Sturgeon Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada

Enjoying a nice cold beer during a snowy sunset. The Pint Cup knows how to live.

Llaima Volcano, Chile

The Pint Cup  and Oliver both run because they work on active volcanoes. They need to be able to get out of there fast in case one of them decides to erupt!!

Epcot Theme Park, Florida

The iconic Epcot dome looks like a mere scoop of ice cream in the Pint Cup "ice cream cone". Also Jeff Jeff, your shirt has vacation written all over it...

Iguana Island, Turks and Caicos

Living that island life. The Pint Cup knows how to take a vacation.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Tasting all of the beers in Fort Lauderdale before continuing on to some tropical islands further south!

Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado

Nothing like a work trip that brings you skiing out in Colorado!

Afghanistan

Doing a quick flyover while deployed in Afghanistan! Thank you for your service, little Pint Cup

Where are you from?  Gastonia, NC

How long have you lived in the area?  About 17 total years in the Triangle, with a few breaks sprinkled in.  The current streak is 12 years.

What are three words your friends would use to describe you?  Lost in space?   Or maybe furry, convivial, and kind?

Why do you run?  Few things in life are as simple, unadorned, and natural.  When I run, I feel completely free and it gives me great joy.

Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run?  I just blindly follow Steph.

What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run?  Camaraderie, community, and beer.

Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone:  I took a picture of my Nike Flyknit Vaporfly 4%s.  Mmmm…shoe porn.

What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you?  This advice wasn’t given directly to me, but I heard it nonetheless and I think it’s great:  “The secret to a long and healthy life is to be stress-free. Be grateful for everything you have, stay away from people who are negative, stay smiling and keep running.” —Fauja Singh

If you could have any talent or skill in the entire world, without needing to practice and money was no limitation, what would it be?  Photographic memory would be pretty useful.

Tell us something about yourself that not many people know:  I’m a character in an award-winning novel.

What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of?  The Boston Marathon, which depending on when this is published, I will have either just done or will be about to do for the first time.

Please share your favorite quote or slogan:  “There’s a bit of Pub Run in all of us.”   (Thank you Sloganizer.net for the help on this one).

Anything else you’d like to share with us?!  Math is not my forte.  My 11 year-old son now regularly beats me in H-O-R-S-E… and it’s not like I don’t have game.   My favorite band has always been and will always be R.E.M.   I wish Pub Run was on Wednesday night.   Late night conversations at a bar, whether with friends or strangers, are a totally underrated experience.   That covers it for now.
