How long have you been running?
On and off since high school, consistently for 3 years.
What made you decide to begin running?
A friend joined the track team and convinced
me to join too. 3 years ago, I went for a run and my triceps were swinging in the wind —
time to run a little more often!
Did you run competitively in high school? Yes, Freshman and Sophomore years — mostly
finished last.
Did you run competitively in college? No
