Why do you run?

 

There’s a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness’

There’s just nothing like seeing someone meet or even better exceed their goals.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

 

In 2011 I ran the New Orleans Mardi Gras Marathon withUltra Marathon Runner Scott Jurek as my pacer…unbelievable experience!  Ask me about it the next time we run.

Believe in yourself and trust in the training you’ve put it.
