First order of business: are you OK, physically? It looked bad and I was feeling torn on whether to post the video until I heard the reporter say you were smiling and laughing. Did you go to the hospital or doctor or anything?
My neck was a little sore but the ridiculous, awesome irony of the situation cushioned the blow pretty well.

Were you conscious of the cameras trained on you? What were your thoughts immediately after it happened?
I was actually mid-sentence commenting on how awkward the whole thing was when I went down. The whole sequence was just too perfect.

You've expressed some regret as to how you came off in the interview which, if we're being fair, is part of the reason the video is so great. You seemed almost...enraptured with the idea of running in the snow. You attribute it to the awkwardness of the whole situation, so how did this all happen?
We ran by this reporter and cameraman who looked like they'd been stuck waiting for something to happen for a while. Given that there were actual cross country skiers in the streets and even a few hardcore cyclists, a pair of runners was probably pretty lame. But maybe we were just the only people who stopped when they called after us.
As for the interview part, I think we both got so serious in front of the camera because we didn't know what to say beyond the obvious fact that it's just fun to play in snow. Apparently that came across as unbearably smug to a lot of people though. We probably should've just yelled WHEEEEE!!! and then somersaulted down the hill.

There are few things in life that give me more joy than people falling down.
This just made my monday, thank you for sharing.

(by the way, karma has a way of catching up to me, and I have my fair share of falls as well.)

Somehow she comes off smug while saying she was embarrassed for coming off smug.

LOL

Had to watch again. Funny

I am starting to think this society has an ingrained bias against people who articulate things well. I mean why do we think what she said is smug? Why is what she is saying annoying? I don't get it!

Even I thought she was smug! But we shouldn't! She specifically said why she thought it was a good night to run and imparted actual information. Better than people who say um, like, or speak in useless cliches.

She is pretty cute.
