How I Discovered My Love for Running
Jenny discovered her love of running a decade ago. As a single, full-time mum dealing with a series of unfortunate life events, running “found” her, she says. It became a constant that kept her going.
“Running gave me the confidence that I needed during a difficult time. There was peace in the repetition of doing something repeatedly, gaining strength and getting faster. Beyond the endorphin highs, I love that it also gives me the strength to believe in myself continually.”
Just a year into running, Jenny became a podium-placing athlete. When she decided to take on a 100-kilometre ultramarathon just to show her kids “that their mom could finish”, she came home with the first-place trophy!
“I know things in life should be more intrinsically motivated. But it’s rewarding to know that what I did shows my kids that they can accomplish anything they strive for.”
