Describe your
best marathon memory.
I met a woman the night before the Texas
Marathon.We had great conversation
about marathons and our goals.I told
her I’d always wanted to break 3:30.The next day during the loop course, we cheered for each other as we’d
pass by.As, I got closer to the end,
she said “you’re doing awesome, you’re going to make it”, and later “you’ve
got it!” (I was a mile from the finish).I was so touched by her caring and cheering for me!I have since found her and we keep in
touch.I PR’d that day by 5 minutes,
broke 3:30 for the first time, and made a hopefully lifetime friend!
Why do you pace?
I think it is fun to meet new people and help them
reach their goals
Tell us your
best pacing experience.
I just helped one of my best friends qualify for Boston!
Why should
someone run in your pace group?
A runner should run in my pace group to have fun and
achieve their race goals (whether they are finishing their first marathon,
getting a PR, or trying to qualify for Boston).
Any tips for
runners about to join your group?
Enjoy the marathon, try to look at your
surroundings.It’s easy to get focused
on the course and miss the scenery the race has to offer!
Anything else
you’d like to share?
I want to thank my husband and kids for being
supportive of my marathon passion!
What
philanthropic activities do you have?
I help young children with disabilities and their
families.
