Why do you run?
|
It’s one of the better aspects of life where the output/result has a measurable, direct and satisfying correlation with the preparation and focus you put in. |
||
Describe your best marathon memory.
|
Breaking under 3 hours for the first time in Cincinnati, as it was a “lifetime” goal I was blessed with a great training cycle and perfect weather and got to achieve that goal at a young age. |
||
Why do you pace?
|
For those of us with the fitness level and ability to talk others towards keeping up their effort, I think it’s a shame if we don’t support anyone we can. Also I had a great pacer one time who kept us going on a really hot day in a marathon, I hope to be half of what that guy was one day. |
||
Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
I paced a friend in their first half marathon after being their coach from the beginning. It was a beautiful moment seeing it all the way through and almost as satisfying for me as it was for them after all of the hard work. |
||
Why should someone run in your pace group?

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Anything else you’d like to share? |
I hated running distance when in cross country, but now I can’t imagine life without it. I suffered an Achilles injury for a couple of years in high school and took it as a sign that my hatred for running meant something more, but it turns out it was actually what I needed to find out what I was missing out on.
