This is going to be an amazing year for running! An amazing year for people breaking records and crushing goals!
This all started with the Team USA Olympic Marathon Trials, which were held in none other than Running City USA, Atlanta GA!
I want to start by saying that watching the Olympics or even the trials in person is a once in a lifetime experience! Seriously... if you are EVER presented with the opportunity to watch or be a part of it...Take It!! You won't regret it.
I was given the opportunity to volunteer for the Marathon trials, thanks to the Atlanta Track Club. And there is nothing like being meer inches from the top athletes in your sport and people that you admire greatly.
Congratulations to the top men and the top women who will be taking Team USA to the Olympics!! Best of Luck!
Atlanta's marathon weekend also included the Annual Publix Atlanta Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5k.
I was blessed to be able to run the Half Marathon again this year!
This race had the same course that has been ran for several years, but much more emotion and importance with each step this year. Because part of this course lined up with the Olympic course that the greats ran the day before! It truly is amazing to be a part of such a fantastic community such as Atlanta Track Club.
AND to top it off.. I set a NEW Half PR!! 2:40:32. I shaved 32 min off my time on this course from the year before.
I am beyond blessed to have such a fantastic support system behind me with every step I take. Thank you to my family, friends, and running community for always being supportive. ❤❤
