Why do you run?
|
To stay in good cardiovascular conditioning and maintain my
weight at 136 pounds. I love the rush that comes from racing marathons
|
|
|
Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
Still qualifying for the Boston
marathon after spending 3 minutes in a portapotty 12 miles into the race ! My
friends had left me and I was all alone for the last half of the race. I ran
a negative split and crossed the line 41 seconds under goal time.
|
|
|
Why do you pace?
|
To give back to the running community. “ Because I have been
given much, I too must give”
|
|
|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
|
In October 2010, I was
the 1:35 pacer in the Halloween half marathon. I came in within 10 seconds of
the time and still placed 3rd in my age group. I Led a large group
of runners down steep hills past Sundance ski resort in Utah

|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
I can talk and run at the same time. I can give some running
advice to you while you run that will help you in future races.
|
|
|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
Relax and let me do the work. I pace so you can race !
|
|
|
Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
Running has given me a tremendous amount of self confidence. I
want new runners to feel the same excitement that I feel about marathon
running.
|
|
|
What philanthropic
activities do you have?
|
I have developed a three part powerpoint presentation on
marathon running and overnight relay running that I have presented free of
charge several times over the last two years at running stores.
