US: What is the biggest risk you’ve ever taken?

US: What is your personal motto for life?

US: What is your biggest fear?
Kite: Spiders. All the spiders here are kind of scary.
US: Do you have any pet peeves?
Kite: A lot, actually. One of them is that I hate tags in shirts. I go up to people I don’t even know and stick their tags back in their shirts.
US: Have you ever had any serious injuries?
Kite: I almost broke my butt once. I was 13 and it was the only time we’d ever got snow in Tennessee. I was so excited, I was running around the house and I slipped and fell on the stairs.
US: What did you eat for breakfast today?
Kite: I had chocolate Easter candy and peanut butter. I eat chocolate and peanut butter pretty much everyday because I like both and I never grocery shop.

Kite: I used to have tons ’til my rottweiler ate them all. Now I probably have 10 pairs. Three of them are running shoes.
US: Are you the kind of person who takes the stairs or the elevator?
Kite: The stairs. Elevators are only for handicapped people.
US: If you could have a one-year supply of anything what would you choose?
Kite: Peanut butter. Actually, I think I already have a one year supply.
US: When eating, how do you feel about your food touching?
Kite: Real breakfast food like pancakes or eggs, they cannot touch, but anything else is OK.
US: Describe the best day of your life?
Kite: When I walked out of high school and knew I never had to go back.
US: If you could be famous for one thing, what would it be?
Kite: Winning the Boston Marathon. I have a goal that my kids are going to run it and win. I need to find myself a Kenyan, get some of that Kenyan blood in there.
US: Have you ever ran a marathon?
Kite: I trained for one, but then my friends decided to go to the Bahamas. I had to choose, marathon or Bahamas? I choose the Bahamas. I’m going to run the Top of Utah though. -amcconkie@cc.usu.edu
