Why do you run?
|
I run because it feels good. I enjoy the feeling of being strong and doing what most people can’t or won’t I also do some of my best thinking while running. I race because I like competition and pushing myself to be better than before or just to get the most out of myself on the day. |

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
My best marathon memory is the 2016 Boston Marathon. It was my 3rd time running and the one I finally got right. I ran a perfect race passing many runners the last few miles. |

|
Why do you pace?
|
I pace because it is fun, and I enjoy getting people to the finish line while meeting their goals. It is so satisfying when runners thank me after the race. I’ve even had people thank me who weren’t running with a group but could see me ahead of them. |

|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
My best pacing experience was the 2025 Garden Spot Half Marathon. Pacing the 1:50 group, we had good conversation and I had several runners make it in with me. |

|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
If you are looking to run a time goal, I will get you there. I love talking to runners and swapping stories while we run. I also love sharing my knowledge of running and coaching runners through the course. |
||
|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Be ready to have a fun run! Don’t be a slave to your watch. While I strive for even pacing on flat courses, if it is hilly, I run by effort keeping the uphills a little slower and the downhills a little faster. |
||
|
Anything else you’d like to share? |
I love running races. Running takes me all over and I enjoy exploring the places I go to.
