active throughout her life, but has always been challenged by running. After a friend approached
her to train for a half marathon, Jennifer decided she was up to the challenge and ran the Country Music

marathon that same year. Since then, Jennifer has run 2 more marathons as well as many shorter races. Her
goal is to qualify for Boston by 2008.
Jennifer graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor’s in Nutrition and completed her
