His pick: Wave
“Huge fan of a quick wave. You never know how impactful it is for someone. It can change someone’s day.”
His pick: PR
“There’s no better feeling than training hard and seeing a PR on the clock. It’s surreal.”
His pick: Bright

His pick: Toe
“ I stay on my toes. That’s what my coach taught me when I first started. It builds speed and true strength.”
His pick: Calves
“I love my calves. They are always achy because I run on my toes, so not sure if they love me back.”
His pick: GPS
“ I need GPS. It helps show me where I’m going and how to get back to my car.”
His pick: Strong
“Strength is one characteristic everyone should want to have in their lives, and always be looking to become stronger.”
