I had a great day running the Country Music 1/2 Marathon! A couple of days before the race, Matt suggested I take the “Catron Cam” along to document the race from a runner’s perspective. So I grabbed my Kodak Zi6 little mini HD cam and headed out to the race today.
Enjoy!
WARNING: This might make you a bit nauseous. It’s hard to do good camera work when you’re pounding the pavement.
PS – This was my first attempt at editing my own video. I know it’s a bit long, but it’s hard to condense over 2 hours of running and pre and post race highlights.
Also starring in this video:
Ashley Warren – my faithful running partner
Matt Warren – Ashley’s husband
Brian Dishon – Cross Point Elder
Jessica Esch – my wonderful sister (you’ll notice that I also refer to her as “Hilda”… that’s a story for another day)
Jenni Catron is the Executive Director of 
I loved the video. Felt just like I was there, minus the sweat and claustrophobia of the crowd.
So proud of y’all for finishing and finishing strong. Maybe I’ll do it again when I’m 40….maybe.
Friend,
How awesome!! You encouraged me to do another 5K.
Loved it!
You rock, Catron! Due to your hard work & video inspiration i’ve signed up for the 1/2 in Vegas in December!
Oh man, what a day! You rocked it out! Glad I got to see my legs run by…I will never forget what I was feeling at that moment! Next year I will joining the rest of you on the half!
@Rach – I missed you this year!
@Heidi – If I’m ever in your neck of the woods, I’ll do a 5K with you.
@Kat – Yea! I’m so proud. What a great reason to go to Vegas!
@Wes – next year I’ll let you do the camera work since you run faster than us. I’m still in awe that you completely the full marathon!
Jenni, that was great. It felt like I was taking the adventure with you. Thanks for doing the video.
congrats girl. what an accomplishment!!!!! you all are awesome.
That was so cool! Thanks for sharing and congrats for finishing a 1/2 marathon. I’ve only ran 10K’s and now my body is too old to try and run anything farther, haha! I’m suppose to run the irongirl 10K in Del Mar in June, but my only friend that runs won’t be in town. So I have to decide if I want to run it alone which won’t be much fun, or not go at all… sniff. Hope to visit Nashville on day.
That’s a TON of people! I must say, I’m quite impressed with your guided tour WHILE running! Kudos on finishing the race!
My Goal is to run with you next year and the video will be even better
Awesome Job So proud of you as always!
you guys make it look like fun! It amazes me how you guys can run that long ! awesomeness !..very inspiring ,almost makes me want to give it a try almost
Great job Jenni! You’ll have to plan the Fox Cities 1/2 marathon in the next couple of years – I’ll do it with you (the route goes right past the house we are in the process of buying!) and your family in the northwoods would love it!
Congratulations on another finish! As hard as the running is (especially in the heat), I can’t imagine trying to video and narrate at the same time! And it didn’t even sound like you were breathing hard
. Thanks for letting all of us share, that was awesome.
Way to go!! You guys did great, and I loved the video! I’ve been going back and forth about whether or not to train for the half next year. After watching your video it got me really excited so I think I’m going to do it! I was training year before last, and one saturday (doing a 10 mile run) I got a stress fracture in my foot at mile 9. Ouch! I wasn’t able to recover in time to do the race. I was so bummed but I think I was training too aggressively, this time I’ll take it much slower. Great job!!
WOW JENNI!!!!!!! You are a TOTAL MACHINE!!!! You didn’t even LOOK like you had run at all!!!! This video idea was AWESOME…thank you matt… and thank you Jenni for doing that!! Even though it probably slowed your time down, you didn’t care, you cared about all us!! CONGRATS to all of you in the video….
I MAY do it again….MAY.
I am sooooo proud of you and your sister! You girls have become beautiful young ladies and I am proud to be your AUNT!!!!
LOVE YA BUNCHES!!!!!!!!!!
