Episode 42 - Parent Advocate Jen Benna

This week we talk with Jen Benna, a mother of two, a phenomenal runner and someone who has many inspiring stories and life experiences to share with us. Jen takes us through the evolution of her 17 year long ultra running journey and how running has intertwined with the different phases of her life. She’s run through motherhood, through stress, through family tragedy and grief, through times of giving too much to running and times of not giving it enough. She has come to a beautiful place of growth, faith, loving the process, engaging the struggle, believing in herself and letting go of imposter syndrome. She now embraces all the parts of her life that make her who she is and she runs from a strong sense of “why”.  We get to hear about some hilarious "pump and run" stories and how Jen would configure breast pumps to be as light as possible so she wouldn't have to stop during long races! She tells us a story about racing and winning a 50 miler after sitting in the ICU with her daughter for 12 days when they almost lost her. But her daughter was strong, pulled through and Jen ran with a fire and gratitude for her daughter's new lease on life (and yes, you’ll need a tissue for this part... for all of the last 30 minutes really). We also learned about what it was like to help her husband, JB, make Unbreakable about Western States in 2010 (if you haven't seen it, watch it via the link below, it's a classic!!)   People like Jen really remind us that what we’re doing - as mothers continuing to pursue our running dreams and bumping up against struggle when life gets hard - is a supremely beautiful thing. Each time we’re able to show up and run, we are honoring the life we get to live, the lives we have created in our kids and the strength that sustains us. This episode is filled with golden nuggets to take with you in training and in life, so enjoy!  Big thanks to our sponsor this week, Cadenshae!
