Why do you run?

For health and well-being in all aspects of life- physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritulally.

Describe your best marathon memory.

My best memory is completing any marathon I have started.  Though one memory that sticks out is the Disney Marathon, which was the last event of the Dopey Challenge I was participating in.  My friend and I got a glass of champagne with a mile to go and finished the run with a toast to how amazing we are.

Why do you pace?

It is rewarding to help others achieve their goals as well as challenging to stay on target.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I was a runner pacing with a group in the Disney marathon and enjoyed the pace and the experience with others in the group.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I take pacing very seriously, to hit the target time. I can share information about where we are running because I am from Chattanooga.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Be ready to have a great time.
