[@emilybusby6922]

Congrats on finishing your first marathon- that’s huge! I started running about a week and a half ago and I today I ran a mile straight without walking at all for the first time in my life. It’s much easier than I scared myself into thinking it would be and I’m already considering running a 5k sometime next year. Seeing you running and enjoying it so much has definitely played a part in me FINALLY starting myself. It’s been on my to-do list for a while. I guess what I’m really trying to say is, I saw Jenna wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops. 🙃 Thanks for inspiring me to be more proactive about my health and my endurance. And congrats again on your marathon!

[@JennaHong]

congratulations 💗 that is such an amazing milestone and just the beginning for you I have a feeling 🥹 one mile, next time 1.1, then 1.2 before you know it you’ll easily get to 3.1 🥹 I believe in you!

[@nataliatorres2379]

Congratulations Jenna! We’ve been witnesses of your hard work during marathon training and it’s lovely to see you achieve one of your 2024 goals! Hope you are taking some well deserved rest ❤

Congratulations on finishing but also on sub 4:00. YT recommended your channel because I was watching Kris H NYC marathon training and I'm glad I decided to watch. I sincerely fell for the rambling as I'm a talker when I want to be. Thanks for creating your channel; I like your editing and the content you choose to share. I'm also attempting to learn Bahasa Indonesian and will pick back up Korean in the future.

[@JennaHong]

[@byTaheryah]

This video was such an inspiration, Jenna! I'm 28 and I want to run one marathon at some point in my life. I ran track and cross country in high school so I want a marathon to be my adult running milestone. Not sure when I'll go for it as I'm far removed from being a runner now. I loved getting a glimpse into your training so I know what to expect when I do start training. 🎖

[@JennaHong]

Thank you❤️ you can DO IT!!! We have the same upbringing w running, if I can so can you💗 this whole running journey as an adult started around 1.5 years ago!
