253 | Jennifer Mortimer | The Queen of Millennium Running
“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.
