I'm continually surprised that anyone ever has any questions to ask me when I offer these AMA's. Once again, I barely got through half the questions, so there will be a part 2 coming soon. It is such a joy for me to share and connect with you in this sort of way - like chatting with a good friend over flavored fizzy water 😉 Thank you for being a part of this beautiful community!

Jen! I’ve literally watched you since I was in 5th grade. Thanks for answering my question and being so vulnerable!

Taylor

I think the reason I like your everyday, regular vlogs is because they are what is relatable. Most of us are just chilling in our houses, running errands, doing the best we can! Thats why I like your day- in- the- life style vlogs.

Rosemary

Oh girl! I love your vulnerability 💕 When I was just a small girl the only career aspirations I had was to be the lady behind the cookie counter at the grocery store! To me, that meant handing out cookies to all the little kids and eating all I wanted. Knowing you only wanted to be a wife gives me such insight into who you are and it makes me “love” you even more. Keep being REAL! It truly is what sets you apart. And thanks for answering my questions.❤️

I can relate to being chatty with strangers. No expectations. 🩷

Marissa

Good tips! I've been very "pace-focused" especially this training cycle, so I've been trying to keep my normal paces in the heat and humidity and meanwhile my heart rate will be like way up and I'll be totally wiped afterwards. I think I need to cut myself some slack and realize that even if I'm going "slower" it's just as demanding and just as much effort in more extreme conditions. Thank you! 😊

This was a great video! Loved this. And your story about wanting to be a wife totally reminded me of something silly about myself. When I was very very young, (I'm thinking maybe around 5) I remember being really upset because I thought adults were only ever allowed to have one job and being a mommy was a job. So I had to pick between being a mommy and doing something else, at that age I think it was either being a teacher or a veterinarian, (where I got that idea who knows, because my mother was obviously a mother AND an accountant 🤦🏻‍♀️) but anyways I was heartbroken for who knows how long because I really really wanted to be a mommy, but I also really really wanted to be a teacher or a vet. Ironically enough none of those 3 things ever came to be, but eventually I figured out I could have done both and my early childhood anxiety over such things was much better after that 😆

I didn’t know you like to inline skate! I take my skates to the school court and love to skate. Out on some tunes, and go to town for an hour. One thing I’ve learned over the years (I’m 45 soon) is that you cannot out exercise a bad diet. Hard lesson for me because I LOVE candy. I had to shift my whole idea on food, now I eat more protein, limit the breads/pasta (no problem as I don’t enjoy pasta), and really be conscious of what sweets I may have for dessert. That sugar is such a monster. Hope your races go well. :)

I loved ballet as a young girl too and did it quite intensively until age 12. I always kinda regretted not seeing it through to en pointe- but now in my 40s (with genetically problematic feet too 😬) I am really glad I didn’t! A few years ago I went back and tried a few low key adult classes (forgot how tough it can be) but am now happy watch and enjoy talented dancers from the audience! 😊

I was yelling at the phone “the Wonder Years!!! The Wonder Years!” Haha

Maria

😍 Lol at the quick pool bag content showing, very speedy, very zippy!

Isabel

Jen, thank you for sharing so openly 🫶 it makes me connect, not by having the same story, but through the complex experience of figuring out oneself in this life. I find you so interesting and kind 🌸

With Wonder

Thanks for sticking around, Clara! I’m so grateful to be able to share and connect with you here in the WWC 💞

With Wonder

I totally get this. It’s comforting to see other people do regular life stuff just like us 😊

With Wonder

I love this, Rosemary! Your generous and kind heart shines through your cookie counter aspirations as a child 🥰

With Wonder

Yes to this! 👏 Slowing down in extreme weather is absolutely the way imho. And don’t just take my word for it - remember at springtime how the official pacers slowed down by a minute/mile? Listen to your body’s cues during and after and I’m sure you’ll find the right approach for you 🏃‍♀️

With Wonder

It’s so interesting to reflect back on the ideas we had as children. I appreciate you sharing you own experience and can totally relate 💕

With Wonder

Ooh I feel this! I swear my metabolism absolutely changed at 40. And you’re right - nutrition is an essential element of complete health 👌

With Wonder

And this is why I share as I do 🥰 Thank you for being open to connecting with me in this way too! The internet sure has lots of negatives but I believe there can be many beautiful opportunities for connection too 💞

Kimberlee Pickens

I’m so late watching this…my apologies! I’m catching up was on vacation for birthdays (bf’s and son’s). Wow you really opened up!!! There were a couple of questions I’m like there’s no way she’s gonna answer that but shockingly you did! And I learned more about you. Really appreciate the way you respectfully responded to the questions to not be too harsh but still be honest. I’m sure that wasn’t easy. Thanks so much for sharing!! Maybe some of my questions may get answered on the next one. ☺️🥰😜 BTW I’m the same with hot foods/drinks in the summer and cold foods in the winter lol 😂 glad to know I’m not alone.

Apryl

Jen, can you share what resources you are using for zone training? I am starting to get into that.

With Wonder

So, I took advice from the coaches for the mountain events I’m participating in this year. They’re not personal coaches but generally available for the event. But if you do a general search I bet you’d find some good resources out there 🏃‍♀️

Irina

What you said about not hoarding kindness... wow. That's going to stay with me. Thank you so much.
