Enjoy the Journey

Why do you run?

It makes me feel good and I enjoy time with other runners out on the trails.

Describe your best marathon memory.

Running LA Marathon was such a fun experience. The party atmosphere and always having people running with you. There were bands every few miles along the course, the people cheering you along the way, and all the different districts you get to run through. It made the miles fly by! The finish line was at the Santa Monica Pier and that was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

Why do you pace?

I enjoy getting to know the runners, helping them achieve their goal and helping them finish.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I have helped so many people finish races and have a new PR. Each experience is my favorite

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I will keep you going, stay positive and not give up on you!

Any tips for runners about to join your group?
