Never Have I Ever…Running Edition

So I know that this a popular game to play but I’ve seen other bloggers do this with running so I figured I would give it a try! I think it’s pretty interesting how common some of these things are with runners. Bids of a feather truly flock together!

…Been Lost While Running

I don’t know if it’s because I have a good sense of direction (at least I think I do) or because I run in neighborhoods and not trails but I have never been lost while running. I tend to be hyper aware of people and things so that may be it. Or because city streets tends to all have a similar layout!

…Ran Away From A Dog

Luckily, I’ve only had tiny dogs chase me and of course I stop so they don’t continue to run after me. There aren’t very many big dogs in our neighborhood so I’ve never had to fear for my safety.

…Lost A Toenail

I am the blister QUEEN. I’ve tried all kinds of socks and still can’t figure it out but I’ve never lost a toe nail. I’m not squeamish when it comes to my blisters but I think losing a toenail would make me hurl.

…Started A Run Before 4AM

I vowed that I would NEVER do this. I need my sleep but I do cut it short some nights. The earliest I’ve ever had to wake up to run was 4AM but I’m not getting up any earlier. With my new job, this isn’t an issue though!

…Ran Circles To Meet My Goal

If you don’t do this, are you even a runner? Of course I’ve done this! I have run past my house and in the parking lot of some parks just to end on a “good” number.

…Ran An Ultra

I have not run an ultra marathon but it’s definitely something I want to achieve. Late last year I told myself that my goal for 2018 was either to run the Chicago Marathon or run an ultra marathon. I was accepted to the Chicago Marathon so the ultra will have to wait until next year!

So that’s a bit about me and my running journey!
