A quotation you like…

 

“Run The Mile you’re In”

Why do you run?

 

Everything that I deem overwhelming seems manageable after a good run. It is when I am most aware that yes, today, I am alive; I am living.

Describe your best marathon memory.

 

Miami Marathon 2016 it was my first marathon. I ran it and had barely started running I remember that five weeks the marathon I met coach Luis Aguilar and he volunteered to help me putting together a five weeks training plan for me. It was also the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. Before I crossed the start line I was really, really, really nervous Running your first marathon is an overwhelming experience. It's all things incredible and equally painful.

Why do you pace?

 

 To help other runners to achieve their goals since running gives us so much, it seems only right to try and give a little back
