Hello Team Montrail! First, thank you for the warm welcomes...what an awesome team. I had the chance to meet Annette Bednosky and Francesca Conte at the Vermont 100. I loved their energy! Looking forward to meeting more of you!




A little bit about me: I am the Mom of 5 little ones, run my own business called Whole Running which supports many Mom's to run, and of course....love running myself! Favorite place to run? Trails of course...Iroquois trail to be specific. Favorite shoes? Montrail Streak...I've worn them off and on trail! I'm all about adventure, new sights, new experiences...out of the comfort zone.




As you may know, I have just returned from 50k World Championships - it was a wonderful experience, however, I had the flu (as well as all 6 of my family members!) and was not able to perform up to ability. These things happen and sometimes we have no control. There are times and hopefully not many, that we have to drop all necessary plans and set sights on the next opportunity to perform. Sure makes you appreciate your health that much more when you are put in these situations. Anyhow, I'll have to add, I was proud to represent the USA and will look forward to doing that again in May for the Worlds 24 hr.




Thankfully, I have plans to do some wonderful trail races in 2010, representing Montrail and will look forward to reporting those as well!




Looking forward to some fun, rockin races with you...and if you happen to be in Central New York...drop on by, would love to take you through my part of the woods!




Wishing you the best,




Jill Perry...a proud runner for Montrail!
