Easter morning miles at Oakwood University!
The beautiful campus was glowing in the early morning light as we navigated the course of an incredible OU5K at the 130th Alumni Homecoming. A special shoutout to President Dr. Gina Brown for welcoming runners and getting the race underway!
Impact Update: We added $2,000 to our mission, bringing our total impact to $32,000 for the year! From DC to Huntsville, the running community is showing up in a big way.
See you next year at the OU5K!
Special shout out to for her podium finish - 3rd Place Woman

The Marine Corps Marathon also known as “The People’s Marathon” celebrated its 50th Anniversary. It marked my 15th time across the finish line.
Never imagined it would/could happen again but beat me for the second time this season. First in Tokyo and again at MCM. Her training consistency was unmatched and she stayed focused on her goal of beating me. Hats off for a solid marathon season.
