1. Would you rather run a 5k or a marathon? I would rather run a 5K. I don't think I ever want to run a full marathon. It seems way too long and I don't think my body would tolerate the distance.
2. Would you rather run in the heat of summer or the icy winter? Icy winter! I can't stand the heat as you read during my Silverman race recap. I would much rather bundle up and keep warm then run the risk of severe dehydration from the heat.
3. Would you rather have new running shoes or a new running outfit? Running shoes! I love running shoes and now that I have discovered ones that I love, I would much rather receive those. My run outfits are not that exciting anyways but give me a pair of shoes and I'm a happy girl.
4. Would you rather run alone or in a group? I would rather run alone. I like running to my time for myself. It's a time when I can gather my thoughts and release my stress. I also like to zone out to my music. If I ran with a group I would feel bad if they had to stop and wait for me. I don't want that kind of pressure so I always run alone.
5. Would you rather run next to someone in a race who tries to talk to you constantly or someone who breathes heavy and grunts? I would rather run next to the heavy breather. I don't want to feel obligated to use more of my own energy by having to answer questions.
6. Would you rather run a race because of the convenience (location, price, travel) or the swag? Swag. I'm a sucker for great swag!
7. Would you rather run a race with a group of friends or by yourself? I like to do races with my friends. I don't run with them because we are not the same speed. But I like to travel with them to the race itself. We usually make a girl's weekend out of our races. It's always a blast to meet at the finish line and celebrate after all the hard work is done.
8. Would you rather run a PR but result in an injury or finish strong and missing a PR? Finish strong and miss the PR. A personal record can always come later. After suffering my knee injury for several months this season I wouldn't risk being injured again. Nothing is worse then being sidelined for months and wanting to run but you can't.
9. Would you rather eat a big meal the night before or a big meal after a race? I'll take the big meal after the race. My body performs best on a normal amount of food and then I refuel after all the hard work is done.
10. Would you rather be chased by a swarm of bees or a pack of dogs? Dogs. I have a huge fear of flying insects especially bees. I think just the swarm alone would cause me to go into shock and panic.
