I have been tagged by Beki -
Here are my answers to 11 running questions:

1. What time of day do you run?
Usually at 6am during the week but it can vary
on the weekends.

2. What are your favourite runs?
I really enjoy the 10km runs i do on Mondays and
Tuesdays. I do think though that a longer weekend
run will become the one i like the most.

3. What is your favorite song to run to?
Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls

4. What book are you reading at the moment?
Sarum by Edward Rutherford. It's an historic novel
(a very long one) spanning from about 5000BC until late
in the 20th Century and tells the story of Salisbury
in England. It has taken me quite a long time to get
through it, perhaps another week or two until the end!
5. When did you start running?
This time about 2 years ago and have only recently
began to venture into distance running.

6. What's your post-race/post-run ritual?
Lots of water and definately a meal of some sort within
2 hours (preferably within 1 hour)of completing the run.

7. What do you eat before you run?
Nothing and if it's an afternoon/evening run, not for
2-3hrs beforehand.

8. What's your favorite running accessory?
My Creative Muvo TXFM Music/radio player thing!

9. What's your motivation for running?
I began to help me give up smoking and then caught
the bug. Now i can't stop!

10 What are your running shoes?
I have several in different stages of wear.
Asics Evolution soon to be retired
Nike Free soon to be retired
Asics Kayano at about half life
Mizuno Wave Elixir about a month old
Mizuno Wave Nirvana about 2 weeks old
Puma Grass Cat for trails/cross country only.

11. What is your next running goal?
Puffing Billy Great Train Race May 7
