Coach Jenni Pascacio
Jenni has been running for most of her life. She ran competitively from the age of 10 until college, specializing in the 800m and 1 mile distances. When Jenni was in her mid-twenties, she quit exercising for about 2 years, gained 20 pounds and was in terrible shape. She later decided to start running again and was shocked at how much fitness she had lost and how hard it was to get back into shape. After about a year of consistent training, Jenni renewed her passion in running. She became fit and eventually worked up to competing in her age group at local races, specializing in the 5k and ultimately worked up to running the marathon. Jenni knows from personal experience how hard it can be to start from nothing and to work up to a race like the marathon.
Jenni has completed 16 marathons (including Boston twice) and 24 half marathons. Jenni joined the Run On team in 1998 and started coaching for Run On in 2006. Jenni completed her first Team Challenge season in 2011, coaching 22 walkers and runners from the North Texas Chapter. Jenni's greatest satisfaction comes from sharing the knowledge she has gained over the years to help her students achieve running goals they never thought possible. Jenni is a Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) certified coach.
In addition to running, Jenni is a Business Support Manager for Bank of America and serves on the Board of Directors for the Dallas | Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Rescue Club, Inc., a non-profit organization which saves over 150 displaced Labrador Retrievers each year.
