3:00 for half marathon

Why do you run?

I started to run at the first of Pandemic in 2021. Running keeps me healthy and I met lots of runners.

Describe your best marathon memory.

My first half marathon was 2022 Fred Lebow HM in Central Park NYC, I finished in 2:39. I ran with a very happy memory because I met lot of friends in the race including an 82-year-old lady. We took some selfies and photos in the race.

Why do you pace?

I always pace the beginner runner in my running club. I am very happy when helping others finish their half marathon, maybe the first half marathon.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

I paced 300 for JC half marathon in 2023. I should have a partner first. But she moved to 2:30 after other pacers did not recover from the Boston Marathon. As a result, I paced 300 by myself and finished in 2:59:17. No matter what happened, or no one following me, I was always keeping a steady pace.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

Most runners of my group are running their first half marathon. We can finish it in a happy and relaxing time. You can do it.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Your dream of first half marathon will come true. Just join me and let's do it together.

Anything else you’d like to share?

Have fun in your half marathon.

What philanthropic activities do you have?

I was a volunteer in some NYRR running race. I also volunteered in 2022 and 2023 NYC marathon in finish line.
