I Run Because... I eat cake and drink beer. It helped me lose 100 pounds. It lifts me up when feeling down. It brings me down when feeling a bit too up. When I run it motivates others. It allows me to do stupid things and call it exercise. I enjoy taking wrong turns and getting lost. I run because I still can. #NationalRunningDay #KeepMovingForward

My name is Jess. I am a wife, mother, nurse, and graduate student. I started running in 2011 and lost over 100lb. I fell and injured my hip in 2012 and the weight started going back up as we searched for answers on why my hip was hurting so badly. In 2016 I had hip surgery to fix the labral tear and have started running again. In 2017 I ran a few half marathons, very slowly, but the weight didn't drop much. Honestly, I just continued to emotionally eat while dealing with school, home, and work ...

Honestly, I just continued to emotionally eat while dealing with school, home, and work stress. My goals in 2020 are to run a full marathon (hopefully the hip hangs in there), graduate with my master's degree, lessen my stress, learn to cope without binge eating, and finally get back down to my goal weight in a safe way that sticks! I love being outside, hiking/running keep me sane. I love the trails, the forests, and visiting my friends in Colorado. I have learned to try new things even when my anxiety tries to stop me.
