I was tagged by RunningLaur at When I get a little, run run run.... about (over) a week ago for Crazy 8's. I feel terrible it has taken me so long to finally participate. Just a little note about RunningLaur. She recently warmed my heart by taking a nice trail run and saying it was because of following my blog and seeing how fun it looked. I'm so happy I have inspired one person to get off the pavement and onto the trail. ;)
Anyway. Back to the Crazy 8 thing. I'm changing the last question and making up one of my own.

About Me
- Jo Lynn
- I am 47 years old, happily married, a mom to a 24 year old daughter, a 25 year old step-daughter, and a 7 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog named Boomer. I've been road running for several years. In 2006, I was lucky enough to reconnect with someone from my past, an avid trail runner, (Dirt Diva). Because of this, trail running has become my new passion. I completed my first ultra-marathon in September, 2008. Even though my favorite activity is trail running with Boomer, I have recently taken up swimming and cycling too. My first triathlon was completed in September, 2009. So far in 2011, I've completed two 100-mile bike rides along with one adventure race. What's next? We'll just have to see.

DayUM, I gotta get on the ball here! So funny, my husband, 6'5" ALWAYS gets asked to help get things from the top shelf at the grocery store. Little ladies just come up to about his belt line, look up, excuse me SIR (SIR it's a southern thing), could you get that box of cereal for me please? hahaha.
Great list.
Yay! I like that it took you a while to do the meme, it spreads out the fun.
You have so many exciting things coming up, it's fun to see them all in a list like that.
I'd adopt every shelter pet ever too.
Turning 45 was no big deal...put me into the next age group, so now my results are lots better (I can run faster than SOME of those 49 year old biatches after all ! LOL)
If you figure out the sleep through the night thing, let me know :-)
I totally agree with you about the beautiful scenery totally beating out the perk of public transportation!
I love the 8 things questionaire. It is so fun to learn new things about friends. I must say my favorite was this:
8. Rescue every dog and cat on death row at a shelter. All shelters if I could.
I just cry when I think about all of those poor animals that just get abandoned and don't have a loving home to go to. I always tell Jason that when we can have a pet one day, IT WILL be from a shelter and I want the ugliest one that has been passed by day after day :)
I also agree with you about the fear of not being able to run due to an injury. I have had that scare a couple times and it was the most miserable feeling!!
i wear my hair up in a pony tail every day too. :)
Oh exciting! I got tagged!
See you tomorrow!!!
"Reach the top shelf in a grocery store. Or in my house for that matter."
ME TOO!
JAMAICA!!!
Woohoo, almost everything you look forward to is running related - how COOL!
OH shit! I promise I'll do this tomorrow-sunday-before I get back to work!!!
I cant WAIT for San Fran! I of course want to meet up with you before that and run a trail race!!
There were alot of your 8's that I would or probably will say....
REI today was a madhouse!
How's Boomer??
If we are able to inspire one runner to leave the roads and head to the trail less taken...well, the trail run less taken, then it is all worth while now isn't it. That's who we do it for. Spread the trail running love all over the world!
