Saw this over on Whine Less, Breathe More and thought it'd be fun to do on this cold (but sunny!) Friday. 1. What weather do you refuse to run in? Definitely not a big fan of lightning or sleet to be honest. Oh, and when it's raining/snowing so hard you can't see a foot in front of you - yeah I'm not down with that. 2. What distance is your “short” run? 3 miles 3. How do you stay hydrated while running? Water fountain, carry your own etc. If I'm running outside I don't. I know, I know - terrible! But if I'm crankin' out my miles on the treadmill I always have my water bottle close at hand. 4. Music or no music? Definitely music. Lately though at the gym I've been watching Glee on my iPad which is WAY better than music <3 5. Do you ever run nekkid? {Without GPS, not literally silly} ha-ha glad this was clarified...I was scared there for a minute...I've heard of naked Yoga (OH MY!!) but naked running?!?!...OH MY x 2! Anywho, most of the time I run 'nekkid'. I have a Garmin watch, but I forget it most of the time and lately it hasn't been working properly when I do remember it (which reminds me I have to look into that...it's not even a year old!!) 6. What is the first thing you do after a run? Definitely drink water. If it was a long run, I try to remember to stretch and foam roll at least a little bit....but I'm not very good at it. My husband is always reminding me to stretch but I'm just not that patient. 7. What’s your favorite running shoe ever? I'm a Saucony girl through and through. Right now I'm wearing the Guide 6s. But I've had these for almost a year now and am in need of a new pair. 8. Do you make deals with yourself to finish a tough run? What are they?
I wouldn't say deals. On tough runs or when I'm just not feelin' it I constantly remind myself to just keep going...doesn't matter how fast (or slow in my case) but just keep going and push through. 9. Two things you can not run without besides kicks? my iPod - that's really it. I don't need much to enjoy a great run. 10. Running has helped me ___________. discover so many things about myself that I didn't know I had in me. 11. Are you following a training plan? If so, what does your weekly routine look like? No training plan at the moment. The only time I followed a training plan was when I was training for my first half marathon and of course the marathon. At this point, my weekly routine keeps me in shape enough to where I always feel ready to go do a half whenever I wanted to. It may not be the fastest race ever but I know I could finish it without worrying about anything. 12. Be honest, do you regularly stretch + foam roll post run? See # 6 - so that's a big fat negative. But I'm workin' on it and trying to listen to my body more.
