Hello! How are ya? I’ve had a kinda crazy week. And I’m suddenly all into Girls – the TV show that I think came out forever-ago but I heard about it’s the last season and got curious and now am watching all of it. Anyway. It’s not like SATC or Friends or some other happy, fluff show. It’s kinda serious and sad sometimes. Do you agree? Kind of a downer?
My point is – we need to play a game! And some of us (read: your Monican) need a drink. So we’re going to play a game…
This is Never Have I Ever – Runner’s Edition.
How to play: Pretend I’m saying “Never have I ever lost a toenail…” (or whatever’s on the list).
If you have done it – you get 1 point.
If you have not done it – you get 0 points.
The person with the most points wins! The person with the least points has to bring me a warm donut.

Okay. Normally running is about you against you. But today we’re keeping score! What is your score?
I got 23! My dream race would be any flat road race with an awesome view
26 (.2) points!!
35! My dream race? Any Disney Half or full marathon!
17! My dream race (right now) is the Marine Corps Marathon. I just started Girls too–I’m just into Season 2 and loving it.
35 (and I’m the 35th comment)!
35!
25
since I’m injured now, my dream race will be any half marathon.
29! (Although most of my marathon was more walking than running haha).
I love running with my dog and in costume. I actually ran on the treadmill in a corset testing a costume idea….decided against it in the end haha.
30!
26! I actually just started watching Girls myself – sometimes I avoid doing/watching cool things until after they’re over and then I do them, which I think makes me SUPER cool.
My dream race is NYCM – I just think it would be amazing (and hard).
31! I live in Canada so I have DEFINITELY ran in the snow.
Dream run is Boston, Niagara or the Broken Goat trail race.
🙂
33! I ran my dream race, Flying Pig, first and only (so far) marathon.
I loved that little game!
24! Dream race would be Disney or a Rock n Roll race : )
35! haha great list!
also, my bf and i are visiting his bro in costa mesa this weekend, what is your best recommendation for a long run route (or last min race… )?? 🙂
37!! I’ve never:
– peed in a bush…..but I have knocked on the door of a random house and asked to use their washroom since I didn’t think I could make it back (they thankfully obliged!)
– gotten top 3 in a race…. I’m usually pretty happy if I’m in the top half of finishers
– ran with my dog….. since I don’t have a dog. But I’ve run with a friend’s dog
Most unique wildlife I’ve seen on a run was a bear cub while on a run in northern Saskatchewan. I stopped running since I figured mom wasn’t too far behind!!
30. I have gotten lost numerous times!!!@@
LOL, 36! I haven’t been asked for direction, I haven’t written my goal pace on myself (although I love this idea), I haven’t run with my dog because she would lay down and I would have to carry 25 pounds of Pug back home, and I haven’t ran in another country but this is for sure on my top 10 list!!
And my dream race is most definitely Boston!
30 and I am happy to say that I ran two of my dream races – NYRR Brooklyn Half and the Maine Marathon. I need new dreams!
30 and I ran my dream races – NYRR Brooklyn Half and the Maine Marathon.
33! NYC was my dream marathon and I accomplished it—been hard to motivate myself for long distance running since then though.

Um, 37. Boston or the marathon that you run from Niagara falls into Canada.
