  • Am I crazy or determined? 🤔

Two of the full marathons I’ll be “racing” and the others I’ll be pacing. 😄

  • Reasons my 25th full marathon was my hardest ⤵️

▪️It was my first time as “sweeper”. I therefore didn’t quite know what to expect nor knew how long I’d be out on the course for. 
▪️I “swept” several runners who didn’t want to talk. This made the sweeping gig feel very lonely at times.
▪️At various points along the course, I had to run quickly to catch up with the “new” last runner(s) since that last marathon runner I was with dropped out. 
▪️At mile 18 I went from a 15:53 pace to a 10:00 pace to catch the “new” last runners a mile ahead of me! 😮
▪️Four runners were diverted to an alternate course at mile 23. I was put in a van and moved ahead to mile 24 to sweep in some runners. When I crossed the finish line with these runners, I headed back out, uphill, to find the diverted runners. 

Crossing the finish line with the final two runners was magical! ✨

It was Deb’s first marathon. Deb was running in memory of Tonya who lost her battle with cancer. It was 74 year old Diane’s 120th marathon (and according to her, the last marathon). 😮

Every 26.2 mile journey has a story and no marathon is easy! It requires both physical and mental toughness… even from the marathon pacers. 💥

Thank you @inmotionevents for an incredible race at the Carlsbad Marathon, thank you @mush for powering our pace team, and thank you @onpacerace for the giving me the privilege of serving as sweeper. ❤️

  • Running with ocean views is my favorite thing to do! 😍

One of the many reasons why I’m looking forward to @bsimevents Big Sur Marathon on April 30th! 🙌🏻

Belive it or not, but I’m NOT pacing this event. 😮 (The last marathon I ran that I did not pace was in 2019.)

My plan for race day is to go out, have fun, take ALL the pictures/videos, and run. 🏃🏻‍♀️

Have you run Big Sur before?

  • Happy Marathon #MedalMonday! 🎉

There’s been so much interest on my @onpacerace sweeping experience at the @inmotionevents Carlsbad Marathon and I love it! 🙌🏻

I welcome any and all of your questions! ❤️

One of the big questions was, “Did the runners who were moved to the diverted course still get a race medal?” 🤔

I’m happy to report that ALL runners who crossed that finish line, including Deb and Diane, got a medal! (Check my “Carlsbad Story Highlight for more about Deb and Diane.) 🎉

A HUGE shoutout to @inmotionevents for providing support for the back of the pack runners! The last two runners were personally handed a goodie bag and beverage upon finishing the marathon AND checked on several times while out on the course to see if they needed water or anything else! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
