“I can’t believe just a year ago I couldn’t run a mile. And I certainly had no clue what the hell gu and sports beans were.”
-Tweet by Jenn_If_Er
I read this tweet by my friend Jenn on Saturday and I was inspired. A year ago she couldn’t run a mile. A little over a week ago she ran the Dallas Rock N Roll Half Marathon, and despite a nagging hamstring, she finished strong. She and a few friends decided to get a little nutty and wore tutu’s for the race.
That's Jenn second from the right
This past Saturday, she ran a 10K in her hometown and won her age division. This is a woman who couldn’t run a mile a year ago.
I have not always been a runner, but I have always been able to run. If a friend randomly asked me to go for a jog, I could hang for 3 miles, maybe even 4 or 5 if I had to. I didn’t like it, but I could do it.
Jenn couldn’t run a mile a year ago. This last weekend she won her division in a 10K race.
I am inspired to work harder, get better and most importantly continue to enjoy this obsession we call running.
Jenn – You are Inspiration.

Thank you – this is the sweetest post. I still can’t believe I ran that fast…or that anyone would ever consider anything I have done inspirational. Running has truely changed my life!
Very inspirational. GO JENN!!!
That is INCREDIBLY inspirational, Matt. I have no excuse. Have to keep on walking-jogging-running-trying harder, getting better. Thanks for the good word!
Gretchen – whether it’s walking, jogging, running or a combination of the three, as long as you’re moving, that’s what counts!
