My Questions
1. What is your favorite thing about running? The stress relief it provides! My job is very stressful and I like to escape in my runs and have some quiet me time. I also like the sense of accomplishment after a long run, a new PR or PB, or just getting out and feeling good about sweating!

 2. What FRIENDS character are you more like? (Fe/male) Even though he is a guy, probably Ross, I am a big science nerd (engineer) so I am probably most like him because  I do love my job and what I do.

 3. If money wasn't an option, what country/island/place would you explore for a week? (ONLY ONE!) Australia/New Zealand - always wanted to go there but flights are crazy pricey!

 4. Bodybuilding - yay or nay? nay for me

 5. What do you LOVE about your body? (Only sunny answers!) My legs- calves especially... I have GREAT calf muscles... must be all the running! :)

 6. Tell me your favorite season and give two reasons why it is your favorite season. Fall: football season and its cooling off from the hot, hot summers we get here in Texas

7. Do you believe in love at first sight? no, lust yes, but not true love - I think you have to get to know the person first

8. If you could have an exotic animal as pet, which would you choose? a giraffe, I have always loved them- they are so peaceful and beautiful... when the hubs went hunting in Africa it was the only animal I told him was off limits

9. Have you read Harry Potter? no, but the hubs did get me to watch the movies with him

10. What is your favorite cereal? Fiber One Chocolate - 80 cals a serving and it hits your chocolate fix!
