A quotation you like…

“If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.” -Fred DeVito

Why do you run?

Nothing clears my head and relieves my stress more than running. I do my best thinking when I am on a long run. In my opinion, it is the best way to check out a new area and take in the scenery.

Describe your best marathon memory.

Running with family members is always enjoyable; especially when you get to train and run a marathon with them. I ran the Columbus Marathon with my cousin and mom and PR’ed with them along my side.

Why do you pace?

Running a marathon can be an emotional rollercoaster. I enjoy coaching and motivating people through their journey to the finish line.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Seeing the enjoyment of people who have worked so hard and reached the goal they set out to achieve.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I will get you to the finish line on time! We will run together, share stories, and all work toward the same goal.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Relax and have fun. I will worry about the pace!

Anything else you’d like to share?

Hopefully we meet again at our next marathon.
