"Posse In Effect" - Beastie Boys

Mooshy, put his beer down long enough to slap me with these questions . . . running edition of "tag".



What are you most proud of accomplishing in 2010?


This.

Hands down.

A top four moment in. my. life.


Call me dramatic [you'd be the 4,444,444,444th person to do so] but it was a life changer.

Anyone can do a 50 mile run. I just thought doing it with horses would be cooler.

And.
it.
was.

Running goals for 2011?

a 3:10 marathon.

I want to BQ like a man.

It's a personal thing. [don't slap me with rude comments.......ummmmm, please].

Why should a woman get to qualify in 3:40 [for my age] and a man my age has to qualify in 3:10?

I think it's lame.

** So I'm going to BQ like a WO-man in 2011. **

My favorite race?

To date....... Tucson 2009. It was my first marathon in 9 years.

Second marathon over-all. Smiled. the. whole time. I knew I had it in me to BQ.
And I was freaking happy.

Yep, [once again] this was me in this race in 2009 [at mile 25.2]. All. smiles.


Favorite Holiday Guilty Pleasure?

I'm an over-thinker.
I don't think any holiday pleasure should be labeled "guilty".
It's Christmas.
Christmas never  ='s guilt in my book.
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas . . . my mom's caramel nuts with popcorn sprinkled throughout. ;)


Most embarrassing running moment?

Oh you mean other than being followed by a medic with a "5 barf buffer" at Top Of Utah, last September.

Nope, that's about it.

NOW.
who to tag?
who to tag?

SUAR - no doubt.  I mean I put her sticker on my most prized possession.
Caroline - look at that photo with her kids.  Adorable.
Pam - the girl just ROCKED Vegas!
Happy Freakin' Friday!!

termite - 3:16. AMAZING! I'm not close to it yet [3:10] but I'm hoping 2011 will look a 3:10 kind of happy. ;)

"I want to BQ like a man" I agree, that has to be one of my favorite quotes of yours!! You'll do it too! Great photo of you with the HUGE smile on your face!

KovasP said...

I am WO-man, hear me roar! ( or neigh maybe)

Big Daddy Diesel said...

In my books, a 50 miler is a life changing experience, I will also add a mary as well, and of course an Ironman is as well, all of them are ranked very high in my books

I have faith you can BQ under 3:10!!!

Hey, your 5x barf o rama, earned you a pukie, one of the most prestige awards out there, if not the most, for endurance atheltes!!!

Emz said...

BDD. Sooooooo very. Very. True. & it was from YOU. My favorite urban legend.

Awesome.

Aimee said...

Loved your answers! Those are all awesome pictures and memories!

3:10...if anyone can do it, YOU can do it! :)

I want to BQ like a man too! ☺☻☺

Laura said...

...I'd like to BQ like an 85 yr old wo-man.
Oh yeah....I am still too slow.
:)
Happy weekend!!

Tom said...

I would expect medics to follow someone who is smiling during the last mile of the marathon. I would assume they were delirious and didn't know where they were if I saw that.

Jill said...

Hey, I was there when that picture at mile 25 was shot...only a few miles behind.

3:10 marathon? Piece O Cake for Emz!!

Hey...I got a shirt in the mail today - yay me!! :) Will post on my blog next week - THANK YOU!!

Go get 'em in Tuscon!!!

Emz said...

Tom. Hilarious.

GREAT blog! How'd I not find you sooner? I have a feeling that you'll rock that time and then some.

Karen R said...

Love that photo of you - smiling at 25 miles. Hilarious. And that is SO not what I would be doing at mile 25 :)

Popcorn with those yummy nuts - sounds really good!

The Hungry Runner Girl said...

Anonymous said...

Wow I wish!!!!!!! I want to BQ this year too, but there's no way in HELL I could run that fast.. booo!

Angie said...

The 3:40 is for losers like me for whom that is a bit of a pipe dream. But. One of these years I will do it, I will meet you in Boston in the springtime and you will be allowed to judge me, but only in your head. :)

Emz said...

Angie. You. Rock. We will meet in Boston. We. Will.
And
Never
