Because I can, and I love the strength it gives me mentally and
physically.

Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
The Disney Marathons are always my favorites. I always do the Goofy, half Saturday and
full Sunday. We always go as a group
and have the best time taking pictures with the character and making friends
along the way. Last year I
"secretly" got 2 of my girl friends in under their goal time and
had a blast the whole time.

|
Why do you pace?
|
I love watching people achieve their goals, it’s a great moment to be
a part of.

|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
|
My best friend Jen had never broke 4 hours in all her years of
running marathons. I paced her in the
Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. The
most amazing moment was when she knew she was gong to achieve that goal with
room to spare. Being with her as she
crossed the line and break 4 hour (3:53) was an awesome experience I will
never forget.

|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
I am very encouraging and talkative, which helps the time go by. I genuinely love running and have a passion
for marathons.
|

|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
Bring your GU and a smile. Its
hard to have a bad run when your smiling.

|
Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
I have 4 kids, age 11 to 3, so anyone can find time to train if I
can. They keep me going, I have to
keep up. My husband is very
supportive, even when he can't understand why I run when I have a perfectly
good car. Running is definately
cheaper than therapy!

|
What philanthropic
activities do you have?
|
I run the Youth Philanthropy Council for Floyd and Clark counties in
Southern Indiana. I love being
involved with this group, we teach local youth what it means to give back to
your community and we are building the philanthropists of tomorrow.
