5 Fast Questions

1. What’s your favorite cereal? Lucky Charms sans the grains.
2. What makes a good running partner? A half stepper who picks the right days, and a know-it-all who admits when s/he’s wrong.
3. What’s your favorite post run beverage? 3 way tie between milk, brewski, and bodyarmor.
4. Do you have any connections to Raleigh or North Carolina? I’ve raced the Raleigh Relays and had a truly shocking long run experience in the Umstead State Park — read, no toilets for a while out there…
5. If it wasn’t for running, I’d probably be… I’d probably be exceptional in my averageness.
