Blogging Awards

I have recently been nominated for several blogger awards and am combining them into one blogger post (is that okay?).  I terms of nominating others, I am branching out a bit and nominating blogs that I have not mentioned before in the hopes that others will stop by and check out their journeys.

Award #1

sisterhood-of-the-world-bloggers-award-w500
Erin over at Swiftfox nominated me for this award.  Thank you Erin!

Here are the questions that I answered to help you get to know me better.

Questions:

  1. What is your favorite colour? Blue. The color of the ocean in the summer when the sun is shining on it.
  2. Favorite animal? It's got to be a tie between cats and dogs.  I have 3 cats and 1 dog.  I do think that polar bears are amazing and would adopt one in a second if I could.
  3. Favorite non-alcoholic drink: Blue Slushies from Needs Convenience Stores
  4. Facebook or twitter? Both. I only started using Twitter so I'm not very good at it.
  5. Favorite pattern? If I'm decorating?  I love wide stripes.  If I'm wearing it...Argyle.
  6. What is my passion? Running....duh!
Now I need to nominate others women for these awards!  This time around, I am choosing to nominate some new blogs that I have discovered from a facebook site called Canuck Running Bloggers (and those that love them).  If you are a runner in Canada, and are not part of this group, please click and join.  It's always fun to find runners in your own country that can sympatize with running in -28 degree weather!!
Okay Ladies...your turn....pay the love forward!

  2. I also love big Bang. I also have no pre-race ritual, other than getting that exact same nervous-excited feeling that I used to get before a gym meet!
    I'm glad you posted this, it reminds me that I have to post mine too!
