Describe your best marathon memory.

Why do you pace?

I truly enjoy it. Helping someone achieve a goal is better than any race award I could ever win. |

|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
I paced a 2:00 half marathon group and had a couple people run their first sub 2:00 half. It was incredible! |

|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
We will have fun! I am very high energy and motivational, stick with me and you will achieve your goal! |
||
|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Be realistic about the pace you can run and if you err, do so on caution. It is best to start slow than to go out too fast, you can always pull ahead. |

Anything else you’d like to share? |
Don’t get so focused on pace that you miss the experience, especially in a big city marathon.
