I ain't so sure about this, I mostly answered a) but I'm not really lazy with my running. I run a lot. I kind of enjoy it sometimes, sometimes its crappy.

Dan Dogged. I just like the feel of running not the process or the time it takes. I get bored, but I know I'll feel nasty if I don't run at least 4 times a week.

Mostly b's - I do HIIT because I must (see! I read Crabby and Merry's blog!), not because I wouldn't rather be in Pilates class.

And question 5 must have an "f" -- all of the above and Oprah-level money.

Running with beer sounds a bit challenging, but running TO beer sounds like a great idea.

Isn't there a whole group that calls itself "A drinking group with a running problem?" I believe they build their running events around post-race pub stops but I could be wrong.

Interestingly enough, I'm half Sydnee, half Rhoda.

But I think that "Sloth" part factored in because I'm not a morning person. I take my weekday runs in the evenings, but not late night. "A" was the best answer for me there.

2008-05-22T15:40:00.000-04:00

You know I ran my marathon and drank 3 beers on my 19th mile. I wouldn't recommend it because it came back up on my 23 mile. So I'd stick to the hammock, but I would say I'm a Dan Dogged runner.

Anyone have a good workout video?

2008-05-22T12:46:00.000-04:00

Merry- there is a true art to running with a beer. With practice, you won't spill any of it! Although you might want to practice with some ghastly drink that will be okay to spill. Because you wouldn't want to waste any beer during such practice sessions, now would you? :)

Wouldn't you spill the beer?

I'm Rhoda it would seem.
I'm itching for my lungs to be properly healed up so I can be back at the running...can I like the running and the beer and hammock at the same time?
Because that would be jsut about perfect :)

Hey, this couch is pretty crowded!

I want to be extremely popular & fit & never get hurt when I work out, as well as get better as I grow old. sigh

Sorry, Bag Lady. I tried to make sure the questions could apply to people who weren't trying to score a pair of free pearl izumis as well :(

Mary Anne in K, if my body isn't sure about exercising, I give it a sort of quiz. I figure that I should get on the bike and pedal for five minutes or so. If my body's still saying 'hell no' then I take the hint. Usually I feel better once I've started, but not always.

All over the map, as I expected. (If I take the hammock, do I have to take the beer? A lifetime supply of coffee sounds much better!) I love to walk, but since I've been here where I can't just step out the door and do it, it has been So Hard. (Do not love the bike! But as soon as I finish my coffee here, I'm going to go do it. Promise.) I remember years ago when I was working at the kennel, I had just finished a long busy-holiday day of sweaty physical labor, well into overtime for the week, came home, let my dogs out, showered and changed--and went for a three mile walk before supper. "Are you crazy?" I asked myself when I got back. But it felt so good.
When I don't feel like exercising, it is really hard to know whether I should force myself or not. Sometimes I just need the push, but sometimes I don't feel like it because I really don't have any energy left.
Kick-boxing. Crabby, shouldn't this be played indoors on a smooth gym floor? And the goalies should have something like a broom that won't damage the box.

2008-05-22T09:54:00.001-04:00

Rhoda Runner (except in my case that should Ginnie Gymmer? Or Wanda Workout? Or Paula Pusher? No.. not Paula).

But questions # 4.. who wouldn't want their fairy godmother to grant them getting better as they got older? That's a trick question.

Honestly, I plan out my workout days/ rest days by Saturday night. Plan out my private workouts and sometimes want to plan out my trainer workouts. (yes, there is just a bit of a control issue there).

I keep meaning to track my progress more formally, though... maybe I'll work on that chart on Saturday. It's a rest day.

2008-05-22T09:21:00.000-04:00

Hmmm. I am a mix between Rhoda and Dan, but I recognize more Rhoda in me. I really do love running, and don't feel it's a chore as the Dan character suggests.

Right, so now that I've finished my sprint intervals for the day, I seriously need some coffee.

2008-05-22T09:01:00.000-04:00

I had 2 c's, 2 d's and 1 c/d because I couldn't make up my mind. That's pretty accurate. I l-o-v-e running (a friend calls me Crazy Running Woman) but when necessary, I go for the kill.

If you weren't pimping the Pearls, I'd be more likely to answer Ds :P

What's up with that? You getting sponsored?

Fun quiz. I am a Dan Dogged, which I think fits. I won't give up working out (which is my sub for just running) because I know I feel better when I am exercising regularly. But if I could feel great without doing it...Well, there are plenty of other things I could do with my time.
