High Country Running: Consistency, community and courage

I fell in love with running on a mucky cross country course in Ireland.

For an individual sport, it is notable how many of my early memories are filled with shared experiences: rainy chat-filled miles, bus trips of laughter, turning race mud splatters into face paint and persevering through tough races knowing every point mattered for our team performance. To this day, the satisfaction I still feel from progressing as a non-scorer to eventually leading our team remains one of my greatest reminders of the power of consistency and courage.



Jennifer Higgins is an Irish physiologist who came to Flagstaff to pursue professional experience and recently left with rekindled joy for running and pieces of her heart left in this special mountain town.
