ABCs of Me (I caved)

 No Run today, so you get a random post from me.

After yesterday's fiasco of a run, I felt really good afterwards. Probably just from ending up running few mile. I got to make sure to keep my pace tomorrow at marathon pace and not a strength run pace like I did last week. Trying to conserve a little bit of energy for the Rock and Roll half on Sunday. I'm not going to alter my week's training much (calls for 10 Saturday, and 8 Sunday, so I'll fix it to 8 Saturday and 13 Sunday).  Probably talk more about it later, but I plan on hanging out with the 1:30 pace group for about half the race and then decide if I want to go for broke for the other half or just chill.

Speaking of Sunday, my building posted this sign in our elevator yesterday:

Umm, so who wants to let me shower at their place after the race? I guess I'll hit up the showers by the beach, better pack my herbal essence.

 Last week Anne @ Anne Really Blogs did me the favor or passed me the virus of tagging me to do the ABCs of me.. I feel slightly dirty doing this (TWSS!), but here goes:

A. Attached or Single?  Married since 2008 to Emma! (aka the boss!)

B. Best Friend? My wife is my best friend (Sorry Fabio , you don't text me enough). Now if you want a less obvious answer, you can put your name in runner up. You can buy my friendship with frozen custard and bad jokes.

C. Cake or pie?  I LOVE CAKE! Carrot Cake, Ice cream cake! cake cake.



D. Day of choice? Saturday! Day of the week we actually attempt to do social things! Although I love Sundays for the long run.

E. Essential Item? Love my timex ironman stopwatch. I stopped using my nicer watch at work and just wear it all the time. Great to have as a backup for runs too.

F. Favorite color? Purple!

G. Gummy bears or worms? Worms!

O. Oranges or Apples? Oranges! I like apples, but i get a slight itchy reaction in my mouth to non organic ones, which is a bummer

P. Phobias? Currently.. that anytime my shin hurts, I have a stress fracture, will not be able to run and gain like 30lbs

Q. Quotes? This changes too frequently to pick one.. We'll pick:

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

R. Reasons to smile? I still have the ability to, so I will.
