Thank you so much RunningToHerDreams for nominating me for the best moments award.  It is such a nice thing for you to do!!!  Please check out her blog, as I do think it is a “pretty awesome” place (and she is a “pretty awesome” person) to learn how to be positive in the midst of life’s storms!!! You will also be able to pick up some great running tips along the way.  🙂

Here are the rules:

1. Display the award logo

2. Link back to the person who nominated you

 3. State 7 things about yourself

1. I run for fun, but the fun is a race or the feeling at the end of a great run – I don’t enjoy the everyday run much… at least not in the summer.
2. I used to be mostly deaf as a kid.  I read lips so no one knew it.  I had my adenoids out at 5 and have heard well ever since.
3. I don’t like to read much and have never written much until my blog.
4. I have the best family a man could have.  We aren’t perfect, but we are a close, loving family who would do anything for each other.
5. My Lovely Wife and I got engaged 3 weeks after we met and married in 4 months.  We wanted to marry sooner, but didn’t think our families would approve.
6. I hate vegetables. Not a good thing for a runner.
7. When I was young, my goal was not to become president or an astronaut…  I wanted to be a dog.  Yup.  To be able to lay around all day and eat when you wanted… What a life.

4. Nominate 15 (or however many you can) other bloggers for this award.

Here are some of the running blogs I read daily (not listed in any particular order).  Of course not all of my favorites are listed as I have more than 15, but ones I like a lot – I would nominate RunningToHerDreams, but I think that might be against the rules.  🙂  I am keeping this list to running blogs.  I do read others like (TheBlogInTheFog), but just want to keep with the theme of my site!
