Here are my answers to 11 running questions:


1. What time of day do you run?

Usually after work around 5:00 pm to 5:30pm week days. I have been doing Long Runs on Sunday morning lately to get into race day practice but have been known to do them Fiday or Wednesday night.

2. What are your favourite runs?

I only run a few different courses but running from Newstead to the City by the river is lovely. Luckily 80% of my running is done there.

3. What is your favorite song to run to?

That's an impossible question to answer. So many favourites. I have been mostly listening to new music lately while running. I have found I can listen to any style and enjoy it.

"The Search for the Dice Man" by Luke Rhinehart.

6. What's your post-race/post-run ritual?
