10 days

In 10 days I will run my 8th marathon.

This week I have felt all the expected taper craziness.

My emotions are zippy –

up
down

up
down.

There is an encouraging voice in my head through it all, though. Reminding me that this insanity is “normal.” Assuring me that I am doing all the right stuff and that I will arrive at the Start Line ready to realize my dream.

I’m fully aware of the pain I am about to face. I’m completely ready to step up to the challenge and make my dreams a reality.

I am preparing for battle.

Everything will be put on the line. I will not give up. I will fight to the finish. I will pursue my dream with relentless passion and grit.

10 days from now I will meet my hero, and it will be me.

Hi, I'm Jess!

Thanks for visiting my blog! I’m a runner, a coach, and an artist whose work’s purpose is to celebrate and encourage others on the run. I started running over 20 years ago when I signed up for my first marathon, and since then it has become an integral part of me and how I live my life. Running changed me in ways I never could have imagined, and has continued to lead me down a path of personal and professional growth and self discovery. On this blog I love sharing stories about my journey, talking about the lessons I’ve learned along the way and connecting with all of you. Thank you for being here!
