Columbus, OH – A central Ohio native awaits word on whether her run for charity qualifies as a world record. Earlier this month, 24-year-old Kalyn Jolivette ran 11 marathons in 11 days. That's 26.2 miles per day for a total of 288 miles. Jolivette grew up in Coshocton. In a conversation with Mike Foley, she says running became a passion beginning in junior high school.
