“Change can be uncomfortable, but so is staying the same.”

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
Mile 20 in my first marathon, I was running through a neighborhood when I saw a woman holding a “YOU’RE DOING IT!” sign. It snapped me out of my daze and I realized “WOW! I REALLY AM DOING THIS!” Best feeling ever. |
||
Why do you pace?
|
I like responsibility, enjoy meeting new people, LOVE encouraging people, and because it is a privilege! |
||
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
Running with Mike Kayatin’s pace group in Akron 2013. A great group of runners sharing stories and having fun on the perfect fall day for a run. |
||
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
Because I am crazy about consistency, ridiculously enthusiastic, and I am a nurse so I won’t let you die out there! |
||
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Trust your training and know that I cannot wait to meet you. You are already a Rock Star in my mind! |
||
Anything else you’d like to share? |
If you had told me 5 years ago I would run a full marathon I would not have believed you. You never know what you can do until you start pushing boundaries!
