Why do you run?

Its just a hobby I enjoy that has a lot of health and social benefits

Describe your best marathon memory.

Running into Chinatown in LA at my first marathon and locking eyes with an old man. He broke out of his stance, swung his arms, and screamed “RUN LONG HAIR, GOOOOOOO!”. I like to think he blessed me there.

Why do you pace?

Because I enjoy running. Plus, it’s an excuse to help others achieve their goals

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Mile High Run Club always had great people working together to get PRs which was always fun to go and see the improvement

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Nothing special about my group but it’s always easier to run with others.  I’ll get you there

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

I can yap a lot to help mitigate the pain. In all seriousness I’ve been an avid cheerer since middle school for sport teams so get ready for corny one liners!

Remember you paid to do this so have fun!
