A finish line brings raw emotion. Happy that the race is over or happy you hit your time. Sad or frustrated that you missed your time. the finish line to me is the sum of emotions from the past 4 months. It’s the hot summers, the early mornings, the tired legs. It’s also the post-run bagels, the long run laughter, the community building.
DIVAS, @_rileycollins@chiragchalla@whiskeyjenger WE DID IT! Words cannot describe the feeling. Pacing you guys on a bike for your longest run. Then doing the damn thing. Running a full marathon together.
Divas 4 Life❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Shoutout @theexchangerunningcollective , for the community. From runs through Shelby down and around the Titans stadium with @6run5_ and then recovering at @lolu.life
Shoutout to my coach @lauren0sborne for being a role model for saying as she does and doing what she says. Coaching a group of us to hit our goals and smashing goals herself while doing a thousand other things
NYC you have my heart and my legs. The most thrilling race of my life. Things didn’t go to plan but the energy and crowd carried me through the race. Forever memorable ❤️🔥
Cincinnati Half Marathon ✅
This block showed me many things. Showed me what the body is capable of, showed me the importance of community and showed me how to love every moment. The good and the bad, the wins and the losses. Thank you to my community for being there for me, LOLU and the exchange. Also to my friends and family much love

@wnrr_nashville the first run club I ever joined holds a special place with me. The list goes on and on. I’m very thankful and grateful to anyone who I had the chance to run with I share this accomplishment with you. Last and very not least @st_teamempower for giving me the opportunity to run these races. None of this would be possible without the generous donors, in total we raised &$3,015 !!! And over the past year we’ve raised over $4,500

9 MINUTE PR!! NONE of that would have been possible without the people around me. The people who pushed me to run faster and further. The people who made running enjoyable. The people who ran with me at the track at 6 am, the people who ran long runs with me. The people who cheered. For the girls that trusted me to help train them for their first Half Marathon!! I share this personal achievement with my team, friends and family because without them this would not have been possible. Special thank you to my coaches Nate, Christina, Bev and Rachel!! And to James and Lauren for the creating The Exchange!
