Another Award!

My best blog friend Heather nominated me for the Liebster Award.  She is just the sweetest person on the planet.  She nominated me for a very specific reason--- she thinks I should run a marathon.  She will be running one in October and I can't wait to support her through her journey!  Thank you so much Heather!!



From her blog:
"If you haven’t heard of this award, it’s an award for bloggers given by bloggers. When you are nominated for the award, you answer a set of questions asked by the blogger who nominated you and then nominate 11 other bloggers, and give those bloggers a set of questions to answer."

Heather's Questions for Me:
{1} What state do you live in?  I live in the Golden State.  Otherwise known as California.



{2} You won a free entry for ANY marathon in the world, which would you choose? I would absolutely choose one in another country.  Which one?  I don't know.  There are so many, many great ones!

Not my picture, obviously.


{3} Will you run a marathon? I am terrified to run a marathon, but so many people have been trying to convince me to lately that it's not totally off my radar.




{4} What does training look like for you, when you are in training for a race? Since running is my therapy, it is really hard for me to go a day without running.  I run 6 days a week with one day off, usually Fridays.  When I am training for a race, I try to incorporate more hills and I also run outside a whole lot more.




{5} What is your favorite course to run? Just in general?  I love running around my dad's house because I get to run through the big trees.  And it's mostly downhill...




{6} How many hours of sleep do you get? I try to get at least 8.  Some nights I get more, some nights I get less.  


{7} What is your favorite spring/summer activity? Hands down going to the river.  And for the past few years, I have been blessed enough to travel to the San Juan Islands in Washington.  Nothing beats that.


I NEED THIS ISLAND NOW!


{8} What is something on your bucket list? Traveling the world.  I have so many places I want to visit.  Thailand and Greece are currently at the top.


{9} What is your favorite food? Sushi.  Pho.  Cheese.




{10}What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Mint Chip, but it has to be green.


{11} What is your favorite quote? Oh NO!  Don't make me choose!  Currently I am loving, "Good things will happen to you if you stop thinking they won't."  



I am a terrible rule follower and am not going to nominate anyone.  I don't want to play favorites.  So I encourage everyone who reads my blog to answer any or all of my questions.  I love each and everyone of you, so thank you for following me!!!

  3. I love that you said "but it has to be green." I actually really like getting mint choc chip that is white, it always seems so much more sophisticated!

  4. I don't like to play favorites either so I added the twist :) It's hard when you have so many blogs that you love and only can pick 11!

    Here are my answers :)

    1. What was your favorite vacation ever? I honestly think it was our honeymoon. I had so much fun in Vegas and there was always something to do!

    2. What is on the walls in the room you are in? I'm in the spare bedroom so there is a mixture - my picture board, wedding photos, running bibs, quotes, and the first roses that Gunshow gave me. I dried them and put them in a frame :)

    3. What was your favorite subject in school? I loved all of them. That is why I wanted to become an elementary teacher.

    4. How old were you when you really got into fitness? I was in high school. I always loved gym. I would run in the summers but it wasn't until I was 24 that I really stuck to running.

    5. How often do you strength train? Not enough!

    6. If you became a multi-millionaire over night, what would you buy? A house for my sister, father, mother, my mother in law, my brother in law, my best friend, and Gunshow and I. Nothing too fancy - a house to build a life together. And with the money I had left over, STUDENT LOANS :)

    7. If you could eat lunch with someone famous, who would it be? BEYONCE

    8. At which store would you max out your credit card? Hmmmm, I don't really shop much but I am thinking like a TJ Maxx {or something equivalent}. Good prices and a variety of outfits and running clothes!

    9. What is your dream race? I have SO many on my bucket list! I don't even know where to start!

    10. Where is the furthest place you have ever travelled? San Diego, California!

    11. What is your favorite time of day? Morning, even though I am not a "morning person." When I first wake up, no one is allowed to talk to me until I have my breakfast. I'm not very nice.

    I loved answering your questions!
