A quotation you like… |
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day,
or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its
place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
My first marathon was the 2012 New Jersey marathon. Pacer Pete went along for support and guidance. He provided me with advice and tips which helped me run a great marathon debut. I went to this race just with the goal of finishing. I ran most of the race with the 3:10 and then the 3:05 pace groups, which really helped. I broke away from the 3:05 pace group around mile 18 and had moved my way up to 2nd overall female. Mile 20 I felt great and picked up the pace. By mile 22 I saw the first place female and passed her by mile 23 and never looked back! I crossed the finish line winning the New Jersey Marathon and with a time of 2:59:48. |

I pace to encourage others to achieve their goals and to give back to the sport I grew up knowing and loving. |

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Harrisburg Half- I had a guy stay with the whole race until the last mile and we were pacing everyone on the second half of the race. He was so grateful for the pace group. and several others came up to me and thanked me for the help. |

Why should someone run in your pace group?
