Probably last weekend, the heats at the World Indoor Champs over 3000m. I felt awesome, I just wish I aced the final too! |

Best thing about being an athlete? |

So many great things. The fact that training is my 'job' (sleeping too!). Getting to race around the world against the best in the world. Being free to chase your dreams. |

Weakness?
|
|
There are quite a few, but my number one would be that I tend to think that more is better, no matter what it is! It is hard to be smart and back down on workouts or miles when needed or to cut back on eating when tapering. I am good at doing a little extra of things but holding back is definitely a weakness. |

Favorite book?
|
|
Recently I would have to say the Kite Runner, but overall I would say Pride and Prejudice. I am a huge Jane Austen fan and have read the book a bunch on times.

|
Favorite movie? |
|
I can't say that I have a favorite. I love to watch sad movies, and I usually cry during them...

How do Solo bars impact your training and performance? |
|
I love SoLo bars because it is a small, easy snack that gives me lasting energy without the spike and crash that some high sugar bars have. I keep a few bars in my desk at work, car and in my track bag so that I can have a healthy pick-me-up when I need it or to have right after a workout. |

|
|
Any words of wisdom?
|
|
Love it, all of it. There are so many ups and downs in sport and life and you really have to love all of the good times as well as the down times to make it at any level. |
