Why do you run?
|
It’s in my blood! My dad
is an amazing runner (over 80 marathons to date) and passed on his love of
running to me – it’s my “zen” that gives me amazing physical and mental
energy yet also keeps me relaxed and focused all at the same time.

Describe your best
marathon memory.
|
Crossing the Boston finish line in 2006 – almost 9 months to the
day after I had my son following a tough bed-rest pregnancy – with a PR by
almost 14 minutes and feeling great!
When I crossed the finish line, I started crying with joy and the
medics rushed over, but I gushed to them “These are happy tears!!”
|
|
|
Why do you pace?
|
This will be my first official pacing experience, but I have
really enjoyed pacing friends and family informally in the past as I love
helping others meet their goals and enjoy the running experience!
|
|
|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
|
I helped my step-mom complete her first half marathon at the
2008 Gasparilla – crossing the finish line hand in hand with her and my
father was great!
|
|
|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
Because I love to share the joy of running and meeting personal
goals with others – I am also a great cheerleader and very determined to help
my whole group meet their goal!
|
|
|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
Stay focused but relaxed – go out easy, enjoy the experience and
have fun!
|
|
|
Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
Look forward to seeing you at the race!

|
|
What philanthropic
activities do you have?
|
I lead my daughter’s Girl Scout troop and also volunteer
extensively at both my daughter and son’s schools.
