Best running memory: Winning 2nd fastest heat by out kicking two Navy runners in final straight of 800m at Patriots my senior year and PRing.
Worst running memory: Watching the very next heat put 6 of the 10 runners in front of my time, putting me out of point contention. However, at least I didn't boot after the race.

Running PR's (when and where):

Khourys 25:20 (3/1/07)
5 K 16:05 (10/23/04, CCSU [received Patriot League Runner of the Week])
10 K horrendous distance. Only time I ran it was the fall of '01 at the NCAA qualifier and I told my coach I'd never run it in college again. 35? Not bad but terrible when you go out with everyone else around 5 minute pace. This might have actually been my worst running memory.

I hate it when: We run out of food and only have ¼ inch of spoiled milk and lots of butter in the fridge.
Favorite quote: "There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese." - Coach Finstock, Teen Wolf
