Why do you run?

Running is like therapy for me and has always been a part of my life.

Describe your best marathon memory.

1) My first time running the Boston Marathon and having my whole family there. 2) When Paul Miller helped me jump a fence in order to finish a marathon that was closed down due to heat.

Why do you pace?

I love meeting people, learning their stories, and helping then reach their goals.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

My pacing team helped another runner reach his PR goal. He ran the entire race with us and was very appreciative of our motivation and helping him push “through the wall”.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I will keep your goal at the forefront!.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?
