My greatest passion besides running is learning. I'm ever curious, often reading up on a new subject, putting another experience on my bucket list, adding another book to my reading list -- especially if it involves a good debate. I like to exercise my intellectual muscles as well as my physical ones. Take me to a new play, or an opera (I went to my first live opera this year and loved every minute of it), or a concert of music I've never heard before. I might not like it, but I'll be glad I went.
