Ba-AM -- Who likes their bio!?

Good news, I've taken it upon myself to draft everyone's bios and they are good. These are still in draft form, and include a short questionnaire that I thought might be fun -- you guys have to fill that portion out though.

I don't have access to everyone's profiles so if you approve, you can add it to your "about me" section of your profile. Feel free to edit as you see fit.

Lauren:
LAR?!?! Yes, Lar! Lar is the training nazi in the group and when the team is in “V formation,” you’ll see her leading the pack -- particularly because she’s the only one who sets a pleasant running pace (a position in the “V” that Rach and Katie are NOT allowed to take). She’s likely never flaked out on a run and trains the most diligently out of the group.


When she’s not running – which won’t be very much these days, now that we’re thinking about a full marathon – you can find her hanging out with her dog Stacey (her namesake is indeed “the Stacey” on Team Flying V.), eating a bagel (yep I went there!), yelling at Stoo while playing Rock Band or offering the latest weather report via NOAA – the only accurate source for weather forecasts.

Stacey:
Dr. Stacey is the most patriotic one out of the group and appreciates a good necktie. She’s also been assigned to act as the team doctor, as she partakes in freelance PT when needed.


When Stace isn’t appreciating a good hill run that Lar mapped out, you can find her spending time on “the island,” complementing someone on their tie, driving to south Seattle or listening to Christmas music in her Gamecock t-shirt and hat.

Rach:
Rach, aka the running speed demon, is currently not allowed to lead any training runs or the “flying V” formation per Lar’s ruling. She’s also the organizer of our current training plan, which we’ve coined the BBC regime.


Rach hates large herds of rude runners and in her free time you can find her hanging out with the bums in Ballard, celebrating cat Fridays, talking on “Zack Morris” cell phones and sprinting.

Lindsey:
Linds isn’t a team player and chooses not to run with the team during races (though that means she’s usually got a prime viewing spot at the finish line to watch Katie chalk up a barf). Even though we don’t see Linds during races, she’s always up to jog with the team for long runs on Saturdays.


When Linds isn’t trying to shave off precious minutes on her half marathon time, you can find her brushing up on the “culture” of the local police department, talking to people she doesn’t know (She already has five friends, she doesn’t need six.), acting as the point of contact for safety and fire situations, using one of the following approved statements:
** "No"
** "I’m not sure, let me ask my friends"
** XX (can anyone remember the other things she was allowed to say?)
OR ignoring team phone calls and emails.
