Ask away! I'll try to answer a few questions this morning but won't get to the bulk of them until naptime (1 pm PST). But I will get to them!

This has changed over the past several years. Pre DS, marathons were my thing. I've done 9 with Boston being my ultimate goal. I qualified and ran it and had an amazing experience (probably my favorite race bc it meant so much just being there and I may never qualify again). Lately I've been sticking to half marathons and below (10 miles and less during pregnancy). I ran until 37 weeks w DS and hope to continue this time around too. I have a goal to run a race/month this year (except for August) even though my July race will be SLOW! So in general, running keeps me sane and I love the feeling it gives me.

Give me all the sweets. I can't stay away from candy. I'm like a 5 year old.

Are you a big Leo fan? Should I save that for your day? Haha

Do you eat gu!

Absolutely. I've cut down a lot on mileage (don't have time anymore) and do more strength work to stay injury free. I want to be out there running when I'm 80!

I eat with DS so we usually split a slice of zucchini bread we made then I'll have fruit and yogurt or cereal. My sweet tooth already starts with breakfast!

Gummy candy. Love Swedish fish, gummy bears, and twizzlers but I really don't say no to much.

Honestly don't care! Liked Leo in Titanic which was what 20 years ago but haven't followed his stuff too much since then. Don't have a strong opinion one way or another.

Ahh I don't know! I think he will eventually get married maybe when he's 50 or something.

I like being active in general so group workout classes, hiking, biking, and also reading. I don't really have many inside hobbies. So if I'm inside doing nothing, I'm generally watching tv or reading.

Have you ever won an award at a race?

Yes! In smaller races, I've placed in my age group so I got a ribbon or medal of some sort. In Sept, I got 3rd overall in a 10k which included a cash prize! It was in the form of a gift certificate of $20, but I was so excited! Professional runners have to start making money somewhere :-)

I don't love these 2 now, but when made well, asparagus and brussel sprouts are delicious! Thought they were so gross as a kid. Also, I didn't like cheese or chocolate as a kid. What was I smoking?

I can't wait until you get sponsored and tell the story of such humble beginnings!

What did you and your SO do on your last date night?

Hmm what's a date? We recently moved and don't have a babysitter yet ( on the to-do list) but when my in-laws visited last month, H and I went away for the weekend to the water. It was so relaxing! We basically ate, got a massage, and slept.
