My name is Jana O’Dell and this is my 2nd year participating in the marathon. I will be doing the half marathon, like last year. A bit about me: I live in West Virginia with my wife, 3 kids, 1 dog, 1 cat and 5 bunnies. I just self published my first dark poetry book, Cyanide Kisses, a week or so ago, so I have been super excited and consumed by that. I have various mental health issues which is why I choose to write- it gives me a sense of calm that nothing else does.
