I've completed 10 half marathons, two full marathons and several other race distances. I'm not fast and I'll certainly never win any races, but I love running because crossing the finish line makes me feel like I accomplished something.
Aside from running and healthy living, I'm a huge fan of the University of Maryland Terrapins. I graduated from UMD in December 2007 and still make it back to campus for several football and soccer games each season. Sometimes I even try to convince my friends to "health-ify" our tailgates. They aren't always on board, but I'm determined to convince them that veggies at a tailgate can taste just as good as burgers and beer.
In my day job, I work as a social media strategist for a government agency. Basically that just means blogging, Facebook and Twitter are a huge part of my full-time job. If you're curious to see what I do when I wear my 9-5 hat, you can check out my work blog, Twitter and Facebook accounts or check out my first on-camera interview in my professional role. (I'm near the 35-second mark.)
Overall, I'm all about having fun and enjoying life while still being healthy. Health and fitness shouldn't be a chore, it should fit naturally into our daily lives.
That's what I write about here at Jess Runs. I love talking about all aspects of health and fitness, including training, nutrition, finding motivation and making it all fun. I hope you learn something new or find a bit of inspiration to do something healthy today.
