National Running Day was last week. I found this survey on one of the blogs I read and thought it would be fun to do.
Why do you run?
I run for a LOT of different reasons. I run to remember that there’s always room for improvement, to test my own limits, for fun, for fitness, to clear my mind, to solve problems, and so much more.

How do you plan to celebrate National Running Day?
well, since this day is already passed, let me just tell you that I literally RAN an errand. I ran the 3 miles to the pharmacy and then the 3 miles back home.

What big events do you have on the race calendar so far this year?
oh my…yea, let’s just talk about the half marathons and marathons. Marathon-wise, I’ve got the South Padre Island in November and the San Antonio RNR in December. Half marathon-wise, I have the the Night Moves trail half, Dragon's Den half, the Hill Country Halloween half, and the Decker Challenge half .

Before I leave for a run I must have:
for every regular training run, I have my hydration pack, my cellphone, my Garmin, my FitBit, my mini-body glide in case I need to reapply, a hat/visor, and my selfie stick. Oh and gels if longer than 8 miles.

Do you track your runs? If so what do you use?
yes, I track all my runs. I use my Garmin and my FitBit. Mostly the Garmin is what I go by for mileage unless, like the other day, it dies partway into my run, then I do my mileage off my FitBit. And then online I additionally log my runs into dailymile.com.

Who is your favorite running partner?
only occasionally. Right now she’s wrapping up with nursing school and certifications so she’s super busy.

don’t compare yourself to others. Run at your own ability.
