DJ

“If someone had told me years ago, ‘DJ, you’ll become a part time runner lol, sign up for half marathons, and miss the days you can’t run,’ I would’ve laughed. But here I am.

Through past traumas, grief, and mental health struggles, I found my peace in movement. Running became my therapy — a way to process what words couldn’t and release bottled up emotions.

Every mile has helped me rebuild myself. Pushing past pain and fear has shown me what I’m truly capable of. Crossing any finish line — 5K, 10K, half, or full marathons — is more than a race; it’s a reminder of how far I’ve come.

Running didn’t just make me stronger, healthier it gave me a purpose.
