05/09/24 • 95 min

At the 2023 Texas Independence Relay, the husband and wife duo took on the ~200 mile race as a team of two. Unfortunately, they got to 120-ish miles and had to call it a day but they spent the next 365 days thinking about redemption. With increased training, multiple ultramarathons, they came back ready and more prepared for TIR 2024 and conquered the course!
Let's catch up with them post-race and hear it in their own words

075: Let's Run with Jin Jung (@jinjung)

Usually when I do these episodes, it’s more about sharing the runner’s run journey but this turned more into two runners/frienss catching up and talking about the past year of running, including the @chevronhoustonmarathon on Sunday. So it’ll be like you pulled up seat to a conversation.
.
I’ve only seen Jin face to face maybe 3 or 4 times since we met back in 2021 but he’s probably one of my biggest cheerleaders and supporters from the running community and vice versa. Just a generally good guy who loves to see you crush goals while he’s crushing his goals. And this year alone, he went from a 3:20
Marathon in June to a 3:10:18 on Sunday at Chevron, missing his BQ by 18 seconds. But he’s ready to try for it again this summer.
