Finishing my first 50-miler and seeing all of my friends at the finish line cheering

Why do you pace?

 

I love meeting new people, especially driven runners, and being able to share some miles and stories together is a ton of fun.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

 

Pacing a 3:55 marathon and having three runners in our group qualify for Boston!

Why should someone run in your pace group?

 

I like to joke around and have a chat with the runners in the group.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

 

Good vibes only! Also, enjoy every step because chances are we’ll be reminiscing about the race for days.

Happy to see you all on race day
