To change the outlook of physical activity in the community.

Why do you run?

I run because it is a great stress reliever #1,also I run so I can be a good role model for the students I am trying to persuade to enjoy activity.

Describe your best marathon memory.

Best marathon memory: Air Force Marathon the different aircrafts flying over head, and the pasta dinners are always a treat.

Why do you pace?

I pace because I love helping people achieve their goals as a runner, it gives me pride to say that I helped a handful of people.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

My best pacing experience is hard to pinpoint because they all are successful in some way, but I would say Detroit ’07. I met several amazing people; we all crossed the finish line together.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

You should run in pace group because…I will let you in on a little secret that none of the pacers let you in on ;)

Any tips for runners about to join your group?
