💔

I never imagined this day would have come so soon. Anytime I've ever been asked to describe myself the qualities I learned from my Dad have always been the first that come to mind because they're the ones I'm most proud of. My independence, my resilience, my confidence, my love for travel, and celebrating the small wins along the way. My first call when I had to do something I've never done or just wanted moral support when my confidence wavered.

To say I miss him is no where near enough and I don't think I'll ever have the words to describe this loss.

Retired Air Force MSGT and more importantly to me, Dad - thank you, I love you ❤️

Maybe next time Mark is trying to give a pre-race rundown i'll hit pause on Sean Paul's "Temperature"🎶... lol not the best ex*****on but we'll go again in a couple days. Every time you toe the line is another opportunity - onto the next one!

Nice to get out on the roads with a 🔥 group of women on a very windy day! 3 yrs and 3 PRs in a row for 15k! Ready to get back to work and keep the trend going 📈

Thinking of all the incredible women who've paved the way...

The fierce ones forging their paths now.

And the unstoppable ones who will shine even brighter in the future✨

Sometimes you toe the line after a long training block and all the pieces fall into place 🧩

Sometimes you have a *weird* long training block and toe the line bc at some point you have to and it's good to get reacquainted.

it's been a cold snowy month back home but always grateful to spike up and do 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 😅

Thanks for putting together an awesome opportunity! and for sponsoring the women's 5k!
