Welcome to our first Team Teen Tuesday blog post! Each Tuesday, Team Teen will highlight a runner in our blog for an opportunity for each of us to get to know that runner a little better. Some of the questions may be a little off the wall, however they are all meant to be fun!! So, grab your cup of coffee and let’s kick this week off with TT runner Jonathan Nieto.
Jonathan at the Bearkat Bash 2009
Jonathan has been a runner with Team Teen since September 2008. A few things you should know about Jonathan are that he is ALWAYS (well, except for one time) the first one to arrive at our meeting spot on race morning, AND he lives the furthest away. He is a man of few words, however he is ALWAYS (well, except for one time) the first one to cross the finish line out of our group in the races. Most times he comes in around 27-28 minutes for the 3.1 miles. I call him the speedster. He just smiles. If I had a dollar for every time he crossed the finish line and said “I am seeing black spots” or “I think I need to throw up” from pushing it so hard, I could literally pay for a race. Jonathan attends EVERY race and always gives each one his best. So, here we go with Jonathan Nieto!!
