Why do you run?

I run to stay fit, to enjoy the outdoors, to compete, to meet new people and to see new places.

Describe your best marathon memory.

My wife and I decided to do the San Diego Rock n Roll marathon as our first marathon.  We did the entire marathon together and had an incredible experience which has kept us coming back for more!

Why do you pace?

I love to help people achieve their goals.  I love seeing running a marathon become transformed from an individual sport to a team sport.

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Last year while I was pacing a half marathon a few people from my group decided to try to pick up the pace for the last two miles.  They left me like I was standing still and made up over a minute in the last two miles.  They were so excited when I crossed the finish line, it was so rewarding to see.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

We have fun! (Plus, I’ll get them to their goal finish time)

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Stop by our table at the expo and introduce yourself.

Anything else you’d like to share?

Pacing is a rewarding experience and there are so many individual stories out there on the course.  It’s great to hear those stories and become a part of them.  See you at the starting line!
