The birthplace of the modern Olympic Games.

The chance to leave a footprint in this historical landscape.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will stay with me long after the final lap.

What's one place you have run that you will never forget?

Find the gold. ✨

This morning at 4:30 a.m., my car broke down on the highway. I had plans. I had things to do. Then life asked me to pause.

Working toward your goals doesn’t mean obstacles stop coming. Sometimes, while you’re doing your best to move forward, something happens that you didn’t prepare for.

Today, while running, I reflected on how I respond. I can acknowledge the frustration and still ask: What can I learn here? What is my next step?

I’m choosing to look for the gold in the difficulty. There is room to grow, even on a day that doesn’t go as planned.

One breath. One step. Keep moving with purpose. 🙏🏿🏃🏿‍♂️

What is a challenge teaching you right now?

Pulled out some OG BMR gear and even our first branded shoe from @saucony , the vaunted Endorphin Speed 3 for my taper workout today! Ready for the Mayor on Saturday (though it looks like we’re going to get rained on! 😩)!

Who’s running races this weekend? Drop ‘em in the comments! ⬇️

Took me a day to realize the brevity of what just took place! Forget it was 90% humidity. Forget it was warmer than typical. Forget that I PR’ed. Forget that the race organizers found ALL the hills of East Point and Atlanta! 😩🤣

To see a half marathon with my people…the amazing turn out and support. Whew! 🥹 I am so proud! ❤️🖤💚

And big shout to my guy @oscar_camejo for giving me the push I needed at 12.5! You are the definition of the brotherhood! ✊🏿🖤

See yall at the airport next weekend! 😉

By the time the group gathered Saturday morning, I had already run five miles. I started early because I had a long way to go, and I wanted to find my own rhythm before the road got busy.

I ran with different people along the way. Sometimes we talked. Sometimes we just shared the miles. I kept the effort steady, and when I finished, I still had enough in me to cheer for others coming in.

23.08 miles in 3 hours 25 minutes. I’m proud of the run, but what stays with me is how peaceful it felt to move without chasing a time.

Whatever feels long in your life right now, you don’t have to carry the whole distance at once. Find your breath. Take the next step. Let someone walk beside you when they can. We’ll get there. ❤️

Sometimes confidence begins when someone else sees our strength and speaks it out loud.

That is what Kilometer Kids gives young people through running: encouragement, community, healthy habits, and the confidence to keep moving forward.

As I prepare to run 26.2 miles through New York City, I’m inviting 26 people to become Mile Partners.

Sponsor a full mile for $50 or half a mile for $25. Choose a number that means something to you, and I’ll carry your support with me through New York.

Your gift may become the encouragement that helps a child believe, “I’m more ready than I think.”

Miles first. Mission always.

Yesterday began before sunrise at Atlanta Track Club. I arrived early, completed a few miles before the group started, and then settled into a patient, controlled long run.

17.43 miles
10:13 average pace
2:58:03 of disciplined movement

The greatest victory wasn’t the distance—it was knowing when to slow down, when to turn around, and when to stay committed to my own training instead of following the crowd.

After the run, the day continued at the South Fulton Running Summit. I had the opportunity to listen to doctors, running leaders, club founders, and people using movement to serve their communities. I also met Manny Ohonme, founder of Samaritan’s Feet, whose story reminded me that one opportunity can awaken something powerful in a child and that child can grow up to create opportunities for millions.

Today was more than a long run. It was endurance, education, connection, and service all moving in the same direction.

Grateful for the miles. Grateful for the people. Grateful for the mission.

Relaxed. Smooth. Ease.
Run from the soul. 🏃🏿‍♂️❤️

Set the goal in January. Finished early. Now I’m just out here running for fun like a weirdo. 🙃😂

Real talk though, the more you run, the more people appear out of thin air to tell you what you’re NOT doing.

“That’s not a real marathon pace.”
“You’re not even that fast.”
“You’re not gonna make it.”

Sir. You’re eating wings. In a parking lot. At 7am! 🤣🤣🤣 (No shade to good wings! 🍗)

Stay the course anyway. Get an accountability partner or partners! Shout out @bmratlanta

500 down. Still soaring. 🦅
