1. Who inspires you with regard to running?
Originally, Joe Malinowski. He was the only one, at the time, that I really knew that ran marathons. (He is a family friend, was my mother's boss for awhile, and I even briefly dated his son in my early teens.) He has always believed in testing his physical boundaries. I cannot even count the number of times I have called him crazy. At age 62, he just ran his 75th marathon, including 29 consecutive years at the Marine Corps Marathon. And that doesn't count the ultra-marathons he has run. I don't know how many, but I think over 20, including the Keys100. His daughter, Jodi, is also a marathoner (and an ultra-marathoner), and was a real encouragement when I was training for my first half marathon. For his 30th run of the Marine Corps Marathon, I hope to cross that starting line with him... who's crazy now?
No music. But a good conversation, if I can find it!!!
3. Do you have any fantasy race/event that you are longing to participate in someday?
The Marine Corps Marathon. See ya in 2011! (To be detailed in my next post.)
4. Think back to grade school ... who was your celebrity crush?Really? I have to admit this? Probably the most memorable is Andrew McCarthy. Yes, I was in love with Andrew McCarthy. I admitted it. You know... "Weekend at Bernie's", "Pretty in Pink", "Mannequin"... totally cheesy 80s flicks.
5. You finally meet your grade school celebrity crush .... what do you do? What do you say?
Um, have you seen him now??? Not sure I'd have much more to say than "I loved you when I was a kid." He looks emaciated. Maybe I would cook him my creamy chicken enchiladas so he wouldn't look so hungry!6. We don't hear about these guys enough .... Pets! Do you have any? Names? Type? Do they sleep in your bed? Are they in the family Christmas card??
Sorry, no pets here. I have enough trouble cleaning after myself and my four kids... oh excuse me, three kids and a husband. ;-)

i love q&a posts. my grade school crush was leo dicaprio. and he could very well qualify as my celebrity crush right now too
Very revealing ... I could use some creamy chicken enchiladas with some crazy-hot grey hot sauce from Honduras.
Haha love it! I maaaaay be seeing you at Marine Corps.
Andrew McCarthy! That is AWESOME!! He was seriously so cute as Larry in Weekend at Bernie's! He makes that movie. But sadly, time wasn't as nice to him as it was to other's. :( But it would still be awesome to meet him. I'd totally just say Weekend at Bernie's quotes to him non-stop. No joke, I can probably recite the movie from beginning to end - WITHOUT the movie playing in the background!
When I made question number 2 I already knew your answer! ;)
Why did I put an apostrophe in others? Ugh, embarrassing. Please pretend you don't see that.
Love it - Pretty in Pink one of my favs... who didn't love Andrew McCarthy? although I always secretly rooted for ducky.
Love this post!
if you are in my age group...you cannot not love Andrew McCarthy!!!
Marine Corps Marathon is amazing. My favorite one to date. Thousands of uniformed Marines saying "thank you, ma'am." SWOON!
& Andrew McCarthy was awesome in the shower w Ally Sheedy in St Elmo's Fire. IJS...
Neat post - it's fun getting to know fellow bloggers :)
No music? I have to run with music!
This was awesome. Open doors into Leslie's life....nothing like it.
KEEP SMILING!!!!
If only to piss off the guy next to you....just sayin'
I LOVED ANDREW growing up!!!! He's a hottie. Agree with you about running. chatting with a friend is the best music!
