Jenn Walton is a road runner turned trail ultra runner from Winnipeg, MB. She is a former professional ballet pianist who was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at the age of two. After spending her childhood developing the skills and discipline needed to become a concert pianist, Jenn found herself struggling with overuse injuries and debilitating arthritic pain. Thanks to the influence of a few great physios and friends, she made some big changes to her lifestyle, discovered running, and can now gratefully say that she has not seen a rheumatologist or taken medication in decades.
Everyone has their own path to discovery when it comes to running. Some fall in love in their youth. Some find that after a period of struggle and refinement, putting on a pair of running shoes and hitting the road or a trail is like coming home to a place their body and their soul needed to be for a very long time. Jenn talks to us about how motion really is lotion and we are so thrilled to share her story with you.
