The Social Run

The running communities on Twitter and Instagram provide me with so much motivation. So many incredible people achieving amazing things. This episode is with one of those people. This episode is with someone that I look forward to reading about her latest everyday accomplishments; not to mention her races. Jennifer makes every run, every weight training session, and every event she does seem like the best thing in life. I don't think their is anyone I follow that enjoys every single step as much as she does. And every single step is amazing.We talk road running, trail running, her first 100 miler, inspiring people, and we even hold a Twitter election.Thanks Jennifer!You can follow Jennifer:Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenrunsupInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jenrunsup/----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Leave me some feedback on Twitter or Instagram.
