I still remember when the thought of completing a marathon felt so big and scary. Chasing a goal like that can feel overwhelming, and sometimes you just need someone in your corner to help you believe you can do it.

Race pacers have been that for me more times than I can count. In my own races, having someone to follow, trust, and lean on when things get hard has made all the difference. I know firsthand how much that support means, and I think that’s why pacing others feels so special to me.

I know running isn’t for everyone, and I know how intimidating those big goals can feel when you’re starting out. Getting to be that person for someone else, helping them through the tough miles and watching them cross the finish line having accomplished something they once only dreamed of, is such a rewarding feeling. I truly couldn’t be prouder of the runners I’ve had the opportunity to pace. 

I’m also so grateful for this running community that has given me lifelong friendships and people who are always there to support me through all my crazy ideas. Running has given me so much more than I ever expected, and getting to give even a little of that back to others makes me feel incredibly lucky.
