10 Secrets

This challenge has been floating around everywhere I look lately, so I thought I would jump on board and share some potentially interesting facts about me.

The first challenge is to list 10 secrets.  Honestly I am not sure if I can come up with 10 secrets that are truely secret.  I am awful at keeping secrets! So, the following are my mostly secret, secrets.

1. My dad and I email because we both hate talking on the phone.  Sometimes, ok most of the time, I make my fiance call to order pizza or chinese because I hate talking on the phone so much.

2. While I like running with a buddy, they have to be ok with silence(or they can bring their Ipod).  I can only talk when running for about half a mile and then I tend to zone out and get lost in my thoughts.  Running is really when I think through a lot of things. 

3. Having kids isn't even on my radar.  I keep hearing that I will change my mind, but we will see.  So far babies and I don't mix.

4. I seriously wish I had studied abroad in college.  It seemed so expensive but it would have been THE COOLEST THING. So now I wait until we can take a trip there.  Top places to see- Prague, Istanbul, Budapest, Rome, All of Scotland, and Southern France.

5. I want a German Shepherd puppy SO MUCH, but wont get one until we have a house with a yard for him/her to run in.  I think it is cruel to have a dog couped up in an apartment all the time.

6. I have a love/hate relationship with running that is about 80 percent hate.  I like how I feel after and I like beating my previous distance or pace, but usually I dislike the actual run.

7. Growing up I was a tomboy.  Except for when my mom and I would have tea parties and make mini "cakes" out of ritz crackers and frosting. Classy.

8. I currently have an obsession with Orange is the New Black and Weeds. 

9. Darrin and I were so nervous around each other the first week we met that I had a constant blush and he barely spoke.

10. I like cats. And Star Wars. And naming cats after movie characters.

Yoga Challenge

I made it through March without missing a single yoga session!  Now for a real challenge.  April's challenge will be going to yoga twice a week.  I noticed that yoga really helped curb the soreness in my calves and achilles tendons.  Now I can also, at least sometimes, touch the floor with more than the tips of my fingers!  It's the little things.  Hopefully yoga can help me up my mileage on the track and allow me to kick the Fargo 10k's behind in May.

PS- my favorite day of Yoga so far- the day we did half hand stands, even when I thought I would fall on my face :)
