I was tagged by Chloe so here goes!!!
1. Best Run EVER:
Tough one as there are too many to chose from... I would have to say all of my 400 m hurdling races from the junior olympics all the way up to the college level... I think the 400 m hurdles is one of the hardest and most fun races in track and field.

2. Three Words that Describe my Running:Forefoot, relaxed, light
3. My Go-to Running Outfit:
Anything lululemon and bootie shorts. With the volume I've been doing lately texture is everything to me. I have chafage everywhere and try to keep it to a minimum. With Tri Slide and lululemon I am good to go! And of course my rev3 kit!

4. Quirky habits while running:
I hate hate hate when I'm doing a heart rate based long slow workout and somebody that looks super slow passes me. It totally eats me up inside. I do suck it up however and stick to the plan.

5. Morning, midday, evening:
In the summer - as early as possible. Running in the summer is like torture. If you don't get it done in the early am you might as well forget it because unless you have a portable IV, it probably will not happen.

6. I won’t run outside when it’s: a hurricane or when the ground is covered in snow.
7. Worst injury — how I got over it:
Not really from running but it kept me from running for a very very LONG TIME: multiple pelvis fractures (snowboarding off of big table tops in Park City, UT) and subsequent ORIF.

4 months later I was back to it! The come back journey was the best part for sure. As a DPT student, I did most of my own rehab.
8. I felt most like a badass mother runner when:
I do track workouts (especially 200 meter 400 meter repeats). I love everything about the track including the smell of rubber and I love flying around the curves. With training for an 140.6, my training program has been sans track workouts and I think I am going through withdraw. The closest thing I get to do now is maybe mile repeats~ ouchies.

9. Next Race is: Ironman Florida.
10: Potential Running goal for 2013:
Stick to the short stuff, lots of Rev3 events, and start to enjoy training again. With 2--140.6 distances in one year and with taking everything way too seriously, I have started to lose some passion. As for running specific goals, I would like to break a 1:30 in a half marathon and to break 19 minutes in a 5k! And more importantly restore balance and strength by doing some cross fit :)
