My name is Cinder. I love to cook. I like to take pictures of food on my phone.  My favorite color is gold.  I am a slow runner but fast swimmer. I was on my high school swim team and won trophies. I read books. I enjoyed watching Outlander (TV Show).
I don't like pickles. I own an iphone. I like to swim on my back. My favorite color is black. I am a writer. I recently finished working on a short stoy about a runner and his dreams. I have only recently started writing. I believe my most recent story about an aspiring runner is some of my best work yet. I have never seen or heard about the TV show, Outlander. I don't really enjoy the romance genre. I hope to watch Outlander soon. 
I've just signed up for a duathlon! A bit worried my running isn't up to par, so I'll have to really knuckle down and start training every day. Wow that's a big goal, but one you can definitely achieve! How long until the event? I have 3 months before the duathlon so I am planning on figuring out an appropriate training schedule to help me build up my endurance.  Do you have any suggestions for me?  I'm just wondering if perhaps you learned some tips and tricks when you were researching for the story you just wrote. Have you consulted with a doctor and a trainer? That's probably the best tip I could give from a non-medical perspective haha. They could give you personalized, healthy tips to keep you on track with your goal.  That's true...that's good advice.  I'm just excited that part of the event will be cycling...do you like to ride bikes? I do! But in a non-competitive way. I'm more of a leisurely bike ride type of person. I definitely wouldn't be able to handle a duathlon! I'm a bit nervous about being in the event, but I figure, if I exercise more, I'll feel less guilty about trying out some new recipes at home! You'll do great! Do you have any recipes planned for the next few days? I do!  I'm going to be making lasagna tomorrow night and then I'm going to look for some sort of new dessert recipe to make this weekend. Do you prefer ricotta or bechamel in your lasagna? Definitely ricotta.  I find bechamel to be a little too rich for my taste. I grew up with my family using ricotta, but along the way I found out I prefer the bechamel in veggie lasagna. It's delicious!
