A quotation you like…

Smile it makes people wonder what you are up too

Why do you run?

I am passionate about it! I love my running family/friends. I love the scenery and places that it takes me!

It is my “me” time, its when I do my best thinking.  Every race is a new adventure with my best friend!

Describe your best marathon memory.

Feeling the energy from fellow runners and experiencing the range of emotions that you get before, during, and after…I cannot put into words the feelings I get each time I cross that finish line whether it is for others or for myself.

Why do you pace?

It makes my heart happy to see others achieve things they never thought possible

Tell us your best pacing experience.

The night before a race I am signing up to run/pace with a friend who didn’t believe in themselves or believe they could do it

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Super fun, I love to talk and I have some fun stories/experiences I like to share

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

First and most important is just have fun! Second I love to tell them that if this is their first one they will be getting a PR, that usually gets a giggle and throws them off a little because some first timers don’t always know what a PR is.
