I like dirt.
I like the trees and wildlife, they keep me distracted from my lungs and heart.
I think that if I don't come home bloody I didn't try hard enough.
Rocks in my shoes don't bother me.
I run in ridiculously cold weather.
I would rather run in the snow than in windy conditions.
I bring more water than I need.
I usually have enough food with me to feed an army.
I can squat a house and run up the side of one too.
I like mountain biking but I feel guilty when I'm riding because I'm not working hard enough.
I own, on average, more than 4 pairs of running shoes and I'm looking for the next pair.
I own every hydration method known to man.
I love it when I tell people about a race or run and they say "that's crazy".
I laugh at grumpy drivers that drive closer than they should because they're fat.
I'll probably get leathery skin.
I'll probably live forever (something about running Barr trail on the lightly traveled sections that calms the soul)
I usually smell when I'm in Manitou Springs.
I carry Nuuns and Sharkies in my laptop bag and car.
I'll "take a duke" or pee almost anywhere (don't judge)
I'll always have Fritos if I'm going above tree line.
I run with nuts just like me.

I am a trail runner.
