My favorite granola bar is Flaxjax from a little cafe in Bristol, RI called The Beehive Cafe. But since that's not commercially available everywhere, I'll go with Luna Bars. They taste like Candy! I also like Balance Bars and Kind bars.<br /><br /><br />2. I'd have an at-home gym, a hot tub, and a massage room with a personal masseuse. <br /><br />3. SO many bucket list races. Berlin Marathon, Disneyland Half Marathon, Marathon du Medoc, Rome Marathon, the list goes on and on :)<br /><br />4. I've never been to a women's only gym, so don't know. I've really enjoyed the women's only races I've done.<br /><br />5. I hate bugs, snakes, afraid of sharks, all sorts of silliness.<br /><br />6. If someone walked into my house, they'd know a runner lives there from the parade of sneakers at the front door!Run, Karla, Run!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16593862392293193320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-13775308611191178032013-08-18T21:29:13.387-04:002013-08-18T21:29:13.387-04:00I love Quest bars - cookie dough and cinnamon roll...I love Quest bars - cookie dough and cinnamon roll. <br />Would love to try a woman's race and my bucket list is ridiculous.

Dublin Marathon, Pike's Peak Marathon<br />4. I used to go to a women's only gym, I prefer them to be honest with you. <br />I do not like women only races though. I would be pissed if there was men only races, which is how it used to be! All races should be for everybody.<br />5. I fear I will travel far for a race, and end up sleeping in!<br />6. You wouldn't know unless you walked into my closet, and saw all of my awards and/or running clothes and shoes.

When I can find them I love PureFit and Quest! <br /><br />As for a women's gym - I honestly wish I had one! I am only 4'11 with a baby face so I always feel like I am being judged in the weight room. If I see its crowded I just skip weights.

New York, Boston, and the Dopey Challenge.<br />4. I don't like women's only races that are too girly, but I like the special touches like shirts that fit, chocolate and champagne at the finish instead of beer. I've never been to a women's only gym, but I've been to a gym that had a special women's room that was nice because the strength machines were better sized. I can't use the machines at my current gym because they're all too big. Not in terms of weight, but I'm just really petite.<br />5. Honestly I can't really think of anything I fear.<br />6. The foam roller and stick lying around, and all the running shoes.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176267681280039739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-85714819850271537642013-08-16T15:25:55.216-04:002013-08-16T15:25:55.216-04:001) I'm not a big bar person but I guess my fav...1) I'm not a big bar person but I guess my favorite would be the protein bars by Designer Whey. 2) In my dream house I would have an indoor air conditioned track for running. And my own gym! 3) Disneyland Dumbo Double Dare, New York Marathon, Disney World Dopey Challenge 4)Women's only gyms and races don't bother me. For some women it's less intimidating to not have men around. For others, women are more critical of them. So there are pros and cons! 5)I have a fear of my house burning down. I also fear cockroaches and snakes. 6)You'd know a runner lives in my house because of all the running shoes laying around as well as running magazines, rollers, all the medals on my medal rack, and running clothes drying on the side of the bathtub and hung up around the house to dry after washing (because you know you can't put those running skirts in the dryer)!Mindy Bobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752837814235279145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-57014187716700897202013-08-16T14:15:29.104-04:002013-08-16T14:15:29.104-04:00I love KIND bars and the Carrot Cake Luna Bar.
Dre... I love KIND bars and the Carrot Cake Luna Bar.<br />Dream house: A workout room that has a rockin' treadmill WITH a tv built into it, a stereo system with surround sound, a boxing bag, a spin bike, a hot tub, and a full set of weights. <-- wow, I really AM dreaming.<br />My bucket list distances: I eventually want to do an ultra- 50 miler, and I MAY have the idea of a full ironman in my mind for the future.<br />I fear the swimming part of a triathlon. cori @olivetorunhttp://olivetorun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-36178749399095078372013-08-16T14:07:21.109-04:002013-08-16T14:07:21.109-04:00Ooo lots of fun questions!

I'm not sure if this counts as an athlete house question but I have always wanted a slide inside the house to get from one floor to the other. Or a loft area at the very top of the house for reading.<br />3.) Boston again, Eugene, Goofy Challenge, Maui, Big Sur and something International London, Paris, China. That's a long bucket list lol<br />4.) Not a fan of women's only races. I don't really get the point. If it is so women aren't embarrassed, I think a women's only race would make women criticize each other. Men there would make a distraction and provide greater competition.<br />5.) Squirrels. Especially while running. I am so afraid that I am going to startle them and instead of running up a tree they run up my leg. I always imagine their claws digging into my legs as they crawl up. (You are probably laughing at me at this point. It's ok, I know how ridiculous I sound)<br />6.) Multiple pairs of running shoes as you walk in the door. Make your way to the kitchen and magnets and race results on the fridge and make your way to the living room where garmins are charging.<br /><br />This weekend I am relaxing (kind of) for the first time since we got back from the honeymoon. Going to hang out with our new pup, clean and organize the house, catch up on the DVR and who knows what else. Really looking forward to staying in this weekend.Jessica M.http://mojamala2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-90369448851828161512013-08-16T13:27:31.860-04:002013-08-16T13:27:31.860-04:00Such a great cause.

If someone walked into my house, they'd know I was a runner by the sneakers piling up at the door, the spibelt hanging from the hook, the water bottles in the dishwasher, the endless piles of workout gear in the laundry baskets, and probably more that I'm so used to I don't even notice anymore... :)Laura @ Mommy run fasthttp://mommyrunfast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-73444845714645617832013-08-16T13:18:51.449-04:002013-08-16T13:18:51.449-04:00So sorry about your brother in law!

1. What is your favorite ...Here are my answers :).<br /><br />1. What is your favorite bar (protein bar, granola bar, etc.)? Clif bars, I like the white chocolate ones.<br /><br />2. If you could have a dream house made for you, <br />as an athlete what would a few of your 'features' be? A treadmill with a special very very cool temperature controlled room for it. Also a hot tub.<br /><br />3. What are a few of your "Bucket List" Races (any distance)? Marine Corps Marathon, Disney races, would love to do a race in the Caribbean, maybe Key West too.<br /><br />4. Thoughts on Women's only gyms? races? It's not really for me, but I think it's a good thing for ladies who are beginners or just don't want to work out around men in the gym.<br /><br />5. Something you fear? (rational or irrational)<br />This can be related to life in general, running, triathlons, whatever-- Oversleeping and missing a race. <br /><br />6. If someone were to walk in your house- how would they know a runner/triathlete/athlete lived there? Big box of various running shoes, lots of protein powders and shakers, lots of water bottles just lying around.

I always want to use the equipment at the gym, but anything other than cardio is always dominated by men, and I feel uncomfortable working out in that area.Amy @ Long Drive Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501796371395464758noreply@blogger.com
