A quotation you like…

The truth is, you can always run faster. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Why do you run?

I run to feel the energy life can offer.

Describe your best marathon memory.

The first time I qualified for the Boston Marathon, I crossed the finish line in tears.  A volunteer told me not to cry because I had done a very good job.  I replied, “I know I did a great job! I just qualified for Boston!”

Why do you pace?

I feel I have the fate of other runners in my hands.  They will either love or hate me that day.  Let’s hope it is love.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Pacing my husband during his second marathon.  We both wanted the difficult race to be over but together we pushed each other to the finish.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Because my main goal is to get everyone to the end of the race on time, with near  equal split times.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

If you are looking to have me pace you during the race, stay with me!  Don’t go running quickly ahead of the group later to find we pass you up in the end.  I also plan to have fun during the race!
