So I missed Bodypump on Saturday ( sad face) because I was sleeping in from the (amazing!) Legwarmers concert after getting in late and then ended up doing a leg workout later that day so today's workout was focused on arms!
I also was pretty excited to use my new lifting gloves I got yesterday. Take a wild guess on what color they were ;)
One of the bloggers I follow, The Hungry Runner Girl, posted this fun running survey a few days ago and I thought it'd be a fun thing to fill out:)
2. If you could choose the flavor of gatorade at your next race’s aid stations, what would it be? always lemon-lime
3. If I gave you a $100 gift card to a running store, what would be the first thing that you would purchase with it? At the moment, new shoes! And if I had any money left over, anything that caught my eye
4. Do you prefer to follow a training plan or wake up and decide then how far and how fast you want to run? When training for a race, I absolutely follow a training plan. When I'm not training for a race, I just wake up and decide how far I'm going when I'm running.
5. Would you rather start your run with the uphill and end on the downhill or start your run with the downhill and end with the uphill? Start with the uphill
6. When you can’t run, what type of cross-training do you choose to do? elliptical
7. What is your preference—> Out and back, point to point or loop runs? Loops
8. If you could recommend ANY running related item to a new runner, it would be a—> a GPS watch. No matter how far or fast you are going, it's a nice way to keep track of your runs.
9. Do you ever see any wild animals while out on your runs? HA! Story of my life. Deer (common occurrence in Crozet), bunnies, geese (who decided to chase me), bees (in my hair), horses (though they weren't really wild because they were at a farm, but I still ran by them)
10. Ever gotten lost while out on a run? Nope
11. If you could have one meal waiting and ready for you each time you got home from a run for the next 30 days… what would that meal be? Hmmm....when I was training lately, it is always breakfast food because I run in the morning and usually have something small before hand to tie me over.
12. Capris or shorts… what do you run in most often? Shorts
13. At what mile (or how many minutes) into your run does your body start to feel like it is warming up and ready to go? Around 2 miles...course depending on the distance. The first mile is never enjoyable haha.
14. What do you do with your key when you run? Tie it in my shoelace
15. If you could relive any race that you have done in the past, which one what it be? Disney Princess Half!!
16. What type of run is your least favorite type of run? When you can sense ahead of time that you just aren't going to have a good run or you're just exhausted.
17. What has been your biggest motivation lately to get out the door to get your run on? Wanting to wear new running shorts (seriously, they are so comfortable). Plus getting the body back into running mood to start training for another half soon.
18. When you go for a run, do you leave right from your front door or do you drive somewhere to start? Living up in NOVA, I just go out the front door but in Crozet, I would have to drive somewhere.
19. When running in daylight—> are sunglasses a must or an annoyance? I honestly can't remember the last time I wore my sunglasses....
20. When you get tired, what keeps you from quitting? "That I've done a marathon with a hurt IT band and a little run is nothing compared to that" or the usual...well, I'm ____ distance from home/car, walking will just take longer haha.
