Jennifer Gist is my cousin who I ran my first ever marathon with. We have run a handful of other races together and even have done a few as a family. The funnest running memory with Jenn is randomly getting on the same bus at the Grandma's marathon start line a few years ago. Seriously a twist of fate - there are hundreds of buses and we landed on the same one.
Jenn's running profile: Running used to be my "me time" when the kids were little. Then it led to a multitude of outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, biking, and cross country skiing. Now I have found ways to workout outdoors year around - which has turned my exercise into recreation. I like races because they keep me motivated.
Jenn's 2024 Grandma's Goal:
To fully train and be ready to run a marathon in hopefully under five
hours. I want to work hard but still enjoy myself. Last time I was
over-trained both physically and mentally - I even started to hate
running. This time I really want to enjoy this process and not get
burned out. Note - Jenn is the only one in our group who is running
the full in 2024!
