Why do you run?
|
That's my social time! I run to relax. I run to find balance in my life. I run to relieve stress. I run because running is my addiction. I run because all my friends run and I have to keep up with them |
|
Describe your best marathon memory.
|
Finishing my very first Marathon and doing 37 minutes better than originally planned! |
|
Why do you pace?
|
I pace for YOUR enjoyment. I enjoy pacing more than running for myself. It is the most rewarding experience EVER. I help, I support, I make a difference to other runners. It is amazing! |
|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
Crossing the finish line with a 5-hour first timer at Albany Marathon, and having non-runner her husband ask me if I will be pacing next year – cause he wants to do it with her too |
|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
Because that's a pretty positive way to achieve their goal. I love to entertain. If you want to get your mind off of the struggle you may experience, and want to laugh a LOT, come run with me. Constant flow of jokes, chatter, and good times. |
|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Relax, and enjoy the journey! |
