Twenty Qs
| January 22, 2012 | Posted by Sweet Tooth Runner under Surveys |
Happy weekend!! Hope you’re all having a great one! Mine has been amazing so far, and I’ll do a full recap tomorrow! In the meantime, I love these survey thingies, and so when I saw this one on Chelsey’s blog, I knew I had to do it!
1) What is one of your favourite ways to spend a Saturday?
My perfect Saturday includes running, spending time with friends and family, and eating (slightly undercooked) brownies.
2) List your top three favourite TV shows.
Honestly, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but when I do, it is almost always:
- Criminal Minds
- Friends
- Downton Abbey
3) Would you rather be in pictures or take them?
Personally, I’d rather photobomb.
Honestly, I know everyone chooses the taking them option (also, saying you like being in them more sounds…vain almost?), but I do love seeing pictures of myself from over the years. I love looking back on different times and events in my life and reminiscing!
4) Why do you blog?
Because I really love sharing my passion with others and ‘meeting’ people who share it!
5) Share five websites that you visit regularly…
Looking this up right now for accuracy…
- Dailymile
- Running Times
- Runners World
6) If you could have lunch with one person from your Twitter list who would it be?
Sorry friends, I would say you guys, but Paula Radcliffe and Shalane Flanagan just win it here! 
7) List a few of your favourite snacks.
- peanut butter and anything
- oatmeal
- cereal
- veggies/fruit
8 ) Do you have a pet? If so, what kind?
My six year old Miniature Schnauzer called Buddy! He is my best friend, and I am currently training him to be my new running buddy. Our PDR together is…half a mile. We’re working on it!!
9) Which three material possessions would you struggle to live without?
- my running shoes
- my Bible
- my iPhone
10) What’s your favourite drink?
I love water…is that weird? But I’d never ever pass up on a cappuccino!
11) Do you enjoy cooking?
Cooking yes, but baking even more so! It is my preferred form of therapy 
12) Do you have children?
Yeah I do. I’ve managed to conceal it from the blog all this time. Scandalous.
13) What are your favourite hobbies?
Will Smith has got it right.
Ok, he needs to add eating, music, and sleeping to that list, but he’s got the main two covered!
14) Would you consider yourself to be shy or outgoing?
Urgh I feel so clichéd writing it, but I’m definitely more outgoing than shy!
15) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would you change?
Be able to tell my left from my right without doing the ‘L’ shape with my hands. I wish I was joking, but yes I do have to do that!
16) Who is your favourite athlete?
Yup, I changed the question because I couldn’t think of my favourite actor! My favourite athlete is Paula Radcliffe. She has more spirit, resilience, and determination than anyone I know. I heard a commentator on the radio once say that her 2.15.25 marathon record is the equivalent to a men’s sub 2 marathon!! Beyond amazing.
17) What’s the coolest thing you’ve done this week?
Haha the coolest thing?! I’m really not cool. No wait scratch that, I just bought a foam roller from eBay, no less. Don’t tell me that that’s not cool.
18) Do you live near your family or far from them?
Mixed, some close, some far! Some of my family live in New York and in India though, so they’re really far away sadly!
19) List three of your talents.
- Procrastinating. All I need is internet/a book/my imagination.
- Music possibly, because I have perfect pitch, but this brings up the whole nature vs. nurture thing!
- Eating. I have actually won an eating contest before, so this is allowed to be listed as a talent!
20) What is your greatest attribute?
This is the hardest question for sure! I will say my positivity. I generally always see the good in everything. Life looks so much better through rose tinted glasses
Alrighty, I’m off to bed to catch my EIGHT hours of sleep (I’m aiming to get that every night this week!). And then eat pancakes when I wake up. Love the weekend!
Choose one of these questions to answer!
Have a great weekend friends! <3
I would choose a question to answer, but to be honest all my answers are the same! Hmmm except TV shows. So I will say my favorite TV shows are the office, cupcake wars, and anything on E! because that’s what I watch while I work out! Oh and my family does not live in India or New York. We’re all over the US!

I love surveys.
There are so many questions I’d want to answer though. And agreed, photobombing >>> everything else.

They have foam rollers on eBay? I was just thinking yesterday that I need one for my hamstrings. I also like to be in photos.
I’ve never seen that Will Smith quote, but it basically describes my life and very accurately describes what I did today! Have an awesome weekend.
Maria @ Beautiful Busy Bee recently posted..Pinterest is the best cookbook.
You certainly are incredibly positive!!! And don’t feel vain for liking to be in pictures! Your pics always make me smile so thats a good quality! Can’t wait to fill this out too!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! recently posted..Updates (Giveaway!)
ah so many similar answers to me! Buying a foam roller = totally cool. the coolest thing I did all week was use mine, probably! and undercooked brownies are really my preferred way to eat them too
. Hmm I’ll answer a question where my answer was different…I am TOTALLY shy rather than outgoing! I love my friends but have a lot of trouble making new ones haha. I get nervous meeting people! it’s obviously always worth it though, so its totally something I need to work on!
Kate @ Chasing It recently posted..Five Friday Favorites!
Love your answers! Completely off topic but have you ever ordered/bought SunWarrior in England?? If so, where from? I’m on a mission to get my hands on some!
I’ve never bought it, but I’m pretty sure the cheapest place to buy it is from iHerb! You can only order it online here
BAHAHAHA. I just nearly died about your comment of leaving your children off the blog. Hilarious.
Hollie@lolzthatswim recently posted..What Is Normalacy?
Buddy is SO cute! And I love that your perfect Saturday includes slightly undercooked brownies, hahaha. I think those would make any day perfection!
YAY for foam rollers. I’m obsessed with mine.

Luf reading surveys and doing them! (Great procrastination too!)
Erm, Downton Abbey is causing me severe withdrawral which is really quite sad.
Positivity is definitely a great attribute. I wish I had a bit more!
Happy Pancake Sunday!
Surveys are so much fun to fill out! I love veg/cereal/oatmeal and peanut butter as snacks too..my new favourite thing though is low fat cream cheese with sugar free hot chocolate powder stirred in, full of protein and delicious
yum.

I can’t do left and right either- I have a big patch of freckles on my right wrist so that is how I tell most of the time!

Yikes, we have so many of the same answers…other than the personality thing. I am most definitely an introvert, and probably should have been born a cat.
Oh, and I have precisely 1/90th your musical ability.
Can’t wait to hear about your fun week-end! Glad it was a good one.
