Running Backwards in High Heels

A Random 15 Things…

Hi… Remember me? Yeah, I used to blog around here, but I have been a terrible blogger lately. I won’t bore you with my excuses and reasons, but I’m here and I’m not going to be a Debbie Downer! My gorgeous Nuun HTC teammate Hyla nominated me for a Liebster Award and it involves 15 random questions…So, without further ado…

What is my current health related goal?

Well, I’ve been training for my very first full marathon for the past few weeks… I know. I didn’t even post it yet. Anyway, so it’s the Mercedes Full in February. I’m jazzed and nervous at the same time. My goal is to get all of my runs in and attempt two days of cross training a week.

What is my biggest irrational fear?
I’m not sure if it’s irrational or not, but failure or not being good enough is my biggest fear. It’s almost crippling at times.

Do I enjoy wrapping presents?
I LOVE wrapping presents!! I love picking out the perfect gift for someone and then picking out the paper, or bag and making the bow… Seriously. It’s just so fun!!

What is my favorite cross training activity?
I love when things suck in groups… I really enjoy Pure Barre, but rarely get to take it and I’ve been getting into yoga lately. It’s been therapeutic.

If you came to visit me, what would we do?
I’m not sure? I live in a small town, so there’s not a ton to do here… I hope you enjoy hanging with The Reds and drinking wine on my couch.

I have two weeks off work and two round-trip plane tickets to ANYWHERE. Where would you go and who would you take with you?

Fiji? Bora Bora? Greece? Somewhere warm and sunny, please. I’m probably supposed to take Hubs on a fun trip like that… I guess he puts up with me and should be rewarded.

What is the most embarrassing thing that you have had happen to you during a run or a race?

I fell not once, but twice in the same race. SO embarrassing.. the second time, I rolled down a hill and a girl actually turned around and ran back to me and said “Oh my gosh! Are you okay? I heard you fall!” Eek. Sometimes, it just randomly plays in my head.

The three best days of my life? Or at least the three that pop into my mind?
The 3 most joyous days of my life are the day I got married, and the day my two daughters were born. Hands down.

Okay, so I have to eat a fast food meal. What restaurant would I choose and what do I order?
Chick-fil-A… hands down. Gimme some waffle fries!

Have you ever met a celebrity?
Yes… I’ve met the entire band of Rascal Flatts! Super awesome. Oh, I’ve also met Nick Saban and had an awkward conversation with him… because I’m awkward, not him.

Share a picture of myself in non-workout clothes.

Pin It This is what I wore to work on Monday… Loving this plaid skirt!

If I could choose to have a “do-over” and switch careers, what would I choose and why?
Maybe a lawyer? I like to think I’m an excellent negotiator. And can argue with a brick wall.

If I won an Olympic gold medal, how do I think I’d react?
I’d probably cry like a baby!! Seriously… what an accomplishment!

What do I want for Christmas?
I want a new pair of Frye boots,a hot pink quilted vest, and my Swarovski Christmas ornament. Those are my three REALLY want items. I wouldn’t turn down new lulu or new running shoes or clothes of any kind.

What skill do I lack?
I can’t sing. I also am not very good at saying things tactfully.. they just come out blunt and offensive.

Now… I’m going to nominate some of my Internet turned In Real Life friends:

Molly @ Stilettos and Diapers

Tanya @ All in Stride

Heather @ A Life Well Loved
