Favorite Songs/Artists: Too many to list…I like it all!
Favorite Workout Songs: I don’t listen to music when I work out…usually just listen to Maritza bragging about how wonderful she is, which is difficult because she’s usually ! so far behind me I can’t hear her.
Morning or Evening: Depends on the activities of the night before.
Favorite Web Sites: Active.com and southwest.com, my goal is to do a marathon in every state so I visit these 2 sites all the time!
Favorite Eatery/Restaurant: anything mexican
When you have downtime, how do you spend it? Swim/Bike/Run, read, eat, consume fermented beverages, hang out with friends, avoid doing laundry, travel, try to bribe friend’s into cleaning my cats litter box, shop for tri gear, try to convince Maritza she’s not old and slow (BTW, if anyone wants to be Maritza’s Secret Santa she prefers the Extra Absorbant Depends Under Garments in size Grande).
Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
1) I’m still a virgin.
2) My first name is really Mary (as in “The Virgin.”)
3) I’m a really good cook.

Hey Marin: I don’t think too many people will be reading your bio but just in case I wanted to set the record straight. Yes it’s true that I usually let you set the pace when we run. I like to run nice and slow on our practice runs. This way I can freely talk and provide motivating stories to you and our running group. Now the part about the depends undergarments is untrue. If you’ll recall, you embarassingly soiled yourself at the Las Vegas 2005 marathon. Because of that, we took precautions at the Newport Marathon. I purchased the small for myself and you purchased the grande simply because you had eaten so much Mexican food the day before the race. Remember.. El Sombrero..The Chimichunga you had. Anyway, just wanted to get the facts straight. I know it’s hard for you to keep the facts straight sometimes. The blonde thing. So I don’t blame you. Here is to another year of running marathons and doing an ironman. We are truly amazing!!!!!

Maritza said, “Chimichunga.” That’s way too freaking funny.

is “chimichunga” some endearing word for a cute waiter?
doesn’t sound like very satisfying!
