Jennifer has been running since she was a teenager but really got involved in the running community after moving from NJ to IL in 2014. Jen ran her first marathon in 2015 and continues to run half-marathons, marathons and even the occasional ultra-marathon. Jen views running as gift to herself, the gift of time, of fitness, and of that runner's high. Running allows Jen to recharge from time with her 10-year old twins, from her work at an educational technology company, and from life in general. Jen is a certified running coach and enjoys sharing her knowledge and love of the sport with others as they work to achieve their running goals.
