I'm ashamed to say I got 1/7, meaning I'm a 'jogger'.

And you?

hmm.. yes I mainly guessed too and got 4 right. Knew 2 of them. Interesting quiz though, thanks for sharing.

I got three, two were complete guesses and 1 was a bit of an educated guess based on the fact the French is spoken in Morocco!! Still - I am a runner!

I got 4, mainly thanks to Marathon des Sables running son-in-law. Now he really is a runner. I'm a jogger. ;)

Hey I got 5!!! This is only because my youngest son ran the Atacama desert ultra marathon in March this year, and we talked a lot about running!

In fact, he was partly the inspiration for me to do C25K.
