-how she got into running
-her prioritizing rest/recovery and how that has helped her over the years
-the parts of running that give her value, and what that value is
-intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation
-challenges with moving
-competition, comparison and validation
-North Carolina brewery scene
-her least favorite style of workout
-the 2020 Olympic Trials
-training in 2020
-and much more!
