Why do you run?
|
To stay
fit and for the social aspect - we laugh a lot out there. It is also
“my time” in the day, no interruptions. I love to watch the sunrise on
an early morning run.

Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
Finishing
my first marathon (Richmond VA); I was hooked after that
|
|
|
Why do you pace?
|
I like the
personal satisfaction from helping others achieve their goals. It also
gives me a chance to see new venues.

|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.

Pittsburgh
Marathon 2008, where I helped several people complete their first marathon AND
came within 3 seconds of a perfect finish.

Why should
someone run in your pace group?
|
We work
together - - there is strength in numbers! Also, there is often plenty
of conversation which can make the miles pass more quickly. I use my pace sign to prod lagging runners
(just kidding). I will lock in the
pace early on and take that burden off of you, and get you to the finish line
on time.

|
Any tips for
runners about to join your group?
|
Don’t be
shy, jump in and introduce yourself and tell me your goal for the day.
|
|
|
Anything else you'd like to share?
|
I signed
up for my first marathon after discussing it over lots (and lots) of wine at
a wedding. I ran my first marathon at age 40.
