On The Runs

253 | Jennifer Mortimer | The Queen of Millennium Running

Sep 8

“no one cares” — just do the thing.

We are wicked excited to officially welcome the 2x NCAA All-American, U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier, Boston Marathon top NH female finisher, a mom, a coach, and the queen of Millennium Running, Jennifer Mortimer to our PodFam!

What we love most is this: Jen never chased status. She chased the sport she loved.

That mindset took her from a mandatory mile in gym class to the start line with the best in the country.
And honestly? That same energy is why she’s such a great coach.

No one cares if it’s messy.
No one cares if it’s imperfect.
Just show up and do the thing.

Thank you to Back in Action for sponsoring this episode of a local New Hampshire Runner.
