Four Fun Facts

It’s race week!!! I’m happy to say that I’m feeling better today. I was feeling off starting on Thanksgiving – almost like I was about to get a cold, and it has luckily not turned into one. My legs have been heavy on runs since the taper started, but this morning’s run with 3 x 1 mile at race pace felt good. I’m on the road to recovery and feeling more and more optimistic by the day.

Let’s have some fun on race week. I was tagged for this survey (also going around under the Mustache theme) by Beth. I won’t tag anyone in particular but if you want to include it in your blog (and haven’t already), please feel free to do so!

4 Names People Call Me

  1. Nikki/Nicky (by relatives who have forgotten I stopped going by it circa 1988 and by a few college roommates)
  2. Mongita (Mike’s nickname is Mongo as a result of his voracious appetite and since we’re married and I also am quite hungry all the time, I’ve acquired this nickname)
  3. The Beast (for relentless energy and dedication toward training)
  4. Tasmania (because after I’m done with the kitchen it looks like a Tasmanian devil went through)

4 Jobs

  1. Hostess at Chili’s (first job!)
  2. Marketing intern for a book store in Madrid, Spain (while studying abroad)
  3. Auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers
  4. Sr. Financial Analyst (current job)

4 Movies I’ve Watched More Than Once 

I haven’t watched a movie over and over again in years…but in the old days these were my favorites:

  1. Scream
  2. Zoolander
  3. Austin Powers 2 (my best friend and I probably annoyed everyone we knew by constantly quoting this movie- riiiight).
  4. Home Alone

4 Books I’d Recommend

  2. Born to Run

    GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND, Nicole!!! I’ll be cheering for you from home 🙂
    I must admit- I’m super jealous of the places you’ve lived!
    And I can’t believe you watched Scream often! I watched it again a few years ago and was scared for weeks!

    Love this! ‘Im hungry’ was on the top of the things I always say list. Seriously always hungry… Or hangry I should say:) looks like you have travelled all over the place, lucky girl! I studied abroad in Australia and definitely caught the travel bug over there. I have never been to Europe but hope to visit one day soon.
