Before we get to the fun stuff, can I just say how amazing the weather in Atlanta has been recently!!! I had the pleasure of blogging outside at Starbucks during my lunch break yesterday.
Can it please be like this everyday, all year?
Other eats included:
[Larabar...before my Picky Bar order arrived]
[Carrot + apple + ginger juice from Nuts 'N Berries]
[black bean + Daiya cheese quesadilla with avocado]
[smoothie bowl for two]
Now to the fun stuff!
Several other bloggers have done this, and I thought it’d be fun to share some little known info about me!
Here goes the ABCs of KristyRuns!
A. Age: 27
B. Bed size: King, baby!!! There’s just something so romantic about having a bed so gigantic that you don’t even know that your spouse is in the bed with you…
C. Chore you hate: Dishes. They’re never ending!!!
D. Dogs: A part of the family! Jackie is definitely smarter [and cuter] than most children.
E. Essential start to your day: Breakfast!!! I have to eat breakfast first thing when I wake up. It’s that good.
F. Favorite color: Sage green.
G. Gold or silver: Definitely silver. I don’t think I own any gold.
H. Height: 5’10.5″ Yes. I’m a giant. I don’t wear heels very often…
I. Instruments you play: I took piano lessons for 7 years. We have a piano in our house, and Mark and I can both play. *He’s really musical and has played guitar or bass in several bands.
J. Job title: Project Geologist
K. Kids: None…yet.
L. Live: Atlanta, Georgia (a.k.a The A, Hot-lanta, the Dirty South)
M. Mom’s name: Dona
N. Nicknames: My real name is Kristina, so Kristy is actually a nickname. Between you and me, my parents call me Neeners [don't ask], and Mark calls me “Cute Stuff.”
O. Overnight hospital stays: None!
P. Pet peeve: People who come up with reasons why running is so bad for me and why I should stop…as they smoke and don’t do anything remotely active. Seriously?
Q: Quote from a movie: “A vacation from my PROBLEMS!” [What About Bob? –> Best. Movie. Ever.
R. Righty or Lefty: Righty all the way!
S: Siblings: One older brother, Brett. He’s a sub-3 hour marathoner…BOOM!
T: Time you wake up: 6:00 A.M. on weekdays.
U: Underwear: What’s the question? Do I wear it? Uhhh…yeah. I do.
V: Vegetables you dislike: Sometimes, a chef prepares brussel sprouts, and they’re great. Other times, they taste like dookie. They’re definitely my least favorite veggie.
W: What makes you run late: I always underestimate the time it takes me to get ready, gather my stuff, turn off lights, lock up, etc. I’ll learn…one day…
X: X-rays you’ve had: One, two years ago when I thought I had a stress fracture in my shin. Just shin splints that went away with some aqua jogging.
Y: Yummy food you make: These vegan nachos are my new favorite!
Z: Zoo animal favorite: Giraffe. We’re like soul mates.
There you go! Hope you had as much fun as I did! 
Do you play an instrument? Where do you live? And what is essential to start your day?
Yay for ABCs! I love learning random facts about bloggers.
I agree that your dog is probably smarter and cuter than most kids, just not my kid
lol! Agreed!
Love it!! Wasn’t this fun?? I wish stuff like this came around more often!
Me too!!
LOVED this – What about bob is an all time classic favorite of mine! I’m 5’10! GIANT too and love being tall (used to hate it
)
Start my day with Morning Thunder Tea – it wakes me up and my appetite too. I love juicy oranges in the am and an egg! Then hot yoga for me.
I play the tenor saxophone, though I am no pro, I just enjoy it and always have. I live in Cape Elizabeth, Maine – home to the famous Beach to Beacon 10k in August – Joan Benoit’s race. You should come run it sometime, INCREDIBLE!
Vegetables I hate: swiss chard and potatoes. Love roasted sprouts but they upset my stomach. Vegetables I LOVE: spinach and artichokes, could eat them everyday!
Have a nice day! It is 46 degrees here and feels balmy – gotta get outside and soak up the vitamin D!
Morning Thunder Tea!?! What is that? Sounds like it packs a powerful punch!!! Enjoy your “warm”-ish weather.
My C can be chocolate espresso almond butter
Ummmm…YES!
Haha, I love that you are like soul mates with a giraffe.
Dogs are fantastic. I must have watched that movie a dozen times, it’s just so funny.
Start my day- green monster smoothie and coffee, caffiene is so important.
Live in Toronto(canada), but I am from Newfoundland(also Canada).
Instruments- piano and guitar but not very well.
Yeah, I own What About Bob?, and my brother and I watch it every year. We know every line by memory.
Mmmmm…green monster! What do you put in yours?
That juice looks sooo good. You have put me in the mood for one. I loved the ABC, I must do this soon:) Keep running girl, prove the doubters wrong;)
Yes! You must!
Hah, I like how you answered the questions- you definitely made me lol! An essential start to my day is getting my contacts on so I can see- I’m not blind without them but if I try making breakfast before this happens I usually end up spilling something. Last time it was chia seeds. EVERYWHERE!
lol! That sounds so difficult to clean up!
yum ur nachos look so fantastic! i adore avacado! and ur doggy is soo cute!! is she a runner too!!?
She runs with me every now and then but only on trails, because she has bum knees.
I love What About Bob!!!! and I’m so jealous of your King size bed. I want one. SO.BAD.
It’s the best movie!! We got ours at IKEA, and the price really wasn’t that crazy for the bed + mattress.
I played the saxophone for 3 years – until my music teacher told me I should “try something else.”
I miss Jimmy Johns – when I lived in Georgia, I could walk to one.
I start my day with brushing my teeth and a shower – then breakfast!
Jimmy Johns is definitely the best sub place around. My co-worker was raving about their whole wheat bread today! P.S. What a nice sax teacher! Geez!
Everyday must start with coffee. Otherwise the day just doesn’t count.
I’m a giant right there with you, but proud of it (5′ 11.5″)!! I don’t own heels, just flats!
