The Fun Questions:
Favorite Race: Any NOT around Mission Bay... Destination races extended into a vacation.
Favorite Workout: Cut-own workouts, and any that conclude with donuts + coffee
Words to Live By: "Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things."
Why I Choose to Run for PRT: Great group of people and devoted athletes. Can always find someone to jog easy with, or push you past your 'limit,' and sometimes run/ race to complete exhaustion. And then when the 'work' is done and fist-bumps exchanged, you sip a drink together, laugh so hard it becomes an ab workout, and even respect each other in non-running attire.
Favorite PRT Memory: Bend, OR Cross Country Nationals - Epic.
What I Like to Do Besides Running: Eat, sleep, read, travel... Chase my rabbit around the house. Sip margaritas or coffee besid the beach... Love being outdoors and doing different activities.
