A quotation you like… |
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day,
or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its
place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
My first marathon was the 2012 New Jersey marathon. Pacer Pete went along for support and guidance. He provided me with advice and tips which helped me run a great marathon debut. I went to this race just with the goal of finishing. I ran most of the race with the 3:10 and then the 3:05 pace groups, which really helped. I broke away from the 3:05 pace group around mile 18 and had moved my way up to 2nd overall female. Mile 20 I felt great and picked up the pace. By mile 22 I saw the first place female and passed her by mile 23 and never looked back! I crossed the finish line winning the New Jersey Marathon and with a time of 2:59:48. |
