My journey as a runner started in high school when I joined the track team.  I had dreams of.being a sprinter like my friend Jennifer.  However, I wasn't destined to be a sprinter.  My coach said I had slow twitching muscles instead of fast twitching muscles that sprinters need to explosive.  Did I mentioned that my track coach, Evelyn Lewis just happens to be the mother of Carl Lewis, track and field Olympian who won 10 medals.    

I didn't pick up running again until my kids join track and I started adding running to the other form of exercise that was doing.  I wasn't running long distances just maybe a 5K.  Everything changed when I joined Black.Girls Run in 2011.  It was a gift from God because at.the time I was feeling depressed and lonely.  I did my first marathon on a whim.after helping my friend train for her first marathon.  I have gone one to do 13 full marathons, one time I ran 3 marathons in 3 weeks.  London marathon will be my fourth “World Major Marathon” after London, I will have Boston and Tokyo and I will have completed all 6 “World Major Marathons. Fast forward,  running has given a community of wonderful people who I love and we are so supportive of each other.
