Describe your best marathon memory.


1st NYC marathon and seeing my wife at Central Park turn in , boost a adrenaline!

Why do you pace?


Never done it but feel like every marathon I do im always running at or around the same pace and it would be more fun to run with folks around you for light conversations and motivation.

Tell us your best pacing experience.



Why should someone run in your pace group?


I am friendly , and can offer tips for those running their first marathons . always like to share my tips and experiences.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?


After mile 20, I like to walk the 15-20 meters into the hydration station and then walk the 15-20 meters after you consume you hydration. It acts like a mini-reset for your body
