Why do you choose to pace? "Pacing gives me the opportunity to give back by helping others pursue their running goals. I've benefited from others pacing me, and it feels good to pay it forward. Additionally, sharing space with others as they reach for their goals always leads to me feel reinvigorated as it pertains to my own running goals!"
