Every week I pull up the Member Engagement report to see who has engaged the most the week before who hasn’t been nominated yet. This week we meet Jodi Williams!
Why did you start running?
Thanks to the Army. Never ran in high school. I didn’t run for quite a few years once I was out of the Army. Decided to get back into it about 15 years ago for health reasons and realized I kinda liked it!
What age did you start running?
Hmm about 18, when I went to boot camp.
How old are you now?
53
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
That it’s ok to be a slow poke! I’m just starting with Tru Tribe & The Running University so I’m sure I’ll learn more!
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Ease into it, find the pace that fits you and keep working at it
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
Be a little more consistent .
What is your longest race distance and why?
Tel Aviv 10K last Feb. I was visiting a friend there she signed up for the half. Other options were a 5k, 10k and full and I wanted a distance a little more than a 5k.
(this has changed since she filled this out! She did the Dam Good Run 13K this past weekend: first trail race and longest race!)
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
Dam Run 13k right now, possibly a 1/2 marathon later down the road
(she can mark this off her list now!)

The few 10ks that I’ve down over the years
What is your favorite color?
Blue

Water, or a vitaminwater
