If you’re training for an endurance race and skipping your easy runs… you’re missing the point. 👇

Easy running isn’t “junk miles.”
It’s where the magic actually happens.

✨ Builds your aerobic base (this is your engine)
✨ Trains your body to burn fat efficiently
✨ Strengthens your heart without overstressing it
✨ Helps you recover so you can show up stronger on hard days

And here’s the truth most runners don’t want to hear:
If you can’t slow down… you’re limiting how fast you can go.

Easy runs should feel:
✔ Conversational
✔ Controlled
✔ Almost too easy

Because the goal isn’t to prove your fitness…
It’s to build it.

Run slow today so you can run strong on race day. 🏁

I run because it makes me feel alive. Out there, I get to push myself and find strength I didn’t know I had. It gives me space to breathe, to think, to let go of everything else for a while. I run because it grounds me, but it also lifts me—it’s freedom, adventure, and joy all in one. I run because it shows me who I am and reminds me of everything I’m capable of.

As a typical social media post, this highlights the smiles & the excitement of the moment.

What you don’t see is the pain, the tears, the doubt, the fear. Not just of the day….of the entire process, time, work, and energy it took to get here.

Marathons are a perfect metaphor for life:
Ups. Downs.
High ups. Low downs.
Pain. Happiness.
Doubt. Achievement.
Work. Ambition. Goals.
Discipline. Discovery.
Consistency. Procrastination.
Failure. Failure. Failure.
Wins. Self love. Self respect.
Down talk. Self empowerment.
Faith in the unseen and trust in the process.

Roller freaking coaster!

But at the begging & end of it all: People who believe you can when you doubt your capacity and remind you who you are.

To my people, you know who you are. 🙏🏼 If you are reading this, you are smiling as you are reading this because IYKYK. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Thank you for bringing so much to my life. I carry you with me. Always and forever.

And between them there is a select few who I get to call my FAMILY….And as I am writing this I’m crying thankful tears. My hubby, my babies, my mom, my brother, my sister, and my dad who watches me from heaven.

Dear Lord, you are the giver of life and the greatest source of love. Thank you for your blessings. Thanks for choosing me to be here living this life. Amen 🙏🏼

Who is this woman?

The same little girl that wanted to travel the world and fall into adventures. The one who wanted to be strong to help others. The one who said would rescue every puppy. The one who hugged people because she needed hugs. The one who would do things, even when she was scared. The one who dreamed of a happy home.

That little girl would be so proud of the woman she would become.

Keep going little girl. You got so much more to see.

Nothing is impossible. Dreaming big makes people uncomfortable. Dream away my friends.
