Q&A
I run because: Running is something that I find extremely relaxing and comforting. It helps me relieve all of the stresses in my life in something I enjoy. I don't do it for any other reason besides the simple fact that it is fun.
My running hero is: Ryan Hall, the American marathoner, is definitely my running hero. He runs with his heart and is so passionate about the sport that you cannot help but be inspired.
The place in the world I would most like to visit is: If I could go anywhere in the world I would definitely go "down under" in Australia. I think a winter trip there would be great to escape the cold, but on top of that they seem very friendly and welcoming.
The person in the world I would most like to go out to dinner with is: If I could go to dinner with anyone I'd definitely want to go with is Emeril from the cooking network. I really just want to try some of his food more than anything because you always see it on TV and you can just imagine how it tastes.
My favorite TV shows are: The Colbert Report, Heroes, Saved by the Bell, Seinfeld, 24, Best Week Ever, Family Guy, Hannah Montana
My ambitions are: In my life I would really like to break 4 minutes in the mile. Just to be able to do something that was once thought to be impossible would feel amazing. I am also hoping to graduate from Columbia and run professionally.
I couldn’t live without: My spike collection, cell phone, internet, Dyestat and short-shorts.
