Hi Gen, I’m in! I’m running a marathon in May, raising money for WWF. It’s in Wales so a long way from Boston but I’ll be training with you in spirit! I’ve ran 10 half marathons but this will be my first full marathon and I’m petrified! Training is so hard! Jjust finding the time to fit it in is difficult enough, so I’m looking forward to reading your blog and any tips you may have.
Good luck!

I am so jealous. I was an avid runner. I did 5k’s & 10k’s quite often. Then I seriously injured & had 5o stop. I was hoping it was temporary but I was told I could never run again, unless I wanted more neck & back surgery. So I wil be cheering you on from my home. I wish we could watch u 2 live. Just you 2 not all the runners. Gen since this is your 1st marathon, I hope your working with a qualified traine. Someone to teach u about proper running & the foods u need to be eating. It’s very important. Plus u need sleep. Your body needs to rest & recharge. Good luck to the Padalecki Two.

Hi Gen!
I have recently started to follow your stories. I am so inspired by Jared and yourself. I have just started to run, super begginer, but it all starts somewhere right? I have two daughters who are my world and I am trying my best to show them how to live a healthy life and stand up for what they believe in. You are so inspiring and I hope to be half the strong woman you are!

I’m not much of a runner but I will definitely try! Sending all of the positive thoughts and energy your way. The physical training alone for a marathon is a huge accomplishment – be proud of each step and mile you run! I’m from Boston and I know that the Boston marathon, in particular, is no easy feat – my family has run it and will attest to how challenging yet extremely rewarding it is. Good luck!
I’m an Illustration student from Boston and would LOVE to create any sort of painting commemorating this event or anything that you love. You and Jared have made a huge impact on my life and I would love to do something in return! I post a lot of my art and projects at @sarahegan.art on Instagram. Thank you, guys! Love you!

Hi Gen and Jared, first of all : your video made my day, I was laughing so much! Those white dots….lol!! I started running about 14 months ago inspired by the #Spnfamily and I really like (I used to rather hate it when I tried it before many years ago). You inspire me again and again, Gen, thank you! When I saw you finish at the Seattle Marathon I couldn’t believe how fresh you looked – just like you could have run on for a lot more miles! I was astonished to read now that you went through some moments where your body kind of quit on you! I am sure you can do the full marathon without any problems! Best of luck!
I am proud of you all and thanks again for the ongoing inspiration, be it health, family, kids and life in general,
Katrin
