5 Things About Me: Lauren Paquette
- I really want an RV! I don’t have to explain. Maybe Craig Engels will sell me his.
- My New Year’s Resolution this year was to not spend money on anything not related to running. My one cheat has been a European blowdryer because I fried mine this year in Ireland! You don’t understand – this was a necessity for the mane.
- Indian is my favorite cuisine.
- I consider myself from either Texas, Arkansas, Florida, or Tennessee depending on who I’m talking to and when in my life we’re talking about.
- I wanted to play volleyball in college (libero) before I was asked to fill in for a girl on the cross-country team at state who was sick – that’s when fell in love with it even though I walked in my first race!
