she did it!

My sister Jodi ran the National Marathon yesterday in 4:14:47.  She set a new PR by more than 20 minutes!  I am soo proud of her.  I knew she was going to do it – I felt it in my bones.  I am one proud sister and cannot wait to train and race with her again.

In other news, today I ran for 70 minutes at a 10 minute pace on one of my favorite trails.  The run was a success!  7 miles in the fresh air.  The farthest I have run since my baby boy was born a little over 7 weeks ago.  I am going to be ready to run the 10 mile race on my birthday in 2 weeks!  Little by little my strength is coming back and the aches and pains from pregnancy are dissipating.  My hard work and determination is paying off!

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!
