A quotation you like…

“Fear the training, not the race”

Why do you run?

I enjoy running to send time with friends that have similar goals, and  I have also enjoyed getting involved with TEAM RWB.  Team RWB  is an organization that connects veterans to our community through friendships and exercise..

Describe your best marathon memory.

My favorite race was my first marathon- Chicago 2011.  There was such crowd support.  It felt like the whole city was cheering for you.  It was a beautiful time of year to see the leaves change and have cooler temperatures.  The course was flat and always new--No out and back in Chicago!

Why do you pace?

I have enjoyed helping to pace my weekly running group.  I thought it would be great to pace during a race and help people meet their goals.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I have experience and am very consistent with my pacing.  I like to chit chat and get to know different people.  It makes the time and miles go by quicker.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Don’t try anything new on marathon day that you have not done in training.  Stay on top of your nutrition and fluids.

Anything else you’d like to share?

After finishing a Marathon in July 2017 in Australia; and the Chicago and Marine Corps Marathon this fall, I am taking a marathon break...until Beijing 2019! I have started to get into triathlon and begun training for my first half ironman.

What philanthropic activities do you have?

I am still an active volunteer at my church and I am the new Community Outreach Director for Daytona Chapter of Team RWB. One of my favorite activities is that we get Christmas wish lists from the Veteran's Nursing home then shop and wrap the gifts to return at a Christmas Party for them.
