Why do you run?
|
It started as weight losing strategy but soon developed to meditation and self-awareness. Running allowed me to find an internal joy I didn’t know I had! |

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
My first time pacing in Rome-Marathon in 2021. Rome has always been my favorite city, Running it as a pacer and helping others to achieve their goal, escorted by other 3 wonderful and experienced Italian pacers. |
||
|
Why do you pace?
|
It gives meaning to me. Running is fun, but putting myself on the line of duty with other people trusting me to lead them to the finish line, gives me a rush of endorphins and uncontained joy! |

|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
Definitely London marathon. I had Gary Dickson, an experienced British pacer, as my Captain. I learned a lot of him and felt strong and confident during every step of the marathon. |
||
|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
Because I am a strong, disciplined, positive, cheerful and happy person who will motivate you to seek and find force inside your heart when your brain is screaming there is no more force left. I speak 3 languages (Spanish, Norwegian and English) |
||
|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
We are not fast runners, but we are patient and steady runners. A big smile and a positive attitude will empower your legs! |

|
