I’m very sorry to be the bearer of terrible news but I came across this today:

It appears that Jenna Gruben passed away this February after an automobile accident.

A great loss to the ultrarunning community.

Holy cow, woman! You are amazing. I just had to laugh during your video. I cannot believe how much fun you were having at like, 40 miles or whatever!!! That is just insane!! I cannot even fathom it. I about died on my marathon and was not happy or chipper when I finished…to say the least. (Well, I was happy to be done…just not happy…Does that make sense?) Anyway, you are an inspiration. What a woman!!! Loved the video. You are fabulous! Truly.

Loved the video, esp the ‘let your body go’ part, of course! Love, love, love the photo of Annie in the gondola with her reflection. That should be framed! And loved this:
“In every long run, I have learned you have a “suffer section”. You just have to know it’s coming and you have to prepare ahead of time for it. The worst thing to do when you are in a suffer section is to just plod along. You need to get into your arsenal and start trying things…”
Sounds like the makings of a new mantra to me.

Simply amazing, I could not run for 50 miles and still smile like you did at the end of the video.

I am about to complete my first marathon in November and 26.2 miles feels like it will never end, how can you do 50 and even think about 100!

Hi Sonja, I just love reading your adventures. I read about your 50 miler just before doing my training run for the day and it really reminded me about the joy of running. Its spring here and I ran through the local park which is full of spring lambs and trees in blossom. Just marvellous. You go girl!
