Why do you run?
|
There’s no feeling like a runner’s high!!
Seriously, running lets me clear my head and enjoy my
surroundings. There is nothing that will put me in a better mood than a long
run.

Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
Looking back, it was the spectators shouting out ‘Go girl go,
you’re 3rd female!’. How
cool. Though at the time, I was thinking ‘don’t say that!! Its too early to
hear that!!’

|
|
Why do you pace?
|
It’s a wonderful experience. I get to help others meet their
goals and while inspiring them to keep running. Plus it is completely fun to soak in the
scenery for 26.2 miles without actually racing.

|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
|
At Palm Beach Marathon, a lady in my group was going for a big
PR. While running, she told me what an accomplishment this was for her, since
she had completely quit smoking and drinking. She used running to turn her
life around! It inspires me to hear
others stories of triumphs.

|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
I have a lot of energy and beware, its contagious! I will smile and chat the entire 26.2 miles
and you will get to the finish on time.
|
|
|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
I will not walk through water stations, so plan ahead.
I will smile and chat the entire time J
I suggest leaving the IPOD at home and subject yourself to my infectious optimism.

Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
Run with me! Haha. I love to run want you to love it too. So
come out and do a race with me!
|
|
|
What philanthropic
activities do you have?
|
Volunteering at races is great fun and they need the help!
A running friend once told me to run with someone faster than
myself once a week, then pay it forward by pacing someone slower than me once
a week. Not only is it sound training
advice, but it feels great to help motivate other runners.
