<span style="color:#0000FF;"><b><br><br>
1. Why do you run?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">I started to run to lose weight and the lovely E was running and part of the local running community. I stay running because I enjoy it and it keeps the unwanted pounds off.<br><br></span> <b>2. What is your greatest accomplishment?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">I am not sure I have a greatest accomplishment. I have had many accomplishments that I am proud of. Earning the title Marine is a big one. Getting and staying in shape is another one. I have made some major lifestyle changes and due to them my life certainly has been enriched.<br><br></span> <b>3. What is your motto/theme song?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">No theme song that I can think of.<br>
Motto: <i><span style="font-size:small;">Quitting is not an option</span></i>. Once you remove quitting from the list of possible options almost anything is possible.<br><br></span> <b>4. How do you deal with bad runs?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">I am not sure I believe in bad runs. Every run is an opportunity for which I am grateful. Runs that don't go according to plan always teach me something about myself.</span><br><b>5. Do you reward yourself for good runs? How?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">No rewards for good runs since all of my runs are good if for no other reason than I had the ability and opportunity to be able to run. There are people all over the world who due to war, famine, disease, etc. who do not have the luxury to go out and run.<br><br></span> <b>6. Who do you admire most?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">I admire everyday people who take the time to be kind to in some way make our world a better place. Most of these acts of kindness go unrecognized and unnoticed except to those directly involved.<br><br></span> <b>7. What is the greatest advice you have ever received?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;"><i>Be excellent to eachother</i>. Which to me means to not be selfish and to do what I can to brighten somebody else's day.<br><br></span> <b>8. What do wish you had learned younger?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">That there's nothing wrong with being who I am. Nerds are people too.<br><br></span> <b>9. What do you wish you could do but can't?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">Travel more.<br><br></span> <b>10. How would your friends describe your personality?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">Funny, insightful.</span><br><b>11. What do you wear running? favorite outfit?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">No favorite outfit except orange shorts during races.<br><br></span> <b>12. What has been your favorite race?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">Western States 2007.</span><br><b>13. Do you have a goal race right now?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">Maybe Western States 2008 depending on the lottery. If not I may try to run the Grand Tetons so I can meet and maybe even run with one of my ultra idols merigayle.<br><br></span> <b>14. What makes you happy?<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">Spending time with people I love.<br><br></span> <b>15. Tell us one interesting thing about you that you haven't said (at least not often) on this forum in the past.<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">It might be easier to come up with things I wish I hadn't said here. I can't think of anything.<br><br></span> <b>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!).<br><br></b><span style="color:#000000;">I don't know anyone's secrets.
