And the award goes to.....

Good morning sunshines!

Last week, Britney and Rachel both nominated me for a Liebster Award. The Leibster Award is a blogger award given to new bloggers. It's a fun way to get to discover new blogs.

The rules:

1.) you must link back to the person who nominated you
2.) you must answer the 10 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee
3.) you must pick 10 bloggers to be nominated for the award (with a small following)
4.) you must create 10 questions for your nominees
5.) you must notify your nominees


Britney's questions:

1.) what is your most-loved fitness gadget? Garmin Forerunner 210

2.) what is your favorite store/brand for fitness clothes? I don't have any one favorite. I am a bargain shopper, so I have a tendency to buy clothes that are on sale or clearance.

3.) who is your biggest support system? My husband

4.) how do you relax after a race? I like to take a hot Epsom salt bath, put on my compression socks and elevate my feet. The next day, I do yoga and foam roll.

5.) what is your favorite post-workout snack? Lately, it had been beef jerky

6.) what was your first race? The 2011 OSU Scrub Run 10k

7.) what is your favorite distance to run? I like the half marathon the best. It's long enough to be challenging, but not too long

8.) what goal are you currently working on? Recovering from an Achilles injury and returning to running, injury free. I would also like to complete  

half marathons in New Mexico and Colorado, maybe this fall.

9.) when did you start considering yourself a runner? I don't really remember exactly when I thought of myself as a "real runner" probably after I completed my first half marathon

10.) what are you most looking forward to this year? Returning to running, injury free

Rachel's questions:

1. What is your sport or fitness activity of choice? RUNNING!

2. Wine, beer, or liquor? WINE

3. Where are you from, and what do you love about your city? Perry, Oklahoma but currently live near Tulsa, Oklahoma. I love all the running trails in Tulsa!

4. Why did you start blogging? Initially, I started blogging to keep up with my family then it morphed into a fitness blog after people started asking me about my story.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? I would love to live at Lake Tenkiller in northeastern Okahoma. I currently spend every summer weekend there and ultimately plan to retire there.

6. Do you have a sweet or salty tooth? Both, actually. I like sweet in the morning and salty in the afternoon/evening.

7. How many siblings do you have? 2, 1 brother and 1 sister

8. If you could meet any famous person, past or present, who would it be and why? Steve Prefontaine, because he fascinates me. I think he had an uncanny, natural running ability and I would love to pick his brain.

9. What’s your favorite song? Currently, "Play it Again" by Luke Bryan
