I don't typically share this side of me, but it's part of my journey, and I figured it's time I shared a little more about my "why" when it comes to running and just life in general 🫶🏾

Just three years ago, I was lying in a hospital bed praying to God to heal me. I remember telling Him that if I could just get my health and my body back, I would never take the ability to move it for granted again.

I was slowly dying from fibroids.

And yes, fibroids are noncancerous tumors, but the impact they can have on your body can be life-threatening. At one point, I had lost so much blood that I was told to skip calling my OB-GYN and go straight to the ER because I was at risk of going into cardiac arrest.

That same week, I came across another Black woman's story on IG. Exact same health journey but unfortunately, she went into cardiac arrest and didn't survive.

That stayed with me.

After two life-changing surgeries, I knew my outlook on life would never be the same. But what I didn't fully understand at the time was that my bounce back wasn't going to be quick.

It took me nearly a full year to get my body AND my mind back. I struggled to walk up and down stairs, stand for short periods of time, and even drive. My quality of life looked completely different, and there were some really difficult days.

But I believed there was a blessing waiting for me on the other side.

And here I am, three years later, collecting *another* medal after completing the Long Beach Half Marathon yesterday ✅🏅

So when people ask me why I keep doing this "marathon stuff," this is my why.

Because I remember when I couldn't.

Because I prayed for the body I'm able to move today.

Because every mile means something different when you know what it feels like to have your ability to move taken away from you.

With that, I have no plans of stopping soon. We're just getting started...

@longbeachmarathon, I'll see you in 2027 😉

Strength requires a coach. Conditioning requires a coach. Technique requires a coach. RECOVERY IS NO DIFFERENT.

I take that seriously.

At 555 Vitae, I know what it takes to push your body to higher limits, sharpen your mind, and pursue potential beyond what you thought possible.

When I spoke with Tommy Aaron about his experience with me at 555 Vitae, the message was clear: I push him to prioritize his recovery, and he appreciates it.

That’s what I do. I challenge you to take recovery as seriously as you take your training. Because the work doesn’t stop when you leave the gym. How you recover matters, too.

Like Tommy, you may thank me later. Your body will thank you. Your sleep, your recovery, and ultimately, your performance deserve that same commitment.

You bring the ambition. I’ll help you take recovery seriously.

Attended the 1st-year anniversary of @sfl.training today and got to spend time with some of our favorite people in the community.

My buddy Channing even shared the camera with me for the few minutes I could get him to stop bouncing around. 😂 Oh, the energy of youth.

That kind of energy is something to be cherished.

Happy 1st Anniversary, @sfl.training ! Here’s to many more years of community, connection, and great memories. 🥂 If you’re looking for the very best training facility and trainers in SoCal, hit them up.

This season feels different.

I’ve been deeply committed to showing up for myself physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Training my body. Strengthening my discipline. Diving deeper into God. Driving to Simi Valley to @revelationchurchla three times a week because when God is feeding your spirit, distance becomes irrelevant.

And somewhere in the middle of all that obedience, the VISION became clearer.

I can see where God is calling me. I can also see the parts of me that have to grow, heal, mature, and become more disciplined to carry what He’s preparing me for.

So I’ve stopped negotiating with anything that no longer serves the woman I’m becoming. Habits. Distractions. Relationships. Old versions of myself. I’m releasing them unapologetically, not out of anger, but out of alignment.

There’s a shift happening. I feel it deeply.

And this time, instead of asking God to remove the fire, I walked straight into it. 🔥

Because I finally understand that some fires aren’t sent to destroy you. They’re permitted to refine you.

I don’t need to know every detail of where He’s taking me. I just need enough faith to follow the next instruction.

Higher level. Higher purpose. Greater discipline. Deeper obedience.

I see the vision. I trust the process. And most importantly, I trust God.

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”
Job 23:10 KJV ✨
