15. Describe one of your happiest moments.
Graduating from Graduate school the day before I watched Ed graduate from Law School. In all the races I’ve run, all the great moments my life has held, I will NEVER forget the feeling of that weekend. The relief of having made it through, the excitement of finally feeling like we could start our life, it was overwhelming in a good way. Plus, the fact that we accomplished something so huge and daunting at the same time, together and survived!

16. What was your best Halloween costume?

I worked at a beauty retail and salon place and all the girls dressed up as a hair product, this was the time before digital cameras and I don’t’ have a scanner right now so can’t show the pictures. But I was TiGi Spiker, and IT ROCKED! It took three days to get all the gunk out of my spiked up hair (and it was long then).

17. What do you have an addiction to?
Google.

18. What do you do that you would be embarrassed for others to know about?

Tumors and Calves (as in the leg muscle calves).

20. Do you have a favorite training tip?
Invest in Physical Therapy if needed, and get a deep tissue massage every few months.

21. What's your most embarrassing moment?
Accidentally ordering 12 POUNDS of sausage (de-cased and re-wrapped for me) at a local butcher shop instead of 12 ounces, paying well over $50 for it, getting in my car and turning around to take it back. IDIOT ALERT. I will NEVER live that one down in my family… please note I did that at age 26. Yeahhhh……

22. (my question addition) What is a little known fact about you?
I never really crave chocolate, but I do crave beef. Seriously.
