Elizabeth (Liz) Driscoll

Age: 21
Occupation/title/what you do: Student at Augustana College, but
graduating in May..... Hopefully I'll have a real job soon! :)
What motivated you to join the PAWS Chicago
Marathon team? I am an animal
lover (to say the least), and this was the first charity I thought of when I
decided to run for one.Is this your first marathon?
This is my first...I run cross country and track in college, and I want to
continue to challenge myself after graduation.
On mile 20, what will you think of to keep going?
Knowing how hard I've worked to get to that point, that I have friends and
family supporting me, and that I'm running for such a great cause.
What obstacles/fears/challenges are you overcoming
by running the marathon? I have been running with a team ever
since I became a runner, and have always relied on them for motivation. I think
my biggest challenge will be doing long runs on my own and learning to motivate
myself (But I also think this will make me a better runner).
Why PAWS Chicago? Because I
think it's wrong to kill animals just because the city is overpopulated. They
should not have to suffer, and need organizations like PAWS to take care of them
and give them suitable homes. If I could, I would adopt all the animals, but
that's a bit unreasonable, so I figured running for the marathon team is the
next best thing! :)
How did you find out about the PAWS Chicago
Marathon Team? I saw that you were one of the charities on
the Chicago Marathon charity web page.
