Why do you run?
|
I started running in high school and continued competitively in college but put too much pressure on myself and ended up leaving the team. A year later, a friend convinced me to sign up for the Harrisburg marathon less than a month out, and my love for the marathon distance was born. |

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
I introduced myself to another runner at mile 2 of the Philly Marathon and we stuck together for 20 miles! We both PR’d that day and are running NYC together this fall |

|
Why do you pace?
|
Reaching personal goals is satisfying, but nothing beats seeing other runners achieve their goals or witnessing first-time marathoners cross the finish line |
||
|
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
I recently paced the Shamrock Marathon, and I had a group of 15-20 runners who stayed with me the entire time! One was even dressed like a leprechaun |

|
Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
Usually marathons have post-race parties, but why not have a party during the race? When you join my pace group, brace yourself for 26.2 miles of FUN! |
||
|
Any tips for runners about to join your group?
|
Relax and don’t take yourself too seriously 😊 |
