Why do you run?

It keeps me in shape, postponing genetically-based health issues.  It also gives me opportunities to discover more about myself, what I can do even though my body tells me I can't.


 

Describe your best marathon memory.

Finishing USAF Marathon with a PR, holding the hand of my six-year old son.


 

Why do you pace?

I want to give back to a sport that has given me so much.

 

Tell us your best pacing experience.

tossing electrolyte capsules to a couple hurting runners who weren't in my pace group.


 

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I won't call myself a great pacer, but I keep trying.  I try hard to get everybody to the finish line in their time by offering a steady pace, advise for the course, and suggestions for water stops.


 

Any tips for runners about to join your group.

A great pacer and pack won't get you to your goal if you don't train!


 

Anything else you'd like to share?

I am the race director of a 50k race (www.StoneSteps50k.com) and a 5k in Cincinnati.  I want to give back to the sport, and directing a couple races is another way I can do that.
