Since I'm done with exams, my life feels like a 24hr weekend. It's pretty great:
- I had time to go to the gym twice yesterday.
- I went to bed at 5am
- I woke up at half past noon, and didn't have to be anywhere.
:)

I've been tagged by Stacie at Impossible is Nothing, and I'm really, really excited because I've never been tagged before! 


1. What was your toughest race?
I would say it was my first ever race, the Running Factory's Spring Thaw in 2008. It was raining and I didn't know what to wear or what to eat. It was cold, very early and my friends were all drunk! I dragged them out after they'd slept about 2 hours and we got on the bus for an hour-long journey to the start. I was very very nervous, and started closer to the front than I should have (my friend is a college track runner - finished in 20 mins!). I was okay with my time since it was an automatic PR, but I felt sick and swore I would never do it again (and believed it). However, it's a race I've done twice in a row, and I know I'll do it again in 2011 - where I'll be in a different age group, since I'm 20 now! :)

2. What are your goals for 2011?
To do lots of races, and NOT get injured.
Spring Thaw, March
London HM, May
Trot to the Beach, June
I also want to add a 7th country to my list of places I've run - I'm looking to go on an internship in either Brazil or Uganda :) 
That's about it so far for next year :)

3. If you could live anywhere where would it be?
I would live in the Mediterranean! I went camping in Cyprus, and we went hiking in the mountains for 3 days. We camped on the beach, in NOVEMBER, and the weather was perfect. The sea is blue, the stars are clear..... I would love to live in Cyprus.

4. What is my guilty pleasure tv show? 
Hahahaha.... well, at the moment I'm trying to watch all of Smallville - I'm at season 3! I know the plot is ridiculous, the acting is lame and the stunts are bad, but it's like crack... can't stop. This is the reason I went to bed at 5am actually!
I also like Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, House, How I Met Your Mother.....

5. How do I keep my sense of balance? 
 Even though I'm in school to become a social worker, I find I love spending time alone. Running, reading, watching TV & knitting... just being alone helps me feel balanced and relaxed.
Working up a good sweat makes me feel that I've done something worthwhile with my day - which is why I love running/going to the gym early in the morning - I've already done more in a day before most people wake up :)

I'm not sure who actually reads my blog - I don't get many comments - so I won't tag anyone :(
But feel free to answer the questions if you're bored :D

  2. Great answers. I'm glad I tagged you. I'd love for someone to send me to the Mediterranean so I could decide if I wanted to live there or not :)

    I can't believe I forgot to add Smallville & Grey's Anatomy to my list. We just watched the newest episode so far in the final season of Smallville. Now we have to wait until the end of January for answers.
