Why do you run?

Run to be free and work things out in my head. It also gets the creative juices going!

Describe your best marathon memory.

Any marathon where I know others are running it with me.

Why do you pace?

I enjoy meeting people and helping them get through the race.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Not exactly pacing but when I saw my entire couch to 5k participants cross the finish line and be SMILING!!!! I got all teary eyed!!

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I’m fun to be around, so I can keep you going with funny stories.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Don’t be afraid, just jump in. Runners are nice people.

Anything else you’d like to share?

Accept everything with an open mind and heart.

What philanthropic activities do you have?

I volunteer as coordinator of the town Farmers Market, Board member Caring Hearts Free clinic, volunteer coach for couch to 5k program.
