A year ago I made a decision. Today I’m still showing up.

Started this journey at 238 lbs after a doctor’s visit that made me take a hard look at things. Didn’t have a finish line in mind — just wanted to be better. Somewhere along the way the consistency became the goal.

365 days on Tonal. Down 45+ lbs. First 4-Miler. First 5K. More races already on the calendar — 8Ks, 10Ks, and a HYROX relay in June.

Still a work in progress — and that’s exactly what excites me. The best part of this journey isn’t where I’ve been. It’s where it’s taking me.

I finally made it, the best yet to come! 🥇

FINALLY got that 5K under 30 minutes! It’s been my #1 goal since I started actively running back in March! I’ve been close. Been frustrated. But ultimately, I kept running and…

Today: 29:46. PR. 😤 And the part I’m most proud of?
9:41 → 9:39 → 9:33!! I got faster when it got harder.

Goal checked. New standard set. Now we see how low we can take it. 🫡

Yesterday we raced. Today we recover… but we still run. 🏃🏾‍♂️

Body still feeling all 5.55 from yesterday, so today’s 5K was EASY easy. 😂 3.14 miles, no pace to prove, no goal to chase. Just moving, recovering, and counting my blessings along the way. 🙏🏾

Sundays are for 5Ks. No exceptions. 🤙🏾

Weather was perfect today, vibes were even better. Ran the Triple Nickle Remembrance Run, 5.55 miles honoring the 555th, first and only Black paratroopers in the U.S. military during World War II.

Me and my LB pull up and it’s a sea of purple and gold everywhere 😂 had to hold it down for the Alphas out here. 🤙🏾

57:22 on the clock. Not my personal best, but hit my goal of staying under that hour mark! Half marathon training keeps moving. 🪂

Walk by faith, not by sight. 🤲🏾

I’ve noticed that sometimes along our journeys, we may lose track of the ultimate goal or task at hand by focusing on the immediate results or present circumstances.

That’s ok. What’s not ok is keeping that focus… just keep walking on. Trust in the process and remember the reason you started your journey to begin with. Stay faithful. Stay diligent. Believe. 💪🏾

Next weekend is the @triplenicklerr , a run held in Fort Bragg, NC to celebrate the legacy of the 555th Parachute Infantry. The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, known as the Triple Nickle, was the first all-Black airborne unit in U.S. military history. 🪂🪖🎖️

My goal is to complete the race is under 55 mins! Wish me luck! 🫡

Whoa! 😳

Finished up the 1st week of “10 Week Hybrid Formula” with @ackdntstp today! With a full focus on a mix of Heavy Lifting and Aerobic Cardio, I’m more than convinced that I’ll be accomplishing a few physique goals by the end of the program! I’m gonna get these Abs or die tryin’ 😆🫡

A 36-hour bug last Friday turned into a full week of fighting fatigue and dehydration just to get back to normal.

Today I got 8.6 miles back. Longest run in three weeks and it felt like reclaiming something.

Body doesn’t forget the work. It just needed time.

Still building. The best is yet to come.

4 weeks and 360K+ lbs of volume later, ‘Pumped’ with @joerodonis is complete! ✅

Had a minor setback during the last week of the program by battling a stomach bug/virus that left me dehydrated. But I bounced back and finished the program strong. Results speak for themselves but looking forward to the next program.

Still building. The best is yet to come.

POV: Legacy Courts with @lwmtennisclub 🎾

Got to spend yesterday morning on the court for a special one… a fundraiser in partnership with my chapter, @philambda_aphia, benefiting the Alpha 7 Youth Outreach Initiative.

Three coaches running clinics, a full morning of tennis, and getting to be active alongside my wife made it even better. Closed it out with a toast to celebrate the collaboration. Good cause, good people, good time.

Community over everything.
