Aww not race photos a week later! Ya girl ran her 2nd half marathon. It’s been a little over a year since I’ve ran a half. But this time we taking it out west! Mannn, Chicago is such a beautiful place. This was my first “solo” trip. Even though I traveled and stayed alone I never felt it one bit. My crew @districtrunningcollective always curates a space wherever we are! A special shoutout to @peace_runners773 family for not only welcoming us into your city, and I allowing us to share space with you, but extending branch even further. I’m talking taking us out for pizza and wings, giving recommendations, directions, cheersquad camaraderie, all of it! And for that it’s always, Respect Out West!

Gratitude to all my people who showed up for me behind the scenes, the biggest part! Special shout out to my sis, @rhon_stoppable for sponsoring my race just because she sees me!
This race was hard AF!! All I could hear was “quit now” after mile 8. My calf’s and glutes were done!! A flat course doesn’t always mean easy. But the goal for me always is to finish! Until next time! taken in West Side, Chicago by @rissy.bobby

Word of for Medal Monday: Gratitude. Sometimes I look at my life in awe of what I’ve already overcome, who I’m becoming and what I have yet to conquer. Yeah, y’all all have your own version of who I may be to you. But the only version that truly matters is the version in which I see myself. And still, I’m grateful to those who have seen many versions of me, grateful to those who’ve rallied in my corner through them all, and grateful to those who continue to pour into me. I’m grateful for autonomy over my life and the chance to wake up and decide how I’m going to show up for myself each day. I’m grateful for this body that still moves the way it does. Ya girl PR’d on accident. Shaved 16 minutes off last years time, on accident. Show some love to yourself today.

“If you don’t run, you must cheer, (And put that shxt on)”. I really find joy in watching people I care about accomplish their goals! Especially “my” folks. It’s been really weird out here being a DC resident due to the current state of our nation! #MarineCoprsMarathon brought lots of energy and reminded us that this is such a beautiful city with so much camaraderie and culture. I am inspired by you all! I am even more grateful that I get to do this with such a great group of people @districtrunningcollective. Running has truly changed my life in the most positive ways. Y’all really gassed me to sign up for my first marathon!!! For encouragement purposes only I encourage you to watch the last slide all the way through.

Yep! Completed my FIRST half marathon. I really can do anything. This is really a cheer squad post though. The unwavering support from my people was everything! And yall need to see this. I couldn’t have gotten through it all without the crew. Oh and yall know who I’m running with! @districtrunningcollective

1. When you see your people at cheer squad!
2. Actual footage of me coming through cheer squad on fire! I was so geeked to get to cheer squad! Seeing y’all at mile 12 really gave me an extra push! No one and I mean no one better than @slimothy.bing on the confetti release. This man is a professional at celebrating others.
3. Me rethinking my existence. The rain was quite disrespectful if you ask me.
4. My people showed up! And it was my mom and little brother’s first cheer squad!
5. More footage of cheer squad. Because why not! Look at the support!
6. I only have like .7 left. Let’s go!
7. Finished. Done.
