  1. I haven’t ever run on a track really. Not since I was forced to do athletics during school (as we all know running came late to this runner chick) and for sports carnivals every year.
    I do fondly remember the ice creams my friends and I would eat every year while we watched the boy’s races though…and I was usually in charge of keeping the cheer squad going. I think if I could go back in time as the girl I am now (minus a few wrinkles 🙂 ) I would make more of an effort to start running earlier now that I know how much fun it is!
    And how many gorgeous runner friends 🙂 it can bring into your life. For now though I will stick to my roads and the occasional trail when I can make it to one on the weekends. Perhaps a goal for 2014 is for me to find a track near me and give it a try 🙂

    • tracks, roads, runners are connected thru it all! that said, if u were around to hand out some ice cream during track meets you wouldn’t be able to dodge the mob of hungry runners! hehe.
      oooh, i would be really pumped if u did find a track race to take part in 2014!

  2. I have a love/hate relationship with the track! I hate driving to it because I know it’s going to kick my butt, but I love driving home from my workout because I know how much faster those intervals I just ran are going to make me in my next race! I love that totally spent, I can barely move, feeling I have after a good workout.

    Trail running is my favorite, though!

    • hahaha…pre/post track feelings are TOTALLY normal. come to think it’s kinda like before every hard workout or race…it’s the nervous/excited thing before because you REALLY want that amazing feeling after to turn out as awesome as you hope. 🙂

  3. I never ran track growing up, but I get butterflies in my stomach when I step onto the track for a workout. It’s a mixture of a bit of nervousness, but also excitement, very similar to race day but in a smaller amount.

    I like roads and trails more than the track, but there’s nothing like the feeling of nailing your intervals and finishing a track workout strong!
