Survey says

I was tagged by my girl K, so here we go.

1) What is my current health-related goal?
I was just thinking about this the other night. In 2013, I ran 388 miles (just shy of my goal of 400.) Last year, I made it to my goal of 500 miles. 500 miles was a pretty good challenge. I felt like there were times when I ran (especially towards the end) because I had to run, to meet the goal, and that sort of defeats the purpose of running for me. I don’t like doing something because I have to do it, you know? Anyway, I am thinking maybe I’ll just try to exceed 500 miles (which could mean 550 or 501) and try to sign up for more races. NOT half-marathons or marathons, but, like, 10Ks and stuff. I also want to do yoga more than just on Sundays at my studio.

2) What is my biggest irrational fear?
K said clowns and while clowns are pretty much the reason I am not watching this season’s American Horror Story, I am not actually very fearful of them. I think they’re creepy as fuck, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t have nightmares about clowns. I do have nightmares about intruders breaking into my house, but that’s not super irrational, is it?

3) Do I enjoy wrapping presents?
I do! I waited to wrap everything this year until Christmas Eve and I’m thinking next year I’ll ration the wrapping out a little more so I can get several days’ worth of wrapping fun.

4) What is my favorite cross-training activity?
I’m terrible at cross-training, so I guess I’d have to say yoga (there are pushups!)

5) If you came to visit me, what would we do?
I would take you to Napa for wine/champagne tasting and lunch. If you’re here for a few days, I’d take you to my favorite brunch place and then a beer tasting.

6) I have two weeks off work and two round trip plane tickets to anywhere. Where would I go and who would I take?
I’d go to Israel and I’d bring Chris and LG (I guess we’d have to buy her ticket on our own in this scenario.)

7) What’s the most embarrassing thing to happen to me during a run or a race?
I don’t think too many embarrassing things have happened on a run…Just the usual biffing it on the ground and hoping no one saw.

8) Three best days of my life? Or at least the top three that come to mind.
The day Chris proposed, the day LG was born, and the day I got my own washer and dryer.

9) Okay, so I HAVE to eat a fast food meal. Which restaurant would I choose and what do I order?
In ‘n Out. If I’m getting really wild, I’ll get the Double Double animal style, fries, and a vanilla/strawberry shake.

10) Have I ever met a celebrity?
I’ve met the President and I’ve met Arnold Schwarzenegger, but that’s it. I typically don’t count political people as celebrities (although I don’t count Arnold as a political person, so…)

11) Share a pic of myself in non-workout clothes.

Look! It’s the whole family! (Christmas 2014)

12) If I could choose to have a “do over” and switch careers, what would I choose and why?
I can’t really think of anything I would like to do that I haven’t done in some capacity or am not going to do someday. I’ve always thought it would be awesome to work in the White House (and I’m currently watching The West Wing from the beginning, so my C.J. Cregg obsession is high), but I have basically done that (on a much, MUCH smaller scale, obviously.) I also want to work in show business. I’m not quite sure how/when that’ll happen, but I’m putting it out there.

13) If I won an Olympic Gold Medal, how do I think I would react?
I would probably act all verklempt and then I’d grab a mic and make a big speech and I’d probably conjure up some tears during the National Anthem.

14) What do I want for Christmas?
I wanted a Clarisonic and I got one. I wanted gold earrings and I got them. I also got a whole Teavana set-up, which has been AWESOME. As far as non-gifts, I wanted a nice meal with my family (check and check.)

15) What skill do I lack?
None. (Is being humble a skill?)

And now I tag Caitlin, DaisyJD, and Hillary2Ls.

  1. You ran 500 miles in 2014! 500! Miles! !!! Amazing.

    Also you have SUCH a beautiful family. Except someone exchanged LG for a grown up. (A beautiful grown up, but STILL.)

  2. Hillary says:

    Fun!

    (Also? You ran 500 MILES?! Dude. You rock.)

    I still haven’t done this, so you are kicking my ass with your goals in more ways than one.
