Describe your best marathon memory.
|
One of the coolest marathon moments for me was finishing the Grandfather Mountain Marathon in NC. It concludes in this giant outdoor arena where the Scottish games are underway. You circle a dirt track and in the center men in kilts are lifting logs and Scottish dancers are clogging and bagpipes are playing and the stands are filled with fans cheering and screaming. It gave me goosebumps! |

I am getting into pacing because I have met many of my running and marathon goals and I am really looking forward to helping others meet their own dreams. |
