So I was tagged by GBA_gf over at Neurosis of the Stay at Home Marathoner of 3 to write 21 random facts about me. Here I go....
1. I was born in Florida, lived there until I was 8, but I hate seafood.
2. I am trying to convince myself that the marathon has in fact not made me slower. But since it feels like my body just hasn't recovered yet whenever I run. I ran the Turkey Trot yesterday and I know there were lots of hills, but I didn't feel strong. I don't know, I think I am also kinda suffering from post marathon blues.
3. I hate change, but love it when the seasons do. I'm always ready for the next season. I am totally ready for some snow.
4. When I first wanted to teach I was all about high schoolers. Now I am loving the little ones the most. It's funny how God changes your heart.
5. I lost a whole pant size from training for the marathon. I am determined to not gain it back. I lost about 10 pounds right before I got married, then gained it all back plus some. I don't want to do this again! ( I type this as I eat deviled eggs for breakfast.....opps.)
6. I am one of those people who thinks about their future. Probably too much. But right now I am loving the idea of being one of those stay at home moms who runs a lot. And of course I'll need all the cute running outfits to go along. Ha!
7. The Turkey Trot I ran yesterday was at University of Richmond, where I got my teaching license. Made me think a lot about going back to school there. I really think I will one day.
8. My husband and I were in the same second grade class together.
9. I treat my cat like my first born child. Anyone who knows me in real life knows about my love for cats. I know I'm a dork, but really they're just so cute. Can't help it.
10. I love to travel. Whether it's to the Outer Banks (a place I've been to thousands of times) or a place that takes a whole day to get to (like our honeymoon in Martinique) I enjoy it. Currently planning our spring break trip!
11. I am extremely lucky to have a close church family. I have been going to the same church for 12 years and still love it.
12. I am not really into watching a lot of TV. But, every Tuesday I have to watch Glee. It's def. my favorite show. It might also be my favorite running music as well.
13. I teach gymnastics after school and love it. Sometimes I see the older girls doing things I used to be able to do but no longer can. I think to myself "I can't believe I used to be able to do that!" But then I think about the things I can do now that I def. couldn't do back then, like run 26.2 miles. Yeah, that's pretty cool too.
14. I am still really close to the same friends I had in middle school. It's not normal, but it works for us and I'm so thankful for their friendships.
15. I love decorating our house. It's def. my favorite part of home ownership.
16. I love all things crafty, art museums and modern architecture. Whenever we go somewhere that has a cool art museum or a famous building I make whoever I'm with go. My husband has come to expect this on all our trips now.
17. I am currently obsessed with pink running clothes.
18. Will Ferrel is probably my favorite actor.
19. I was a blonde for a short time in high school. It's funny to look back at those pictures, because I really like my dark brown hair now.
20. I love Coca-Cola. Always have, always will.
21. Although Glee is my favorite show on TV now, The Golden Girls will always be my all time favorite one. I know I know, I'm a dork, but I already said that.

I hear you with the running slower thing... at least for me, I think that running the marathon made my body get used to a certain pace and I have trouble breaking that pace, even if it's just for a mile or two. It's hard to tell your body, "hey, you're only running 3 miles today, you don't have to do 12 minute miles," when your body is thinking, "hey, you can't run that fast! don't we have like, 15 more miles to go?"
