FF: Where are you training right now, and what are you currently training for?
GM: Most of the time Iām in Salt Lake City, Utah and some of the time Iām in Bozeman, Montana. I can't complain about the views.
Track is starting again in the spring, so I'll be focusing on track and possibly some road races. This year is pretty unique because Mountain Championships and VK [vertical kilometer] Championships will be held during the two weeks following the U.S. Outdoor Track Championships. So, right at the end of June and beginning of July I'll be switching disciplines. Iām planning to race the 3,000 meter steeplechase in the U.S. Championships.
FF: Are you still pursuing your Masters of Sustainable Natural Resources?
GM: Yes, I have about one quarter left plus my thesis. Iām getting close!
For my thesis, Iām going to be working with a real estate consulting company about sustainability trends in new housing developments. Iāll look at what people are looking for when it comes to buying houses in those developments and what developments can do to increase sustainability. Itāll be interesting to dive deeper into that.
