Why do you run?
|
I run for fitness, to surround myself with positive people, for the obvious social connections, and to serve as an example for my son. |

|
Describe your best marathon memory.
|
I have many! Running up Heartbreak Hill (Boston Marathon, 2014) and having a spectator tell me… “Meb won!” Running across the 59th St Bridge (NYC Marathon, 2017) and learning via text then announcing to everyone within earshot, “Shalane won!” |
||
|
Why do you pace?
|
I enjoy helping others reach their goals, I have a knack for motivating other with logic, talking people through tough situations and employing humor as a distraction. |
||
|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
I have paced friends in races from 5k to marathons – the thanks I receive when we reach the finish line in the right amount of time is fantastic! People find me years later at other events and say, “You were my pacer and I got a great time that day!” |

Why should someone run in your pace group?

If you want to enjoy your experience and cross the finish line with a smile and a goal accomplished ~ I’ll provide timely advice, encouragement and laughs for the 26.2 miles you’ve chosen to run. |

|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
We are going to get the goal time and have fun doing it! Come with a willingness to give in proportion to what you’ve trained for and to grow as an athlete. Each race is either a PR or a lesson. |
