Twin Cities in Motion does a neat 20-question interview with people, so I decided to answer it:
1. Name: David Kolfax
2. Age: masters division (“masters” implies a degree of competency, but actually means “old.”)
3. City: western TC suburbs
4. Profession: middle management
5. When (or why) you started running: I’m in a vicious battle against Old Age, which I will eventually lose, but it’s nice to be ahead at least for awhile.
6. Best Run/Running Experience: Had a personal best time by over 2 minutes in a local 5k . . .
7. Worst Run/Running Experience: (continued from no. 6) . . . and still ended up fourth out of five in my age group.
8. Dream Training Partner: someone I can keep up with
9. Training Shoe: it’s worth getting actual running shoes.
10. Favorite Running Route: trails with no vehicle traffic
11. Favorite time of Day to run: get up, pee, have a cup of coffee, pee, and go out running
12. Pre-Race Food: nothing – can’t run after eating
13. Post-Race Food: bananas and Cheerios
14. Favorite Running Accessory: once in awhile, take my camera along
15. Current or Future Goal: would like to run a high-altitude race in Colorado
16. Upcoming Race: this year a mix of 5ks, 10ks, 10-miles, and a half marathon.
17. Favorite non-running activities: writing this blog
18. Mode of Transportation: why, running, of course, and sometimes walking.
19. Pump up Music: No music while running – I need to hear what’s around me so I don’t get run over.
20. Advice for a Brand New Runner: Running is cheap and convenient. Most people can simply step outside their door and start running, and other than having a decent pair of shoes, you don’t really need to spend much more unless you choose to. You can also make it as serious or casual as you want, and sometimes participate in the same events as elite runners and out-of-their-element couch potatoes.
