My best race was absolutely the Steamboat Half Marathon.
But I’d say the coolest and most unique run I’ve ever had was my run with my MOH the morning of my wedding.
To be running in Golden, CO, with my best friend, about ready to MARRY my other best friend — just made it a special run. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Quirky Habit While Running
I am SUPER focused when I run — so I probably either look like I need to poop, or like I want to hurt someone. It’s cute.
Morning, Mid-day, or Evening
I prefer mornings…but when it’s freezing I’m all about after work.
I Won’t Run Outside If It’s…
I have access to a treadmill in my building — so I’m a TOTAL wuss. Rain, snow, cold, dark, I’m probably on the treadmill.
Worst Injury And How I Got Over It
I’ve been VERY lucky with injuries. Only a minor case of runners knee, which kept me away from running for about a month. God save Zach if I ever have to take off any longer.
Potential Running Goal For 2013
I am running the St Louis Half on October 27 — and my main goal is to just PR and/or FINISH the race.
Next Race Is
St Louis RnR baby!

I might have to do this survey too! LOL my focused face can sometimes be constipation face too. OMG I’m so excited for your race!!! You’re gonna rock it. You’ll definitely finish, I mean you just ran a half on the treadmill!
LOL but on the treadmill I’m afraid of falling so I keep going. Outdoors — I just wanna stop.
Yeah but in a race, you’ll be so pumped with all the music and people, you won’t stop!
The coolest and most unique run for me was in golden on your wedding day! So honored to be a part of the day and that you’d want to run with me. And I enjoyed running thru the cute town and working those hills like champs! 😉 and our run also led us to delicious breakfast!
Awwwe this is why you’re my favorite 🙂
Worst running injury was IT Band syndrome. It sucked. I had to take several MONTHS off of running to let it heal and get myself healthy!
Are you as miserable as I am when I can’t run? It’s not pretty.
Yeah, but I did other things, and when I finally started running again, it felt so good to be free and healthy!
Me and the bike/elliptical because VERY close during that 4 week period. Felt like forever.
Quirk. Sometimes I sing and air drum when I run. I suspect this means I need to run faster?
Oh I TOTALLY sing and fist pump when I run. True story.
Ha! I love that you say “God save Zach if I have to take off any longer” when you’re talking about injuries. I had to take off 3 months once when I got an acute fracture in my foot–it was not pleasant for anyone around me!
I love that you went running the morning of your wedding; what a great memory to have! I would love to do that as well (I’ll just have to get engaged first ha!)
Best run ever: Race for the Roses 2010 half marathon, despite a fall that left me bleeding quite a bit while I was running. 🙂
Outfit: Capri pants, colorful sports bra, tank top, Nike Free’s
Morning, mid-day, or evening. Morning. Always morning. I might force myself at night, but it’s not good.
I won’t run outside if… It’s cold, rainy, or too windy
Worst injury and how I got over it: Sesamoiditis, and I still can’t get over it. I don’t want to take a solid 6 weeks off my entire foot. The other would be runners knee that I got at Mile 13 in a full marathon. I kept running until Mile 17 and then I very slowly walked to the finish line… which took FOREVER!
Potential running goal for (2014!): Another full marathon and 2 half marathons.
Next race: Hot Buttered Run!
Great post…I may steal the idea (and link back, of course!) I will just admit to one quirky habit here…when running, every time I approach a hill, I can’t help but say “There’s gold in them there hills!” to myself. I don’t even know why! I am so goofy!
Love this! I’m a wuss too…my roommate brought a treadmill when she moved in and there’s just something so easy about hopping on rather than going outside…I like outside runs more when I’m doing them but I feel like I need more motivation to get them done
I am really focused when I run and I enjoy running alone, rather then with anyone else, I feel like its the only real “me” time I get these days! 🙂
I feel like if I were more comfortable running I would enjoy running with others more — but most days I also just enjoy running as my “me” time.
You rock with running! But I also do understand, I felt a little intimidated by my fellow running friends getting back to running after my heart stuff.
