Describe your best
marathon memory.
My best marathon memory is The Sunburst Marathon 2008 because it
was the first marathon that I ran a steady pace and qualified for Boston.It was also my first marathon with no pain
afterwards.
Why do you pace?
I like pacing because it allows me to help others achieve their
goals, make new friends, share running experiences and just have fun while
running. Pacing also helps keep me in shape to race my goal marathons.
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
My best pacing experience was at the Snicker’s Marathon 2009
when I helped a couple of female runners qualify for Boston for their first time.
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
You should run in my pace group to have fun while achieving your
goal while being encouraged by the group experience. We will run at a steady pace on the flats
and balance the hills so as to stay on pace.
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
You should try to run relaxed, think positive and just enjoy the
run.
Also communicate with me if you have and questions or concerns
and I will do my best to help you.
