I am proud of the tenacity running has given me, which seeps into other areas of my life. When the tasks get piled on me at work and I start to feel overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and then take them one “mile” at a time.
My friends make fun of me when I walk around with my arm in the air, waiting for my Garmin to get a signal. 🙂
I have pretty strong legs – the only downside is I can’t wear the super cute tall boots – my calves are too big. Oh well, I love all of my cowboy boots!!!
I think personality wise, I pretty much approach everything with a “can-do” attitude. I don’t look at something and think – oh, I need a guy to help with that. I just buckle down and do it!!!
My friends make fun of me when I say I’m going to run for 3 or 5 or _ hours. Not sure why?!
hahaha…yea, i don’t think ‘normal’ people can wrap their head around actually CHOOSING to run, let alone for multi-hour long runs. 🙂 u’re just cool like that though, u know it!
Well, firstly I would like to say that you, Miss Cait Chock, were a huge part of my running journey changing my life! I can’t go a day without hitting the pavement now or I go crazy! I think I am proud of the way that out of all the things I have started over the years, running is something that I have kept on with, even on the rainy days, the days when I’m tired, or just lazy, I know that if I get out there the reward is greater than the effort expended. As for physicality? I love my strong shoulders and my feet that never quit! Running has seeped into my life. My boyfriend makes fun of me when I try to wear heels out of the house and then change at the last minute because I don’t want to risk twisting my ankle before my next run…
awww, this comment made my day!!! and the coolest thing has been WATCHING you grow and improve as a runner. your blog was one of the first i ever started reading…i think you were my first ‘follower’ and i reciprocated back on the ‘old’ blog. do let me know if i need to stop calling you chickpea by the way, if it bugs you. 😛 anyways, it’s been so AWESOME to become ur cyber-BFF…if only some of your cooking prowess would rub off on me. :/ sadly, i read and drool over ur creations but know my limits and stay out of the kitchen. 😉
You can totally keep calling me chickpea!!! I love that nickname. I am trying to get my boy to call me that but he just refuses – instead I get lizard (long story, which I will tell you when I come and visit you and bake for you!!).
I have been so appreciative of your support in both running and blogging over the years – can you believe it’s been nearly three years since this whole cyber-friendship began! I can’t wait until we get to meet in person one day 🙂
lizard?!?! okay, yes, i will be needing to hear THAT story! u tell him he better find a better nickname or he’ll have to deal with me. 😉 and i can’t believe it’s been 3 years!!!
