Personal goals

Under 4 hr. marathon

Why do you run?

It makes everything seem better.  I always feel I conquer the world’s problems while I am running….It takes a couple hours for things to get mucked up again.

Describe your best marathon memory.

At the Disney Marathon a runner was running a similar pace to mine but he was juggling.

Why do you pace?

Because I want to give back some of what my mentors gave me, knowledge, experience, fun times and motivation

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I will try and make your experience memorable and motivate you to meet your goal. 

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Get ready to have fun…and hang tough
