Running Confessions: Jennifer Carpenter

Dexter star Jennifer Carpenter confesses her running secrets. . .

WEIRDEST RUNNING MOMENT

“I was on Sunset Boulevard when I tripped on a pothole and fell. My knee started bleeding, so I flagged down this woman–a total stranger– and asked her to give me a lift. She had a really fancy, expensive car, but inside it was covered in Cheetos, all over the  oor and seats. It was disgusting. So I hopped out early and limped home.”

SCARIEST THING SEEN ON A RUN

“I almost ran over a live coiled up rattlesnake in Runyon Canyon Park in LA.”

ACTOR YOU’D LOVE TO RUN WITH

“Peter Sarsgaard is writing and directing the  lm adaption of Christopher McDougall’s best-selling book Born to Run. I’d love to hit the trails with him some time.”

FAVE AWESOMELY-BAD WORKOUT SONG

“I love old-school Britney Spears, especially ‘Toxic’. I’m listening to it right now in my head. I like running to music when I know all the words.”
