Why do you run?
|
I’ve been blessed with some talent, great friendships through
running and an unbelievably supportive family and wife. I’ve also lost 74 lbs. since beginning
running in 2000.

Why do you pace?
|
My sister Ann paced me @ my first half marathon in 2001. I shot by hundreds of runners in the last
mile because she kept me relaxed, steady even splits. The feeling of seemingly flying like a jet
for that last mile is something I love to push others to do if I’m able to
keep those I’m pacing at no stress mentally or physically.

pacing experience.

Chicago Half Marathon ’10.
1:30:00 pacer. Group of 14-20
pack of runners and we were going bananas @ the finish line as almost all of
them ran big PR’s.

Anything else you’d
like to share?

Thank all race-day volunteers, the race wouldn’t be much fun at
all if we all had to carry water bottles the entire race.
