Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. – Gail Devers
My Goals:
- I will run across the United States beginning my journey on April 16th 2014. (San Francisco to NYC)
- I will run self supported pushing a modified jogging stroller full of camping gear and supplies.
- I will raise funds and awareness for The Brain Injury Association. http://biausa.donorpages.com/ForwardMotion/
- I will achieve these things on a plant based diet.
- I will have a crazy, challenging, epic adventure.
Please follow my adventure and stay tuned for a live tracking map once I start running! The map below provides a general idea of the route but is subject to changes.
Goldman Goes For It 
Pretty cool young lady. What your going to do is very inspiring.
Good luck. Lorna Michael did it in 64 days in 1993. http://www.usacrossers.com
Yes, thanks. I know. I am also trying to exceed the unofficial record. Sometimes I wonder if I should just do an unofficial record to get around some of the rules & stipulations set out by Guinness. Complicated topic I guess. 🙂
You know I support your efforts and wish you the best but I must say that Guinness is no Official Record keeper of any kind. They are a self appointed as a way of publicity for themselves. So long story short is I believe Lorna’s record is every bit of valid as Mavis’s! 😉
Love watching you train! See you on the trail soon!!!
The trail was really rough today but the snowmobiles started going through this afternoon so it may get packed down again 🙂 I hope to see you soon.
Awesome!! Please let me know if your route includes El Paso,TX. I will be able to provide support. We supportedMilton Miller, 100 days of madness and we are hoping to also support Jeremy Schaefer.
Good luck!!
Thank you so much!! I will actually be taking a more Northern route but supporting my fellow transs-continental runners is the same as supporting me! 🙂 What a wonderful person you are.
You go girl! If you need anything when you get to NYC, let me know!
I just read about you less than an hour ago. I was born in San Francisco, worked on Dover Air Force Base and ran a marathon in NH. I am very impressed. I would love to meet you and or chat w you one day. My cell is 302-249-2189. I will support you and your purpose.
Good luck and happy trails to you. Can’t wait to see you in NYC….
Jessica, enjoy the run. I did it in 2011. Stop, and do some very slow 360s and soak up the experience to tuck away for the future.
Inspiring. I’ll be cheering you on through the GPS. You can do it!
Come get some Rolfing when you are done! It’s on me.
Good luck Jessica! My husband suffered traumatic brain injuries in Afghanistan, so what you are doing to raise money and awareness hits home with me. Thank you, stay strong, and know you are supported!
Take care! Chris Libby Meyer
You are such an inspiration!! I watched you on the local news, and now I’m following your progress through CA. You’re doing an amazing job! Good Luck to you! I know you can do it! Godspeed!
You’re such an inspiration. I’m following you (on the computer, definitely not on foot). Be safe and enjoy this amazing time of your life Jessica. You deserve it girl. XO
