running survey

oooh fun, i found (or rather brent made...haha look'a'me i just figured out how to link stuff. i rule) a running survey. something else to do at work that has nothing to do with work! nice...

1. What is your favorite long run pace?
ha. favorite long run pace would imply i enjoy long runs...what are you nuts? but okay, okay... my best time so far, combined with my most enjoyed run was at an 11:18 minute pace, if you wanna get specific!!

2. What is your favorite (or typical) pre-run meal?
easy. bagel with peanut butter and banana slices.. i've done that before about half my long runs...(i need to buy more bagels, speaking of...) but i also enjoy banana/peanut butter/oj smoothie. no really... it's good!

3. What was the distance of your first ever, official race?

umm... seeing as how i'm a "non-runner" i havent actually been in any races... but i DID race my gym class back in 8th grade...the mustang mile. and i beat the tall blonde beautiful girl (Miss Popularity) by like 8 seconds...it was the highlight of my year. truely. (8:29 minute mile. yup, still remember it. ::sigh::)

4. Do you typically run in groups or run alone?
alone... even when i'm in a group, i run alone. its not that i'm anti-social, i just cant do the whole run/breathe/talk/pace myself thing!! (as we learned this past saturday....ughhhh)

5. Name one or two NEW running experiences (occurring within the past year), that you have grown the most from.
alright, again, little miss "not a runner" over here doesnt really have much to choose from, but actually, kinda.... today's run was the first time i ever really pushed myself (ok yeah... 10 miles a few weeks ago, hell, 6 miles is me pushing myself, but thats not what i mean).... today was different. and when i was done running today (how lame is this) i was actually pretty proud of myself. ya know, pat on the back and all that... made me feel like maybe i've been selling myself a little short with this whole running thing. so i guess today's run would be my answer!?!

6. What is your least favorite structure to run on/over?
ok well brent (developer of the survey) commented on running on bridges, and how he doesnt so much enjoy it... so since i cant think of anything specific i thought i'd comment on how much i actually like running on bridges. they make me feel like a little kid. and i like the sound they make (he and i are probably talking about different kinds of bridges, but meh...whatever!) so i'm making an executive decision to change this question from least to most favorite... and mine is bridges.


ok so fun right?! who doesnt love surveys!! now all of you can fill yours out and it'll be a good time had by all!
