Camping

Over the weekend I went camping with the church kids. It was my first time camping since I was a little girl and it was a lot of fun. We played games, cooked on the campfire, and took out the boats. During one of the running games at night I collided full force into one of the kids. Thankfully, the kid wasn't hurt....but it left with me a 'nice' reminder of the weekend.

Survey

I was tagged by Morgan a few days ago. Feel free to tag yourself with this running survey.

1. How would I describe my running 10 years ago?
- I was on the high school cross country team.

2. What is your best and worst race experience?
Best - It would be impossible to pick just one. I love race day magic.
Worst - San Diego Marathon in 2006 (I had an awesome time running with Jeff, but unfortunately there were several 'unusual' bathroom spots along the way.) :(

3. Why do you run?
- runners high
- to fit into my jeans

4. What is the best or worst piece of advice you've been given about running?
Best
- anything written by Danny Dreyer in ChiRunning
Worst
- not wearing heals sounds like a reasonable thing to do
Despite the facts I could never give up my favorite shoes, sorry Mark. :)

5. Tell us something surprising about yourself that not many people would know.
I have never tasted coffee even though it's one of my favorite scents.

I don't get it. I swear I felt like I was running fast---very fast.
I know it was hot and sunny, but I love the heat and I felt like 'Super Runner' listening to my music and enjoying the scenery around town. According to one of my absolute favorite websites I only ran 9 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes. There are some things in life, I'll never understand.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Happy Running!
