How long have you lived in the area? 2.5 years 
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? Dorky, profane, hungry
Why do you run? To socialize, to stay fit, to justify my love of potato chips.
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? My friends from the DRG (Doug’s Running Group) were doing it, and I followed them.
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? Winning all those raffles (jk lol)! For real, it’s all of the friends I’ve made.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: I took a picture of my homemade crispy tofu with broccoli. It’s very sexy for a vegan dish.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? “Just sign up for the full. The half will be too easy.” – Anne Mandeville-Long
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’d like to be able to make anyone laugh on command.
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: I have a phobia of stickers and wet paper. That is why I will never carry a route on a run, unless I take a picture of it with my phone.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? I convinced a group of people to sign up for a 50k in the mountains! Then I did the thing. The convincing part was what made me most proud, though, because I am an introvert.
Please share your favorite quote or slogan: “Dare to be legendary today!!!!!”
Anything else you’d like to share with us?! Thank you to Steph for organizing this wonderful group. It is truly the highlight of my week.
Where are you from? Pittsburgh, PA
How long have you lived in the area? 9 Months!
What are three words your friends would use to describe you? Honest (sometimes brutally), enthusiastic, determined.
Why do you run? Running gives me something to focus on outside of grad school which is nice. I also love Carrboro and running gives me an excuse to explore.
Why did you decide to join the Station Pub Run? I was encouraged by other med students. I had never run before joining Station Pub Run and I love it!
What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? Med school can be pretty socially isolating and I love meeting people outside of school.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: My boyfriend and I went hiking at Hanging Rock. He brought along a water filtration system for a three mile hike so I took a picture of him filling up his fancy filtering water bottle in the stream to make fun of him.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? “If there’s only one person in your life who’s a jerk, they are probably a jerk. If everyone in your life is a jerk, you are probably a jerk.” - I don’t remember who told me this
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 really good at skiing. Skiing looks fun but it’s expensive and hard to get to a place where you can do stuff without fear of death.
Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: Not many people in Pub Run know that I do stand up comedy and perform with Eyes Up Here comedy!
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? I ran my first half marathon!

What is your favorite thing about the Station Pub Run? I'm not a big fan of the word community, but I have to say that is my favorite thing. Again, thank you, Steph, for creating this running community out of nothing. The runners/walkers (humans and dogs) who come each week are also lovely. I've met great people and had time to connect with my fave run buds.
Describe the most recent (appropriate 🙂 ) photo you took with your phone: A few days ago, I snapped a pick of my little guy, Peanut, in his green frog raincoat and sent it to his aunt, who lives out of state.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received, and who gave it to you? My sister offered this nugget of wisdom several years ago: “Life by the yard is hard, Life by the inch is a cinch.” Corny, but it's so true.

Tell us something about yourself that not many people know: I'm vegan and have been for three-ish years. Love it.
What is something you have done recently, or are about to do, that you are proud of? I defended my dissertation several years ago and remain proud of doing so. It is still the hardest thing I've done.
Please share your favorite quote or slogan: I don't have the quote, so I'll to paraphrase. In his memoir on writing, which is called On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, Stephen King offers great advice about writing and procrastination. Basically, he says that you cannot wait for the muse to find you. You have to have a set schedule so that the muse knows exactly where to find you. So, in a nutshell, treat writing like a job with a set schedule, place of work, and so forth, and good things will happen at some point.
The Pint Cup spent the winter months doing ALL the winter sports, including snowshoeing in Vermont!
The Pint Cup may have gone skiing off a ledge with Tom and got injured. No running for the Pint Cup for a while.
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!
In sight of the highest point in Spain, on the Canary Islands!
Some badass Station Pub Run Pint Cups went to run the Zion 50k. The cups let these runners tag along, for photo ops only.
