5 Things About Me: Waleed Suliman
- I was born and raised in Amman, Jordan. I’m the oldest of 6, with 4 sisters and one brother who will be 4 years old in November.
- Some of my favorite movies are: Talladega Nights, Django Unchained, Gladiator, The Fast and the Furious franchise, Cars, Goodfellas, and Seven.
- I enjoy listening to music a lot. Name a genre and I could possibly give the name of at least one band/artist.
- I enjoy cooking as well. During the season, I tend to cook boring and quick meals because I’m too tired from practice and trying to eat healthy. In the fall, however, football is always on, either the crockpot oven, grill, or dutch oven is hot, and my apartment smells heavenly. I also love coffee. I only drink my coffee black.
- Mondays and Wednesdays are my least favorite days. Thursdays are my favorite because it’s the medium-long run day.
5 Fast Questions
- What is your go-to training shoe? Brooks Ghost Max
- What’s your favorite cross training activity? Biking
- What’s a show, movie, or podcast that everyone should check out? You should definitely watch New Girl. Some of my teammates think that I’m a combination of Winston and Schmidt.
- If I weren’t a runner, I’d mostly likely be… an Automotive technician
- Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina? I have a few friends who live in the Raleigh region.
