Describe your best marathon memory.

 

When I qualified for boston the first time I had attempted 3 times that year and I was extremely frustrated I kept coming up 5 min short. Until I ran my marathon PR 2:55! I swore I was dreaming.

Why do you pace?

 

I love helping other achieve their goals

Tell us your best pacing experience.

 

My first pacing experience was when a friend asked me to pace a half marathon she put together. She asked me to pace a 1:30 half. I told her that was rather aggressive, but she said she knew I could do it. So I did. In that race I helped 4 runner run under 1:30 to this day they still thank me whenever I see them at local races.
