Road Trippin' across that beautiful country.
Hiking in the New River Gorge with Nate Nelson-Maney.
Another research trip for the Pint Cup, this time to the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
The Pint Cup tagged along on med student Rebecca Rubinstein's research trip to Zanzibar - not a shabby way to spend the summer!
Where are you from? I grew up in a small town outside of Frederick, MD. My high school was surrounded on all four sides by corn fields!
How long have you lived in the area? I moved to Carrboro in summer of 2016 to go to UNC for grad school, and then my husband and I decided to put down roots! We both love it here and have no plans to leave any time soon, even though that was our original plan!
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? Dedicated, energetic, and organized.
Why do you run? It started out as just another form of exercise. Now, it’s a combination of so many things: something I love, a social outlet, cheap therapy/stress relief, a way to push myself out of my comfort zone and try new things, an excuse to travel, something to keep me healthy, and a reason to drink beer on a Tuesday. 😉
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? I was recruited by Melissa Jensen. 🙂 We ran together in the Fleet Feet marathon training program, and she told me about SPR!
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? It’s a great group of people! I also love running in Carrboro, so the routes are a bonus! And, of course, the beer.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: I take a LOT of food pictures, so it’s surprising that my last photo isn’t of something I made/ate. But, it’s a picture of a lovely dirt trail along a creek in Umstead, where I ran on Sunday morning!
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? I have no idea who exactly instilled this value in me, but I’m sure it’s actually been more than one person. “If it doesn’t make you happy, why are you doing it?”
There are plenty in things in life we HAVE to do – pay taxes, do laundry, take our car to the shop, clean our shower (anyone else hate that?) – that aren’t super fun. The choices we can make, like what we do for a living, the people we surround ourselves with, the things we do in our free time; these should be things that genuinely bring us joy. Otherwise, why are you doing them? Get rid of the bad energy and choose happy!
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? 100% it would be teleportation. Imagine being able to go to Italy for a weekend with no travel time or costs!
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: I studied abroad in Russia in 2010, and now I’m really judgy on vodka.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? I graduated from UNC with my Master of Public Health in December and passed my exam to become a Registered Dietitian in February!

Where are you from? I hail from a small township outside of Cleveland, OH called Bainbridge.
How long have you lived in the area? ~42 million seconds (it’s legit)
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? Pain in ass (but in the best way possible).
Why do you run? I find it calming.
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? I felt it would be unjust of me to enjoy the appetizers of the fancy night out as merely the pub run’s bartender. So I decided to run (with the weekend Purple Bowl group).
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? Makin' that cash.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: It is a sunny afternoon and we are standing in our front yard. My brother-in law is shading himself with a turquoise umbrella that has a cartoon print of cats around the rim. He is holding porcelain china in his hand and my jawless derpy dachshund is standing on our porch in the background.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do twice - my father.
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? Tap dance? maybe?
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: When I hear people say, ‘it is what it is,’ I want to smack them in the face. Say that next time you win the lottery.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? Get a poem published in a children’s journal!

Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? Rebecca Rubenstein told me to join and I fell in love with the group!
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? I really like the people! Having a consistent group of people that I see every Tuesday really helps motivate me to keep running! It’s also a really great break from being a student.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: I went to a concert and I took a picture of the band playing on stage! It was the Mowgli’s.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? If you were able to do everything from the very beginning, nothing would be fun or rewarding! – Kelly Olsen in regard to me being bad at rock climbing.
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 be fluent in every language, communication is so important and being able to communicate with anyone would be really awesome!
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: Most of my family didn’t recognize me with my beard. I grew it when I moved down to Chapel Hill and my extended family didn’t recognize me. They thought my family had picked up a drifter on the way…
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? This was around a year and a half ago, but I ran my first half marathon in 1:31:55!
