hilly trails and my PR’s was on flat pavement.

Worst race experience: The Detroit Marathon.  I arrived injured, got more injured in the race, and wanted to die.  Seriously.

3. Why do you run?

I have no logical answer.  I think its because most people I know don’t run and I want to do something special.  And I think wicking fabric is sexy.

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

Best advice: Bandaids on the nipples.

Worst advice: Get motion control shoes with extra cushioning on the heels.

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

I can eat an entire 9 inch cheesecake with my eyes closed.
