Jessica’s Running Bio

The abbreviated story for the short attention span era:

• I ran track in high school but hated longer distances
• From high school to my late 20′s I didn’t run a step
• I was a VERY casual runner prior to 2002 for about a year.
• In Oct 2002 I had open heart surgery to repair a leaky mitral valve.
• I started running a bit more consistently in 2003 but not during the cold Minnesota Winters.
• I ran my first ever 5K in the spring of 2003, finishing in about 32 minutes.
• In January 2005 I moved to Orange County, CA and have been running consistently even since.
• In 2006 I ran by first marathon (3 of them) and my first ultra (2 of them).  Prior to that year I’d barely run more than a 10K race (I did a half marathon at the end of 2005).  If I can do it – you can do it!
• In February of 2006 I started my trail running group – the Orange County Trail Runners.
• In February of 2007 I put on my first ultra marathon – the Twin Peaks 50/50.
• In August of 2008 I Moved to Portland and started the Portland Trail Runners group.

Happy Running & Dirty Feet,
Jessica
