What brought you to running club: Ran track an XC in hs. I figured this is probs where I'd find my kind of crazy since these people like running too....I was right!
About Mackenzie: Once Upon a time.... long before the days of being an MSU RC member, I ran track at Adams High School where low and behold Michael "Discount" Rettschlag (RIP) also went to school. Apparently it was his first day of practice, and I ran past him while also having a coughing attack (yes, once upon a time I was an ok runner and could do this). Apparently, this almost scared Discount out of running because he thought runners actually run themselves to death.

I find that story hilarious because I did not realize this run had such an impact on him until he joined the club 3 years later. Also RIP Discount, we miss you!
