S.W.A.T

Maureen got to go first on the 5 questions. Why? Because I emailed her first, that simple. This is all very random mind you.  But here are her answers to the 5 questions:

What is your proudest running moment so far?

I have completed 4 marathons and am attempting my 5th in a month, run numerous half marathons and run lots of local 5 and 10k races. But I would say that my proudest moment in running is setting a good example to my 4 year old niece, Megan. She has seen me run and knows that I run. She even had to buy sneakers that looked like Aunt Mo’s running shoes as well as running outfits like mine. I went to visit her in VA this past June and found a race that we could run. I signed her up, so that she would receive a number, too. I ran the 5k and my brother waited with her near the end and she ran to the finish line with me. She talks about the race quite a bit and calls me when she runs on the family walks. So, showing my niece how fun running can be and that it is good for your health makes me smile.

What scares/freaks you out the most about the Ragnar race?

Nothing really scares me. I like challenges and new adventures. The one thing that I worry about is running at night on little sleep.

What do you do when you need a pick up while running? Music? Mantra?

On my long runs, I listen to my Satellite radio and keep cheering for myself. I also think about what I accomplished and it gets me through.

What is one food you absolutely HATE?

Brussel sprouts

Describe one of your silliest moments:

I have tons of silly moments. I love to laugh and have fun. So, I hang out with people that I laugh a lot with. One moment that just happened last night, involved shopping for an 80’s outfit for an upcoming 80’s party. I was with my friend, Lauren, and we were trying on all kinds of clothes laughing our butts off. We were discussing 80’s clothes, styles and just being goofy. We laughed the entire time we were in the store. It is definitely more fun shopping for silly outfits with a good friend!

So that’s a little bit about Maureen. Feel free to comment and all that.

One done, 11 to go (plus of COURSE Joy and any volunteers we want to quiz!)

Up next… Jeffiner!
