I’ve never been able to sit still so running is a great outlet
for me.

|
Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
Finishing Pikes Peak! This
marathon was definitely on my lifetime to-do list and I trained hard but the
highest altitude I was able to train at was 2500 ft. Rounding the corner to the finish shoot was
the best feeling of personal accomplishment.
|
|
|
Why do you pace?
|
I coached a marathon training team for several years in Richmond
and love helping other runners reach their goals- especially first timers.
|
|
|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
|
I’m a newbie although I’ve relied on pacers for many of my
marathons, including my first time qualifying for Boston.
|
|
|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
The camaraderie of a pace group really keeps you going when the
going gets tough. I love helping
others reach their running goals and we’ll have fun along the way!
|
|
|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
I love talking with other runners and sharing our running
experiences and stories along the route- it makes the time fly by!
|
|
|
Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
Marathon race day is like Christmas to me- I love to share that
enthusiasm!
|
|
|
What philanthropic
activities do you have?
|
I volunteer with Girls on the Run, support Stray Rescue, the
Humane Society, am involved with the United Way.
