He said, She said, They said

Red Head on the Run sent me the Liebster Award as a way to get to know new bloggers…super fun!

She included a list of “get to know me” questions.  I thought it would be fun to let my husband answer them about me and then give my answers, too.  Hence the “He Said, She Said” title.

12 Miles (the routine maintenance run that allows you to keep running)

I love a long run…anything 20 miles and up!  For racing, I love the half marathon, because it allows for quick recovery.
