Why do you run?

There’s something thrilling about that heart-pounding, sweat in your eyeballs, legs on fire feeling. This sport has given me incredible memories and helped me meet the best friends!

Describe your best marathon memory.

Pittsburgh Marathon 2016 – My best friends and I ran hundreds of miles of together during training, and we celebrated our work with finish-line beers and Primanti Brothers sandwiches.

Why do you pace?

I run for myself. Pacing is my opportunity to make it about others.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I’ve got a lot of jokes!
