Hey, my name is Cathy, I'm from Baltimore, born and raised! One of the first things that either friends or family ask when they call me is, "Are you running?

I am an avid long distance runner. It is a huge part of my life, and keeps me sane and grounded when I need it most. I can truly admit that it is a passion of mine that I would love to share with someone who's interested...

I absolutely love music and good movies. I like going out to a bar now and again but sometimes I'd rather just stay in or maybe do something active outdoors.

I can be spontaneous and a little scatter-brained at times. I'm really a lover, not a fighter. I'm bound to change my mind...plenty of times. This should not come as a shock to you.
I believe in doing what's right. At times I am completely in love with things, life, people, moments.
I've been told I pour my self into my relationships, giving myself, trusting, even after some time, because I believe in taking chances when it feels right....naive and a hopeless romantic? Maybe.

I love coffee and Total Zero Red Bull...and as a result of the regular consumption of these beverages, may be slightly addicted to caffeine.

Sometimes I just need a diet coke...
Sometimes, like right now, my thoughts won't let me sleep...
and Sometimes I'm driving and I get a great line in my head and I just need to write it down, and of course I can't find a piece of paper...so I fumble around and wind up writing the best one-line piece of poetry I've ever come up with on an old receipt I'll accidentally throw away the next time I go to fill up at the gas station :oD

To be honest, I am not sure how seriously I am taking this online dating thing anymore. I'm half into this since I haven't found what I'm looking for quite yet. I am hoping that perhaps someone will come along and change my mind lol....

Right now i am working in retail...this consumes most of my time, sadly. The rest of my time is spent running, sleeping, eating, or being silly with my closest friends, which are few but like family to me. I try to surround myself with people who don't piss me off...haha

In other words I am a little picky with who I spend my time with, especially since I have limited free time to begin with.

I want to be a personal trainer. Teaching and motivating others to make better choices and to learn how to inspire themselves is a beautiful thing and I can't wait to be fully involved in this as my full-time career.

Running and coaching long distance running, and I'm fairly good at tennis and figure skating. I try to be a good listener and advice-giver.

I'm a phenomenal dancer...got moves you've never seen :op

I am guessing, but I would say that as far as physical attributes go, my eyes are usually one of the first features that people notice.
My personality would probably be the next thing...I'm silly and sometimes have a pretty interesting sense of humor.
I've also been told I'm fairly outgoing and charismatic at times...just takes a little bit for me to warm up.

Music

Life, love, the future, righting my wrongs, becoming a better person, friend, worker...I think about love and what it means to love people, like friends and family. I think about finding someone to share my life with eventually. I also think about trying to move in a more positive direction with my life.

I could be at home just relaxing, preparing for a race that I have the next day, or I could be out at movie, at a bar or restaurant with some friends...I could be at a bookstore browsing or at the mall...lol it all depends really!

I wanted to be a professional figure skater when I grew up....that didn't happen

First and foremost, if you are interested in getting to know me and have actually read my profile.
You have a love for running, like I do. You're a genuinely good guy, and not looking for a fling but rather a possible meaningful relationship with someone. You like being active and having fun but aren't too crazy...if you're the hardcore partying type, it probably won't work out. If you're into drugs, I'm not interested, sorry. If you like animals and good food and maybe if you're a little bit of a hopeless romantic like myself...if you don't put on a show, and If you're real. If you're NOT a Steelers, Patriots, or Giants fan.

If anyone's ever referred to you as an asshole for how you treat others...you need not apply.

P.S. If you have a shirtless mirror photo, please do not try to talk to me. Also, do not expect a response if your message to me says any variation of "sup? " "What up, girl?" "Girl you so fine..." etc, etc.

If you don't find the prospect of waking up early and running a race or at the very least cheering someone really awesome on a total bore.
