Jen has a 2:34.37 PR from the 2019 Chicago Marathon along with
1:11.32 in the half from Houston in 2020. She recalls her first
running memory and overcoming Osgood Schlatter in both knees in
high school. We discuss her college recruitment and why she made
the decision to attend the U of Arizona. 


After hearing about her transition to college, Jen talks about
her 3rd place finish in the 2011 NCAA Outdoor 10,000. We go thru
only some her accolades in college as there are many (See Links)
then we move to what her transition was like to the professional
ranks. We hear about her marathon debut, taking four months to
travel to South America & the 2019 Chicago Marathon PR of 8
minutes!
