How long have you been running? 9 years
What made you decide to begin running? The Freshman/Sophomore 15.
Did you run competitively in high school? When my soccer coach sent us to run we would go around the corner and hideout at the local playground for 20 minutes.
Did you run competitively in college? No
When / why did you join SRR? November 2004. I had just moved to the Boston area and I liked the SRR website.
Total number races: A whole lot each year
Favorite race (and why): DCRRC Tidal Basin 3K held the 3rd Wednesday of every month at noon. It's a free race held in all conditions (flooding, heat, cold, etc.) that involves runners on their lunch breaks sprinting like maniacs while dodging tourists and unnaturally low tree branches.
Favorite running shoe: Nike Structure Triax
Average miles per week: 15
Most MPW Ever: 35
Best running memory: On an "easy" run sprinting as fast as I could along a river in Italy so an Italian jogger wouldn't pass me. He was also going full steam to hold me off from passing him. We hit the end of the river, side-by-side, and he turned to me and said, "gratzi," the only Italian word I knew. I nodded at him in agreement and we silently went our separate ways.
Worst running memory: After 9 years of running having to use the cab money I run with for the first time 7 miles into a 12 mile run along the Charles.

Fill in the blank: I like it when it's that one moment when it all comes together. I hate it when it all falls apart.
