Detroit Free Press Marathon Weekend. This year I decided to take on the Supreme Challenge which involved running over 30miles in two days, with the last race being the Full Marathon. Of course @madmilesrunclub repped heavy. Thankful as always for the love that @werun313 shows the crew. Super proud of my time as a PR’d by almost 19 minutes even though muscle cramps wouldn’t let me be great. Too many laughs and good times to count.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the end of another year around the sun than by achieving a long time goal while having the love and support of so many people behind me ❤️

Yesterday I completed my 1st Marathon Ⓜ️ 🥇 at the @freepmarathon in Detroit, MI 🇺🇸 & Windsor, CAN 🇨🇦 and today I turned 34 🎉

Shout out to everyone in @stlruncrew who have been so encouraging and supportive of me during this journey, @meganc72 & Nick who signed up to race with me, my fellow crew fam @geri_lynn_arrindell, @shotsfiredbyhel who I met at the expo, another 1st timer @emma_boland who ran the first 19 miles with me, @werun313 for having an amazing cheer station and being so welcoming, and my best friend for making me the best marathon/birthday care package ever!!!

Grateful for all the incredible people that have come into my life this year and the opportunities I have been given along the way. Here’s to another year of challenging myself, building community, and becoming a better version of myself each day.

Some marathon weekends are about more than miles.

Over the last two days, Detroit showed us what happens when movement, community, and belief in one another converge. From shakeout run to finish line, from cheer stations to PBs, this @freepmarathon weekend was about people showing up for themselves and showing up for their community.

I’m in awe of all 30,000 runners. I’m inspired by our @lululemon Detroit Metro Ambassadors and teams. And I’m so, so proud of the city of Detroit and the 10s of thousands of organizers, volunteers, and spectators that brought the weekend to life.

The miles brought us together this weekend. The people made it special.

Detroit, you are electric! 🔥

A MARATHON IS NOT A SPRINT.

It takes hard work. Dedication. Resilience. Sacrifice. And a whole lot of GRIT.

And @j_creed901 has shown us every single one of those things.

Marathon #1 this year: 3:25.
Marathon #2: 3:08.
Marathon #3: 2:59. SUB-3. 🔥

THREE marathons. ONE year. And every time he stepped to the line, he came back better.

At over 215 pounds, Jamal may not fit someone’s idea of what a sub-3 marathoner is “supposed” to look like.

Good. Because running has never been about LOOKING the part. It’s about DOING THE WORK.

This man just ran 1:23 at the Staten Island Half, then turned around ONE WEEK LATER and broke the three-hour marathon barrier at the Detroit Marathon.

And this wasn’t luck. This wasn’t overnight. This was year after year, race after race, mile after mile continuously evolving, continuously believing and continuously showing up.

A military man who understands discipline. A teammate who understands commitment. An athlete who refused to put a ceiling on what his body was capable of.

So many runners dream about seeing 2:59 on that clock. Jamal went after it. Not because it was easy. Because he was willing to do what it took.

Your size doesn’t define your speed.
Your appearance doesn’t define your ability.
Other people’s expectations don’t define your ceiling.

THE WORK DOES.

Jamal, we are beyond proud of you.

Thank you for reminding all of us that running has NO SHADE, NO SHAPE, NO “LOOK.” It only asks one question:

Are you willing to put in the work? Link in the bio to join membership today !

Race morning reel: it was brick 🧱 but the runners know..it’s the perfect temps for running…the views immaculate..the vibes on par..running the ambassador bridge at sunrise was definitely a sight to see..Canada was quiet cheer wise but it was still a dope experience..shouts to @werun313 for the power once we got out the tunnel..definitely needed that ❤️! @freepmarathon owes me nothing! What a great race! Since i restarted my run journey in 2023 a sub 3 half seemed out of reach..shaved approx 15 mins since my last half this year…why would i stop?! Shout out to @pynrs_ for my fave half tights..ima need a large now 🤭..and @brooksrunning for my Hyperion max 3s!! Love these for long distances ..chefs kiss 💋

Medal Monday’s 🏅 Man my first big race and going into this race I didn’t know what to expect other than just to enjoy it and take it all in. No matter how much I knew I could do this doubt tried to settle in plenty times. And even though I wanted a better finish time for myself this was fun experience. I raced my race and finished! The work is just getting started ❤️‍🔥

Big shoutout to @joerobinsonapx & @__lwoods for providing the best running community there is today ✊🏽 As well as everyone from the run club @werun313 ya’ll really the motivation 🏁

I can finally say I’m a 1x 13.1 putting on for the heavy runners lol 💪🏽🫡
