1. I completed my first marathon to commemorate my 30th birthday (2000) and to prove to myself that I could do it (in spite of hating running most of my life). To date, I've completed 2 Los Angeles marathons, 2 half marathons and a bunch of smaller races (10K's, 5K's). However, my last "running" race was in 2004. With back injuries, packing on extra pounds and moving to a different climate (from sunny L.A.), training for another marathon is on hold.

2. I work for a major food company in product development. I'm a total food geek!

3. I dream of doing a century bike ride (100 miles).

4. I'm a Guitar Hero fan! Can't wait for Guitar Hero 3 to come out!

5. I'm a cookbook collector. I've met Food Network celebs like Rachael Ray, Giada DeLaurentiis and Paula Deen and gotten their autographs.

6. I'm allergic to shellfish and penicillin.

7. I'm a Lifetime Member with Weight Watchers but working to get back to goal!

I don't know who to tag since most of the bloggers I follow have already been tagged! If you are reading my blog for the first time, please consider yourself TAGGED and copy/paste the rules onto your blog!
