#(but I'm so glad I got invested in as a serious recreational/intermediate runner)

4. crunch peanut butter or smooth peanut butter?

I'm mostly fan of the neither, since I didn't grow up eating peanut butter regularly (peanut butter and jam sandwiches weren't really my typical lunch during my school years, let me put it that way). The only time I would eat peanut butter nowadays is whenever bagels and peanut butter spreads would be offered after the race (10K or more) and I'm famished for carbs and energy. I always have gravitated towards crunch peanut butter due to more interesting texture. I just have a strong preference when it comes to the contrasting textures (the stickiness of the butter and the hardness of the peanut pieces) and that pretty much goes for all the other foods as well.

11. vacation or staycation?

If such circumstance allows, vacation all the way! Since my work puts a huge limitation on when I can travel and the duration of days that I can travel, whenever I can get a chunk of a week off to myself, I will often be the travel planner for my family. I do enjoy researching and looking into restaurants and museums, because I'm foremost an art lover and a foodie. Huge bonus points if I get to travel and run like what I did in Chicago, as I ran Chicago Marathon this year in October. I also plan to travel to Germany next year so I can do Berlin Marathon and hit Oktoberfest afterwards.

23. board games or video games?

Neither! I don't really like either of them, except the ones which I can play on my PC. I used to play Lost Ark and Diablo IV when it came out, but as always, I tend to go all in for a short time and get hugely invested and passionate, but then I quickly lose interest once I hit certain levels with the character(s) I'm only interested in playing. If anything involves games, I would rather play cards with my family (it is a family tradition at this point), or simply workout at the gym I go to and tackle benchmarks so I can better myself fitness-wise.

42. win the lottery or land your dream job?

Despite certain drawbacks of my work (after all, all professions have their pros and cons), I absolutely love what I do (I am an art teacher at a private Montessori school) and will continue to do what I am exceptionally good at. I would really like to win the lottery so I can financially support myself to run all six Abbott Major Marathons, which are Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, London, and Tokyo.
