Describe your best marathon memory.

Helping a friend run a marathon and I started complimenting the bystanders and one of them said they thought I was delirious. Could have been because it was mile 24, I was skipping, and yelled that they  (a couple) looked MARVELOUS!

Why do you pace?

I like to see the happiness in someones face when they have achieved what they thought was unachievable. Priceless.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

The Albany Marathon in 2010

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Running should be fun and I would like to PROVE that!! I talk a lot and tend to get a little crazy during a run.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Never say never, we can do this!
