Open Mic Friday: Marcy
Who doesn't love Marcy? And who doesn't want to know even more about her. Sure, we have learned quite a bit from her over the year from her blog - but today she shares a few things about her running. Thanks Marcy!
What keeps you running?
My kids. On the days I want to run far, far, far away from the house. I do :P I'm only partially kidding but it gives me my "me" time and I love how running forces me to be aware of nature and things that are going on around me.
What lessons did you learn as you recovered from your injury in 2007?
That I really need to invest in a thick cast iron pan to bash my head with when I get injured. It would be the only way I could stop from running LOL. Seriously, don't push too soon coming back from an injury. I probably could have cut my injury time in half if I had just rested instead of continually trying to run with it. The trick is trying to convince my head.
As a running mom, what's your secret for fitting it in?
It's a combo of getting up early/staying up late and having a husband that has been brainwashed into submission to help support :P
What is the weirdest thing you have seen or have happen while running?
I think I've seen just about everything but the one I most remember was a younger lady and older gentleman having lunchtime "relations" in their parked car. You don't know how bad I wanted to knock on the window and say "Can I have a picture for my blog?" :P
Who is your favorite runner?
Even though she may not be famous, my all time favorite runner is Lisa (Java Mom Keeps On Tri-ing). She has been a big factor in getting me started running and she's such an inspirational person. I love her "I'm not sure if I can do this, but you know what? I'm just going to do it anyway" attitude.
On the famous front? Dean Karanzas because with a body like that how could he NOT be a favorite? LOL
Yaa, I *heart* Marcy!
Great interview! Love the relations, and you wanting a pic for your blog :) Thanks for always thinking of the homies. Java is so inspirational.
