Describe your best marathon memory.

When I ran my first Boston Marathon and having goose bumps the entire time.

Why do you pace?

I pace because it is an extension of who I am in motivating others to realize there is more within them then they know.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I was pacing the Football Hall of Fame Marathon in 2016 and have one runner stick with me the whole time. I lied to her about our pace until we where at mile 24. I told her that she was 10 minutes ahead of her BQ and I knew she had a lot left because I kept slowing her down. She ended up BQing by 14 minutes and joined her in Boston in 2017.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I play Pandora on my wireless speaker and I sing while I motivate the runners.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Let me do all the thinking…You just follow me and free your thoughts and just run.
