Describe your best marathon memory.

Qualifying
for the Boston Marathon.
I was supposed to qualify at Myrtle Beach Marathon but they cancelled the marathon due to two
inches of snow. Quitting was not an option so I convinced the airlines to
find me a seat to Augusta GA to run the
Snickers Marathon. I was three weeks out
again so I had to fly home from Myrtle
Beach and the next day run another 20 miler and
retaper. It was the hardest thing mentally to have to wait another three
weeks after I felt ready in Myrtle
Beach, but I did it and I qualified!

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I
pace my cousin who never ran a marathon in her life. She wanted to do it for
her 30th birthday. We ran the Grand Canyon Marathon
together and it was amazing to watch the transformation she had during the
marathon. It was one of the hardest things she ever accomplished.
