How long have you been running? As soon as I could.
What made you decide to begin running? Because my sister did.
Did you run competitively in high school? Yup.
Did you run competitively in college? Yup.
Total number races: hundreds
Favorite race (and why): Fitchburg, MA 1500: because although I had smashed my knee during a Kappa Sig Keg Toss the day before and could barely walk, I won the race and 11 seconds off my previous PR. (4:41:01)
Favorite race distance: 800, 1500, 10K and Marathon. Really... all races when I'm in shape! I just LOVE running. Run run run.
Best running memory: Seeing my mom, at any given race, trying to cheer for me but — she was so excited all she could do was cry. And I wonder why I am so emotional?
Scary running memory: I have been flashed in Duxbury, Milan, Durham 2X, and in Chicago by a guy on a bike. Is this normal?
Worst running memory: Franklin Park Cross Country Division Championships: I remember it was so cold and rained so hard the HS football game was canceled. My muscles froze up during an early race fall and by the end I couldn't feel them. The last 200 meters began with a muddy descent. Let's just say I thought I was Super Man and ended up crawling like a baby over the finish line. HS was a tough time for racing... I have crawled over a few finish lines, had oxygen in the emergency vehicle and been so delirious, I cut across the football field on the final lap of one of the races. I guess the apple for lunch didn't provide quite enough energy. Maybe this is runner's high? Or was I just on drugs to keep on racing?

Running PR's (when and where):
         Khourys: Never been. (Steve, I really have been meaning to make it one of these nights!!)
