Why do you run?

To see new things!

Describe your best marathon memory.

After I finished pacing the Colorado Marathon, someone who I had been running with on and off again found me and told me that I was the best pacer ever and that my splits were dead even!

Why do you pace?

To meet new people!

Tell us your best pacing experience.

The best pacing experiences are when runners are able to finish strong with me or sprint finish to end ahead of me! It’s always a special moment when people accomplish things they thought they’d never be able to do.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

For free encouragement, fun conversations, and to reach their goal time. I always have something to say!

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Don't worry if you have to run to the bathroom during the race. I usually do, too, and I have probably already built in time for a potty break.

Anything else you’d like to share?

I’m just happy to be here.

What philanthropic activities do you have?

Sometimes I donate to NH Fish and Game, Nongame division for wildlife conservation. I would like to get involved with Search and Rescue in the future, when I live closer to the mountains.
