Why do you choose to pace? "The Atlanta Marathon was my first marathon in 2018, and it holds a very special place in my heart. One of the 3:30 pacers I ran with back then is now my husband, which makes that race an unforgettable memory. I choose to pace because I love giving back to a race that means so much to me. Supporting runners as they work toward a goal they've trained for over many weeks or even months and helping them believe they can achieve it is very rewarding, and I'm glad to be part of their journey."
