1. Why do you run? ...I run because I started running in middle school. Over the PA came an announcement to run cross country, so I gave it a shot. I was pretty good, so I kept running. Outside of my injury streak, I haven't stopped.<br><br>
2. What is your greatest accomplishment? ...My greatest running achievement is running 35:54 in a 10k...My greatest overall achievement, now that's a hard one...I could say graduating high school, but that was expected...Not dying yet?<br><br>
3. What is your motto/theme song? ...Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner -- Iron Maiden<br><br>
4. How do you deal with bad runs? ...I get pissed off. If I'm having a bad run, I don't walk, I just stop. A bad run is a bad run for a reason, so I stop and try again the next day.<br><br>
5. Do you reward yourself for good runs? How? ...I do not reward myself for good runs, because outside of when I have a bad run, every run is a good run.<br><br>
6. Who do you admire most? ...This is another tough question. I would probably have to say my dad. I can count on him and trust him more than most people.<br><br>
7. What is the greatest advice you have ever received? ...Learn at least one thing from every person you encounter.<br><br>

10. How would your friends describe your personality? ...Attempted. I am still learning how to handle social situations. I still stick my foot in my mouth a lot.<br><br>
11. What do you wear running? favorite outfit? ...When running, I wear as little as possible to stay comfortable. I have been known to wear running shorts and a thin long sleeved t-shirt when it is in the teens. My favorite outfit...well, I used to hate dressing up, but now I look damn good in a suit...so I'd say a suit.<br><br>
12. What has been your favorite race? ...My favorite race would have to be the Footlocker Midwest Regional. A very hilly course, almost always extremely muddy and intense.<br><br>

14. What makes you happy? ...Being with two really good friends of mine, I always have a good time with them...anything related to the weather...running...and baking...<br><br>

16. Tell us one interesting thing about another user of this forum that has not been posted (at least not often) on this forum in the past (make sure the other person will not object to posting the info!). ...I will not name names, but I know someone who is somewhat engaged.
