Why do you run?
|
To maintain or become faster as I get older, age group
competition, camaraderie. I enjoy the
journey of running, exploring new roads, trails and destinations. I love the side effects of running: Burns
fat, strengthens the heart, maintains lean muscle mass . ect…

Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
When I turned the last corner at Boston and had I mile to go. The roar and energy of the crowd was
overwhelming.

|
Why do you pace?
|
To inspire and share what I’ve learned being a student of the
sport. I am excited about meeting
people who share the same interest as I do.
I like being part of a group working together to reach our same goal.

Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
Most importantly I will keep us from going out too fast. I love to talk race strategy: hydration, weather, hills, wind (drafting)
efficiency, form, race nutrition, mental toughness. Bring on your questions. We’ll push through
the tough miles at the end together.

Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
I will slow down during water stations but I don’t walk. Avoid prerace
gels, save them for the course. More
than likely it’ll spike your insulin and could cause you to become sluggish. Preferably, do a slow carb-load process
starting 3 days prior and ending with that morning’s breakfast.

|
Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
Don’t worry about the run. You’ve put in the necessary training,
so have a positive expecting mindset. If you can “see” accomplishment happen
beforehand, it will come to pass.
