The Rainsville Freedom Run was AAAAHMAZING this morning. I know Jerry Clifton will sleep for a day, then immediately get started on next years’. Hats off to all the runners that ran a super tough course this morning.

Happy Global Running Day!!!

In 2020, I never would have imagined that running would become such a big part of my life.

What started as a way to rage run to exhaustion became a community, a passion, a podcast, and countless friendships. Along the way, running has taught me that I’m capable of more than I think. And trust me - I’ve needed to pull on those lessons over the past few years.

Today, I’m celebrating every runner. The front-of-the-pack runners, the back-of-the-pack runners, the run-walkers, the walkers, the beginners, and the people who are thinking about starting.

Because running isn’t about pace. (Trust me - I’m friends with the fastest cheetahs there are around these parts. They don’t just TOLERATE my walk breaks - they show up and encourage me no matter my pace!!!) It’s about trying to get better for yourself, your family, your friends, and your community.

Happy Global Running Day.
