I’m often asked, ‘You really like running for fun, don’t you?’ My answer is usually a smile and a quick, ‘Uh… you can say that.’ Running has taken me through seasons—some filled with ‘runner’s highs’ and flow states, and others where it feels like a never-ending task. But last Sunday at the Oakland Half, I found that joy again. Every hill tried me, but all I could hear was @barack_obutta taking us through Stocker Hills (IYKYK). Each mile, I felt the pulse of Oakland—10,999 runners moving as one. From Lake Merritt to Piedmont, the nerves faded as we took on all 13.1. This wasn’t just another race—this one was personal. Three years ago, I decided to face my fear of cardio and lean into doing something hard… and rewarding. Big thank you to the @keepbouncing_la community for holding space for LA runners in the Bay. @keilynxr —those nonverbal cues and quick sprints carried us through miles 11–13.1. And to my #1 cheerleader, coach 😅, and fiancé @jay.es.be —always the loudest, always in my corner 🤍 Oakland… you might see me again. But for now, I’ll take this PR and medal.

my vlog from this past weekend w/ @adidasrunning x @renegade_running for the @oaklandmarathon ! #oaklandmarathon #adidas #adidasrunning #oakland #bayarea

Been running in @adidas the last few weeks gearing up for the @oaklandmarathon . Started off training in the adizero evo sl. The ride was pretty smooth and cushy but not as stable as I was hoping for. However,(Thank you @bkgomz !! )I was able to switch over to a pair of the adizero adios pro 4 m for a shake out and for the marathon. What a great race day shoe, super light and stable. The energy return and stability was next level, especially hitting a couple tough hills. 1:55:34 later I’m sliding thru the finish line for a pr. Next up sub 1:50. Thanks for the great ride @adidas @adidasrunning

MEDAL MONDAY!!! Shoutout to everyone who crossed the finish line at @oaklandmarathon yesterday, we’re beyond proud of you! Several PRs and first time finishers to celebrate. 💜🤎 Back on track tonight 6:30pm at Kezar Stadium either recovery miles or 3 mile workout and being your medals for portraits with @documentinglegacy 👀📸

We gather in movement and stillness to honor those taken from our communities by the state, and to hold one another through the grief so many are carrying right now. The names shared here represent over 30 people who have been disappeared. We run and walk so they are not reduced to silence or statistics. They are remembered in community. This is not about pace or performance. It is about presence. About remembering we are not alone. If you’ve lost someone, lost a sense of safety, or are simply carrying the weight of this moment, come move with us. 🕯️ Thursday, 6 PM 📍 Western & Slauson Walkers welcome. All paces. All who need space to grieve and breathe together are welcome. #FREEEMALL #ABOLISHICE
