Taking in the sights and sounds of Warsaw! It even tried to get onto the wall of fame at Hotel Bristol, but alas, it came home with it's runner travel companions instead.
Tag: Pint Cup (page 8 of 13)
Work travel is great when you get sent to beautiful countries (and actually have time to do a little sight seeing)!! Also the Pint Cup just adores waterfalls!
So much love in this city! Both the kosher and inappropriate kind. 😉 The Pint Cup let these two love birds join its adventures through the city, and made some time for some worldly reading.
The Pint Cup loves to hike! Especially when the hike is located in tropical weather with beaches nearby, and animal friends to be made.
Name: Jeff Clemons (Jeff Jeff on Facebook)
Where are you from? Boaz, Alabama
How long have you lived in the area? Moved to NC in 2011 and then to CH in 2015.
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? Jovial, Passionate and Stubborn (that last one is how my wife often describes me – in a loving way, of course)
Why do you run? To socialize, compete and problem-solve. Running has provided me an opportunity to meet some pretty amazing people - that are also great athletes and competitors – in the area, while also giving me an avenue to have my “ah-ha” problem solving moments outside of the shower (replacing long showers with long runs has really helped my water bill).
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? One random Tuesday when I was having beer at the Station, this really friendly lady with a big box of stuff came up and invited me to run next week. I was looking for something that included beer/running/socializing, and this fit my schedule perfectly.
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? The $10 off punch card? Sorta. The amazingly witty subject lines to the weekly emails? Maybe. Running, drinking beer and talking current events/politics with my elders (Bill/Dan/Steve/Kevin)? Definitely.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: Last picture I took was of a group of deer that live in my neighborhood. I see groups of them nearly every morning that I run, and it just makes me really happy to see them.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? “People are going to hear you (talk) and assume a lot of things. Don’t worry about it and be yourself.” – My Mama
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? I would love to be able to hear song lyrics once and remember them. The things I do to the chorus of some of my favorite songs is embarrassing.
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: Huge fan of the Pitch Perfect movies. Not ashamed.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? Ran a Ragnar Relay in May with a group of CH friends. Not so much proud of the run as much as the group that I got to be a part of.
Please share your favorite quote or slogan: “I guess if you keep making the same mistake long enough, it becomes your style” – John Prine
Anything else you’d like to share with us?! Too much for one question. I am definitely an over-sharer.
The Pint Cup loves visiting our country's national parks! Look at this amazing panoramic.
Check out that Pint Cup placement! Old Faithful's steam rises up before the geyser explodes!
Epic views and breathtaking scenery - the Station Pub Run Pint Cup really knows how to (get invited on the right) vacation.
Where are you from? Coopersburg, PA (about an hour and a half north of Philly. Near Allentown, like the Billy Joel song.)
How long have you lived in the area? FIVE YEARS holy cow
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? Positive/upbeat, organized, and… umm, supadupafly?
Why do you run? I started running to improve my health, but over time, I came to genuinely love it – for physical health, mental health, and just plain old fun! I continue running because I feel driven to improve, and enjoy testing the limits of how long or fast I can go.
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? I’m easily peer-pressured into running-related things, so Steph barely even had to try to convince me! Also because I enjoy having a shared hobby allow me to meet such kind people with diverse experiences and interests who I might not otherwise have ever gotten to know.
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? I love how community-driven it is – everyone is friendly, there are always updates or people reaching out about races and other things happening in the area. I’ve met so many awesome people who I wouldn’t have ever run into through school or work, and that’s really neat! AND now I have more running buddies.
Describe the most recent (appropriate J) photo you took with your phone: A picture of a pizza I got from the pizza truck last weekend, so that I could send it to a few pizza-lovers and make them jealous!
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? I think the best life advice I’ve gotten was from my mom, years ago, and it was to value my own happiness.
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? Oh man this is tough. I’d love to be able to play classical piano. I took piano lessons as a kid but hated it and stopped once I got to the point where I couldn’t get away with not practicing. As an adult, I regret it! Alternatively, if money wasn’t an option and I could hire someone else who had the skill, I would hire a personal chef.
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: I did karate for years as a child. Sometimes, I really miss it.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? I’m pretty proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone after undergrad and moving to North Carolina for an 8 week summer internship, sight unseen with no real established connections. I met lots of wonderful people and figured out what I wanted to go to grad school for, and now five years later I’m still here!
Please share your favorite quote or slogan: I’ve never been a huge “quotes” person. I have some written down that have really popped out at me over the years, but since they all require me to go back and look at them to remember them, that probably means they aren’t my “favorite”. Slogan… when trying to encourage others (and myself), I usually go with “YOU GOT THIS!” Short, gets the point across, and can be a mental pick-me-up and boost your confidence if you take it to heart and know that someone else believes you can do “it” – whether it’s running, a tough work situation, a big test.
Anything else you’d like to share with us?! Maybe one of my three words should have been “verbose”…
Nothing but culture for this little Pint Cup. It really appreciates the finer things in life.
