Why do you run?

Running has taken me to many places and I have met lots of interesting people. It has also helped me mentally heal during tough times.

Describe your best marathon memory.

My favorite memory will always be completing my first marathon. I felt every emotion in that moment. 

Why do you pace?

I love to hear people’s stories and why they run. Being a pacer has allowed me to connect with so many people.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I was pacing and having a tough race. I had only one lady in my pace group that stayed with me the entire race. We both shared stories about running and our lives. She encouraged me as much as I encouraged her. Those experiences are what keep me pacing race after race.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Run with me if you are looking for encouragement and someone to talk about running with.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

I love for people to share their stories as they run with me.
