3:30 SmartPace Teams

Aaron B. - 3:30 pacer

From the moment I met him, I sensed something different. I just didn’t know what or how high he was reaching. Aaron Burros emerged from the crowd carrying the 13-minute pacer flag. That meant he would be my pacer for the Allstate Hot Chocolate 15K in Tampa on December 16th, 2018. He was a commanding presence and we were about to learn why. The Run As we crossed the starting line and established our 1-minute run – 1-minute walk rhythm of the Jeff Galloway running system, he got us talking. That’s different from any other pacer I’ve seen. The others were good at keeping our pace and very personable but Aaron took it to another level. He engaged us with humor, information, and encouragement. He had us singing and shouting, letting everyone one nearby know we were there. It’s amazing how he was coaching us but also taking our mind to another level. Every time we walked, he asked two people to introduce themselves with their name, where they were from, why they ran and their claim to fame. Hearing each other’s stories, we were introduced, found similarities and motivation as we ran 9.3 miles. (After the race we exchanged our contact information. I wouldn’t have imagined I could pick up new clients while running a race.) Very quickly I realized this race was going to be much more than I anticipated. The Rest of the Story SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/episode/03ucYLHjbQNUpENT8UHRhE?si=UbdNM0G9QDOC68bPhm5_UQ&dl_branch=1. APPLE https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/run-the-race/id1485963489?i=1000529051491 #RunningServant How would you respond to those circumstances? I’m guessing most of us would play it safe. But not Aaron. He wants to help others. Even in the midst of his pain and the threat to his wellbeing, he chooses to help others. As the #RunningServant, he runs to raise money to help those who can’t help themselves. He thinks bigger and reaches higher knowing there are others who are also in pain and he wants to help alleviate their suffering. That is the very definition of compassion. That is why he was our pacer. In pacing us, he was helping us to do what we wouldn’t have done otherwise. But you wouldn’t ever have known it without hearing his story. He was energetic, humorous and a great coach. He took us mentally and physically to another level while he was in constant pain. The #runningservant runs for others when he is in pain and threatened by others. That is thinking much bigger and reaching much higher.
