Three Robin Hood staffers are running in the ING New York City marathon on Sunday as part of Team Robin Hood.  Meet Jessica and support Team Robin Hood.

Robin Hood: How long have you worked at Robin Hood?

Jessica: Almost one year.  I joined right after last year’s marathon.

RH: What is your role at Robin Hood?  

Jessica: I am part of the development team.  I work in Donor Data & Analytics.

RH: How long have you been training?

Jessica: I started training in the middle of August – just about 12 weeks.

RH: Have you ever run a marathon before?  If not, what’s the most you’ve run so far?  

Jessica: This will be my third marathon; second in NYC!

RH: What has been the hardest part of training?

Jessica: The hardest parts were training through those hot, humid summer days; and then getting a bad cold as soon as cold weather struck, which sidelined me for about a week.

RH: Is anyone coming to cheer you on at the race?  

Jessica: Yes!  My husband will be out there following me along the course, a bunch of friends will be scattered throughout the five boroughs and some people who live far away will be there in spirit and tracking me online.
