11 Things About Me:

Source

1. I'm not a morning person.  I keep trying, dammit, but I'm not really good to be around until after my first cup of coffee.
2. I have a slight addiction to mileage.  If there's a bigger distance out there, I'm on it.  Watch out, ultra's here I come!
3. I'm a total bookworm.  I can read about 3-4 books a week.  It's pretty ridiculous.  (Anyone have any good authors?  They don't write fast enough for me!)
4. My favorite day of the week is Thursday.  It screams possibilities because the weekend is just around the corner.
5. I could probably live off oatmeal.  I feel like an 80 year old writing that....but the topping possibilities are endless....I have at least one bowl a day!
6. I change into my pajamas as soon as I'm home for the day.  I hate actual clothes....and wish I could live in my fleece jammies all the time.
7. The hubster and I pretty much have our own made up language no one really understands....except 5 year olds.  That can't be good.
8. Nothing calms me down like a long run or ride.  I can escape the world and I usually come up with my best ideas while pounding pavement.  It's too bad I forget them when I'm done....
9.  I have Reynaud's disease pretty bad.  Somehow I think living in New York is a mistake, but I'm pretty stubborn :-P
10. My favorite candy is Reese's Pieces.  They take forever to eat and taste so amazing after a long ride.

11. I am pretty much dying for a puppy....namely a Siberian husky.  I asked Santa for one, but he brought me a picture of a dog.  Guess I need to be more specific next time, huh?

What Shelley asked:

1. What is your guilty pleasure? My soap opera, Young and the Restless.  I'm addicted.  I DVR it everyday, and am secretly in love with Nick Newman.  Crap.  I just outed myself on the internets.
   
2. Do you have a favorite tv show? LOVE Fringe, New Girl, and Up All Night.  Plus, bad reality TV.  I'll only watch it on the treadmill though...so at least I'm working my body while rotting my brain.   It evens out, right?
   
3. What is the most creative Halloween costume you have ever seen? I'm pretty much stuck on the cereal killer costume.  But it's probably because I'm obsessed with cereal :-P
   
4. If you were stuck on a dessert island and could only have one food what would it be? Peanut butter.  Full of good fats and calories, which I would need to keep my strength up.  plus, its yummy. 
5. Did you make New Years Resolutions? Yup.  I like the idea of a clean slate.
   
6. What is the best vacation you took in the past year? Lake Placid....went up there for training camp, then for the hubsters IM.  It's probably the best place on earth. Gorgeous.
   
7. What is your dream vacation to take over the next few years? Would love to go to Hawaii.  But only if I Kona qualify....so right now, that's a 30 year plan. :-P
   
8. Do you have a childhood nickname?  Why do you hate me?  Just kidding...it was chipmunk cheeks.  Use it and you die.
   
9. If you could meet one celebrity or famous person, who would it be and why? Chrissie Wellington, Ironman champ. She's so inspiring....fast as $hit, but always having fun.  And that's awesome.
   
10. What is one thing you never imagined yourself doing but you did it?! Ironman.  Still kinda in disbelief that I did that...TWICE!
    
11. Tell me your 11 (or more!) favorite qualities about yourself   determined, intelligent, funny, stubborn (yes, I think that's good), thoughtful, diligent, dependable, creative, thrifty, perserverant and silly.  Too bad my head won't fit through the door anymore
