Why do you run: Health, enjoyment and friends.
Describe your best Marathon story: The first time I ran a marathon was in 2019. It was the Walt Disney World marathon. I was very nervous and trained very hard and I was worried I was not going to be able to finish it. I went out slower thanks to the advice of Coach Jeff Galloway from runDisney. I was able to enjoy my first marathon and run faster than I expected. If you have fun you will always do your best.
Why should someone run in your pace group: I have fun running with other people and I will encourage the runners around me to do their best not necessarily look for one runner to beat another. When I run I compete against myself and I believe every runner should look at running in the same manner.
Any tips for runners about to join your group: Have fun running is a great sport and everyone is very supportive if you enjoy what you are doing you will always be successful.
