I’m Jennifer (or Jenn, or most commonly Mama), a 29 year old stay at home mom from Athens GA. My husband, Jeremy, and I have been married for 6 years, and we have an almost three year old son, Hogan. I began running shortly after his birth in 2006 and haven’t looked back. I have half a dozen 5ks under my belt, two 10ks and two half marathon. I’m working to learn how to balance healthy fuel with my love of french fries, while trying to shave a few minutes off my half marathon time.
I’m always looking for people to connect with, so please feel free to stop in and say hello!

Wow. I’m floored. I just posted on your post about wrecking on your bike. Then I scrolled down and read your story about beating cancer and becoming a runner. I am in awe and inspired. Whenever it feels hard I will certainly think of you and what wonderful things you’ve done.
I, too, am competing in my first tri… in 10 days!! It’s on August 2nd in my hometown in Mississippi (You’re familiar with the heat I’ll be battling). I am confident in everything but the swim. If I can only keep from drowning…
Good luck to you!

Thanks so much! I so appreciate you taking the time to stop in and say hello. And good luck!!! I hope your tri is relatively early in the morning. These summer temps are brutal, aren’t they? I’m the same place as you, as far as swimming. If I can keep afloat during that, I think I’ll be ok! Hope all goes well on the second!

Hi Jenn! I’m actually writing in response to a comment you left here:
http://charitymile.com/blog/a-word-about-socks/
And wanted to invite you to try a pair of point6 socks for free. Two things we’re doing differently:
1. Only selling on the http://www.point6.com website. This allows us to pass along an everyday price that is typically 30% off retail prices.
2. Using compact-spun yarn throughout the whole sock, a more expensive process that improves durability and performance without adding bulk.
If you’re interested shoot me an email at storyteller@point6.com and we can discuss the details.
Thanks,
Shannon Brooks Hamby
