Why do you run?
|
I run for fun. I run
marathons for the challenge.

|
|
Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
Realizing at mile 22 in Philly 2010 that I had enough in the
tank was going get to the finish in a new PR.
|
|
|
Why do you pace?
|
I crashed and burned in my first marathon by going out way to
fast. There were no pacers…and I could
have used one. I enjoy helping others
settle in to a comfortable pace early on…and pushing them to their goals at
the end.

Tell us your best
pacing experience.

Pacing Shamrock 2011 in the 3:20 group. We had large group right through 23-24
miles…several of the stronger runners were encouraged to lead out a
little…and the others were brought in with a lot of PR’s and BQ’s.
|
|
|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
To go 3:29:50…ha ha.
Anyone looking to set a PR, BQ, or simply run a 3:30 marathon will
have a solid leader. We’ll run slow
when you want to run fast in the beginning; and we’ll run fast when you want
to run slow at the end. We’ll even
splits from start to finish and we all get there!

|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
Conserve your energy early on…lot’s people like to talk. 3:30 is a tough pace…some small talk is
nice…but conserve, conserve, conserve.
Stay relaxed and loose…and you’ll be strong at the finish.
