pictures and an interview!

the pictures from KP came out yesterday… there weren’t too many of me but i am really excited to have a pic of chris and i together!




i also get to participate in the interview game… jen interviewed me so here you go! if you want to play too the rules are at the end.

1. How many towns/cities/states have you lived in in your life?
i have only lived in california, and only 3 cities! i lived in the same city my whole life until i went to college, then i moved to the bay area after college and have been in the same city since :)

2. What was your favorite moment in your wedding?
i really loved the entire day, i had so much fun. but one of my favorite memories is waiting to walk down the aisle… i was soooooo excited! i just wanted to run down the aisle to see chris, i couldn’t wait.

3. What is your pie-in-the-sky lifetime running/athletic goal? 100 mile ultramarathon? Olympic trails? Race in all 50 states? Don’t hold back!
right now my main goal is to qualify and run the boston marathon… but i reallllllly want to do an ultra marathon sometime in my life and would love to do the 50 states if money wasn’t a factor :)

4. What is your biggest insecurity about yourself?
i am usually a pretty secure person but when people around me i care for are sad or upset i get really insecure about everything if i can’t make it better. i also have a couple of body parts i can think of that top the insecurity list.

5. What do you eat for breakfast on a regular work day?
i eat cereal every morning, usually kashi go lean crunch or joe’s o’s… then i have a second breakfast when i get to work, either yogurt or oatmeal.

here are the rules if you want to play along…

1. leave me a comment saying, “interview me.”
2. i will respond by emailing you five questions. (i get to pick the questions).
3. you will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. you will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. when others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

i got another easy 6 miles in last night with chris. nothing too exciting, my legs are still feeling a little slow and heavy but it felt good to run :)

6.0 miles/55:18/9:13 avg pace

  6. Marathon Maritza February 5, 2009 at 11:37 am #

    Whoa! Look at your hot runner’s legs in that last solo pic! I wish I wasn’t 5’3″ :( LOL

    Great interview! I especially liked the wedding answer because it made me think that, even though you didn’t know it then, you’ve always been a runner at heart….you wanted to run down the aisle! :)

    I just got interviewed by Jen also, but wouldn’t mind doing it again!! Hahahaha!

  7. Sarah February 5, 2009 at 11:41 am #

    You look so fantastic in the pictures! I’m super impressed :) Also – I love your wedding story. Sweet.

  8. Melanie February 5, 2009 at 11:42 am #

    Amazing pics, and great interview! I’d love to do more traveling for races too :)

  9. Jamie February 5, 2009 at 11:46 am #

    Those are good race pics!! I aspire to have a good race pic one day :) And what a fun interview idea.

  10. tfh February 5, 2009 at 11:49 am #

    Great pictures! I agree that your runners’ legs look awesome. Chris looks great, too! I also always feel insecure (and somehow responsible) if I can’t make everything better for the people I love.

  11. RunningLaur February 5, 2009 at 12:02 pm #

    Everybody else has beat me to it, but your pictures are fantastic, especially how strong your legs are!

  12. Marlene February 5, 2009 at 12:22 pm #

    Awesome pics and interview, Aron!

  13. J February 5, 2009 at 12:24 pm #

  14. Denise February 5, 2009 at 12:33 pm #

  16. SJ Goody February 5, 2009 at 12:53 pm #

    Oh fun pics!!! And you’ll totally qualify for Boston!!

  17. Janice {Run Far} February 5, 2009 at 1:10 pm #

    I wish my hubby would enjoy running enough to run a race with me and then maybe we could have pic done at the same time too. Nice legs.

  18. Susan February 5, 2009 at 1:11 pm #

    Great pictures! You totally look like a runner…and you look like you’re “in the zone”! Loved your interview…everyone should be so excited on their wedding day that they want to run down the aisle. (And not back up the aisle, Runaway Bride style!). Thanks for the tips on the gu…I’m going to shopping to get a couple samples to see what works best.

  19. Heather February 5, 2009 at 1:23 pm #

    The pic of you and Chris running together turned out great!

  20. Roisin February 5, 2009 at 1:29 pm #

    Awwwwww…what a cool couple! I need a dude to run with!

  21. Shannon February 5, 2009 at 1:40 pm #

    When I was waiting to go down the isle, I remember biting my bridesmaids heads off because they weren’t being quiet and doing what I said! Wow, what a bitch I was……when the doors opened all that changed when I saw my soon to be husbands lip quivering……

  22. Ms. V. February 5, 2009 at 1:54 pm #

    you guys are adorable!

    i only post in small letters on your blog. lol

  23. Run Mommy February 5, 2009 at 2:24 pm #

    The picture of you and the hubby is so cute! You both have so much concentration on your faces. Fantastic.

