Jennifer Champagne Saunders(HF18911) – After taking almost 20 years off from running due to a foot surgery, relocation, and starting a family, I started getting back into long distance running shape after my mom unexpectedly passed away a few years ago. I used to run full marathons, the last being in 2006.
I find this time around that I am stopping to smell the roses during these half marathons. If I see a funny poster, I’ll take a picture. I thank all of the police officers keeping the runners safe and aid station volunteers. But most of all, I am thankful for being able to finish these races. I won’t take it for granted like I did way back.
Here I am finishing my sixth half in less than six months and leveling up to Uranus! This was my slowest time ever but I still finished and that’s all that counts. It is getting too hot where I live so plan to pick up again in October or November. So thankful for this group and hearing about everyone’s races. Looking forward to the HF meetup at the Louisiana Marathon, my home state, in January!
