From pitch to pavement. A full circle moment.
.
Excited to announce that i’ll be running my first marathon, a world major, The Chicago Marathon, along side Chicago Fire of MLS, which so happens to be my first signed professional soccer team.
Many of you know me as a creative director but I’m
a former soccer player. This journey began as a 5 year old inner city kid chasing alignment. My passion for the game and purpose to change my future started pulling in the same direction and I was
blessed with opportunities that shaped who I am today.
This journey continues as passion and purpose aligns through mentorship, service, and fundraising.
Growing up, my youth club motto was, Against All Odds” and this is what this marathon means to me. I’ll be running to support the youth with access to sports, wellness, and educational opportunities in underserved communities.
If you would like to support, the link is in my bio..

Not gonna lie…
I’ve been sitting with a lot leading up to this…
The distance is one thing but….it’s the weight of what it’ll all mean at the end…
.
Here’s what comfort never taught me: What’s earned through pain is cherished, what comes easily is forgotten.
I’m not the same person who started this.
And that’s the point.

Confidence is momentum in full stride. When you move with purpose, show up different, and execute, things shift.
It’s earned energy..

Singlet:
W’s to the hometeam @atlantarunclub in colla with Greg Itahara….
These are 🔥🔥🔥:

- Mos def designed for elite performance.
.
.
Runners:
@Nike Alpha Fly 3…
So many people asked about these during the race so I decided to do a review:
✔️
✔️
The Nike Alpha Fly 3 elevated my running experience. The ultra responsive foam, carbon fiber plate, & AirPods gave off an amazing energy return to my joints and muscles. It also accounted for smooth transitions in having to constantly maneuver. It’s most definitely a fast shoe and should only be worn for running distances greater than 5K. An excellent choice if chasing peak performance..
.
✅Pros
- Super lightweight despite broad size
- Best in-class breathability
- Excels in 10k + distances
- ZoomX foam delivers massive energy return
- Aids in forward momentum especially when legs are fatigued
- Smooth transitions.
🛑Cons
- Heel strikers might wear down the outsole quickly
- The arch could be a challenge
- It’s sock lined - Wide feet may be a problem
- The base is thin and light. Be prepared to hit the ground and keep moving.
🗣️NO RUNNA DEAL ✍🏾…