  24. jen February 5, 2009 at 2:26 pm #

    Awesome Aron!!! :) That was really fun to read. I knew some of that stuff kind of, but that was still enlightening. I think Boston is hardly a pie-in-the-sky goal though, you'll be a BQ runner in just a few short months. :)

    I feel bad because I came up with a great question for Maritza and the others after I already sent these to you… about naming your favorite physical trait about yourself. I made you name your insecurity! That's horrible of me!! I'll just answer for you though, because in those pictures your LEGS look unbelieveable. <3

  25. Running and living February 5, 2009 at 2:30 pm #

    Great pictures! You look so strong and determined! Great interview, too. I would love to be interviewed as well!

  26. Mica February 5, 2009 at 4:51 pm #

    Those are great pictures! The boyfriend and I just talked about how strong your legs look–sorry, that’s creepy-sounding.

    Interview me!! (But only if you want to :) )

  27. teacherwoman February 5, 2009 at 5:02 pm #

    Love the race photos! You look great in all of them!

  28. RunToFinish February 5, 2009 at 5:15 pm #

    wow a picture together how cool!!

    i totally see you doing an ultra some day

  29. D10 February 5, 2009 at 5:23 pm #

    Great pictures! I think you are going to BQ this year! You’ll love Boston and the east coast.

  30. Joe February 5, 2009 at 5:59 pm #

    Great pics! I’m with you, hoping to one day qualify for Boston . . .

  31. lindsay February 5, 2009 at 6:33 pm #

    great pics! your leg muscles are awesome. :)

    bq here you come!!

  32. joyRuN February 5, 2009 at 6:39 pm #

    That's great you got pics of you & Chris together in the race. You guys look awesome!!

  33. merrymishaps February 5, 2009 at 7:54 pm #

    Great pics!
    I usually look like crap in mine :)

  34. Julianne February 5, 2009 at 10:51 pm #

    Those are really great photos of you! You look way too good for someone who’s running a half! ;-) Love the ones with you and Chris!!

  35. Carlee February 6, 2009 at 4:35 am #

    I was just reading your notes to self as you start to get ready for another training season. I think some of the things you said, I really need to listen to. I’m in week 3 of my training program and I am terrified of missing even one day (for any reason, even pain). Thanks for reminding me that listening to my body is more important than following some numbers on a print out.

  36. ShirleyPerly February 6, 2009 at 5:57 am #

    How wonderful to have a photo of you and your hubby running together in a race! I sooo wish my husband could run (bad knees won't let him) but at least we can cycling together.

    And enjoyed reading your Q&As. I'll bet by the time you're my age you'll have to be thinking up new things for Q#3. Keep it up!

  37. Petraruns February 6, 2009 at 7:33 am #

    Great photos and well – I know you’ll disagree because that what we’re like – but I don’t know how you can have any insecurities about that enviable body! You look gorgeous – the kind of girl I line up behind and sigh and think – oh man, I’ll never look like that…

    If you haven’t had too many requests – do interview me. It’s good to think about this stuff.

  38. Amanda February 6, 2009 at 9:39 am #

    Those are great pics, and I enjoyed your interview. It would definitely be good reading to follow you on a journey to an Ultra:)

  39. Alisa February 6, 2009 at 10:45 am #

    I love that first one of you and Chris! Awesome! (Oh and that last one…holy crap woman look at those muscles!!!)

    Love the interview. I wanted to run down the aisle too BUT it’s a bit hard to do in a wedding dress =).

    I’m with ya on the 50 states, maybe we could get a group together and cut hotel costs at least…or better yet a sponsor for a team and have them pay for airfare/hotels/entry fees…if we’re pipe dreaming!

  40. rolf February 6, 2009 at 11:23 am #

    Great Pics! With your determination and desire I am sure you will get your BQ very soon!

  41. Jess February 6, 2009 at 11:40 am #

  42. P.O.M. February 6, 2009 at 2:15 pm #

  44. The Laminator February 6, 2009 at 7:50 pm #

    Awesome pictures, Aron. And I hope you get to meet your dream goal this year. I’ll be leaving tips along the way to help…

  45. X-Country2 February 6, 2009 at 8:07 pm #

    These interview are so interesting! Great race pics too. You and your hubby are adorable.

  46. Oz Runner February 6, 2009 at 8:41 pm #

    great pics and interview….good luck on hitting all 50 states! I got my new Mens Journal mag in the mail today and it talked about a guy that did over 100 marathons last year…averaged like 8 marathons a month…I can’t even imagine.

  47. Laurel February 6, 2009 at 9:03 pm #

    I love the pic of you and Chris. And the interview too!

  48. Southbay Girl February 7, 2009 at 9:31 pm #
