An interesting fact about me is that I taught myself the guitar.
Â
My running superstition is to lay out my uniform and warmups the night before a race.

Â
If I could run with three people, living or dead, I would run with Cole Hocker, Tiger Woods, and my friend Spencer.
Â
When I am not running, I am either playing golf, playing guitar, or riding my bike.
