I didn’t race. I experienced the 🎖️
My body told me what it could do… I went with that and became a BOSTON FINISHER!

I am grateful to the for this opportunity of a lifetime! Thank you.

This was my 4th star…only 3 more to go!

Who would have thought that I would be doing this🤯

Going to keep going until God tells me otherwise❤️

I will be honest.
I was not sure about this.
I even went as far as saying I didn’t want to do it and wish I could defer.

Looking back I guess could I have done “better” if I had the chance to wait…maybe🤷🏾‍♀️but in the sport of running you can do everything right and not get the results you really want.

So, my only prayer once I decided to go through with running the was that my body showed up in the best way it could. My doctors said it was ok, but don’t push yourself, just run. If that meant slowing down, I would slow down.

I am so proud of myself because I listened to my body and really just did what felt comfortable.

Thank you to the for allowing me to be a part of something I never thought was possible.

Thank you to everyone who showed me love and support. I cannot say the names because it was so many people! I honestly was shocked. I am still overwhelmed.

My incision sites hurt.
I felt the hills.
I held back tears.
I let some tears flow.
I held my head up.
I gave my best effort…

And it was enough.

I am officially a finisher🥺

Apparently, surgery and a concussion weren’t enough to stop me from showing up to the 🤷🏾‍♀️

This Boston build wasn’t perfect. I had 10–11 weeks to train post myomectomy, and right in the middle of it, life said “let’s make this interesting” with a concussion from a car accident. There were moments I questioned if my body would cooperate, if my mind would stay steady, if showing up was even the right call.

I have every reason to sit this one out…but I am here and will soak it all in!

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Thank you to the Black Unicorn Marathoners and my BGR Boston family for the love, the encouragement, and the reminders that I don’t have to do this alone. That support hit different.

So here we are. On the edge of something big.

I’m running the Boston Marathon tomorrow. 🦄🏁

Lately I have had to do lots of laughing…not to avoid crying but to allow my body to feel the reality that disappointments and joy can show up strong at the same time…but trust me crying is a thing over here.

I have jumped on and off the apps but have not been as active on here lately. I realized how low my cup was and decided that it was ok to not feel “obligated” to be present. During that time different things have happened which is really just how life goes!

I’ve had some newer health challenges as well as business changes that once I actually learn more about it all myself I will share. I have always tried to share quickly but now Im learning that urgency can be a distraction in itself.

What I will share is that God has shown me that He really is faithful. He is always there. It’s just that our real life experiences can cause our views to shift in a way that can block our view. Over the years, I have gone in and out of that reality, but now I see.

After my National Walking Day event, I was able to talk to lots of people and so many of us are carrying some heavy things. BUT many of us showed up to walk! We laughed together…moved together. It was good.

I encourage many of you who carry heavy things right now…move your body and connect with others that can make you smile….and remember God is in the midst.

There’s something powerful about seeing a community come together for one purpose: movement, connection, and better health.

Yesterday’s National Walk Day event - National Walking Day with Dr Jus & Friends filled me with so much gratitude. Year after year, I don’t take this opportunity lightly. To be able to lead, serve, and stand alongside organizations that are committed to the well-being of our community is truly an honor.

To every organization that showed up, supported, partnered, and poured into this event…thank you. Your presence matters more than you know. It’s not just about a walk… it’s about representation, education, prevention, and showing people what’s possible when we prioritize our health together.

To everyone who came out and moved their body, asked questions, laughed, and connected…You are the reason I continue to do this work.

Moments like these remind me why I started. Why I continue. And why I will always advocate for our community to take ownership of their health early, consistently, and unapologetically.

Already looking forward to doing it again next year. 💫

Thank you to the Nc100BW, Inc. - Pensacola Chapter for the 2025 Health Advocate of The Year Award.

Also, major thank you to my mom Retired Judge Joyce Williams & Kelle Daniels for accepting this award of my behalf.

Health Advocacy can come in many forms, yet my hope is that my life is an example for others to see even the smallest thing I share and take action.

Because too often, especially in our community, we wait. We wait through pain, through discomfort, through uncertainty. And by the time we seek help, we’ve already been carrying far more than we should have had to.

My journey with fibroids, my work as a pelvic floor therapist, and my passion for movement have all shown me one truth: our bodies are always speaking. Learning to listen is pivotal.

Thank you❤️

As a runner myself, I know there’s so much nuance in training. Mileage, experience level, recovery, goals…none of it is one-size-fits-all. But I also remember what it felt like to be brand new to the space. No run club yet. No coach. Just trying to figure out where to start and hoping I was doing it “right.”

That’s why conversations about minimum mileage matter. Not everyone starts with a big base, and the reality is many runners need a simple entry point that feels doable. Research-backed training approaches often suggest beginners gradually building toward roughly 15–25 miles per week with long runs around 10 miles, while more experienced runners may train closer to 20–30 miles depending on goals. 

I’m grateful to be featured in this piece with Runner’s World discussing how runners can think about mileage, consistency, and building endurance in a sustainable way.

If you’re a new runner trying to figure it all out, trust me—you’re not behind. You’re just getting started.

We are using the word stress ALOT right now. Let’s bring some education behind the word.

The difference between NORMAL and ABNORMAL stress isn’t how much you have it’s whether your body gets to recover.

Eustress (“good stress”) = short bursts that motivate and sharpen you ✅
Distress (“bad stress”) = chronic, unresolved, no recovery time ❌

If you’re always “fine” but always exhausted….that’s not normal. That’s your body asking for a reset.

Stress isn’t a mood…it’s a measurable biological event. And most of us are living in a chronic state of it without realizing it.

How to start tracking stress:

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Here’s how to begin noticing your stress before it becomes chronic:
1️⃣ Track your baseline - Note your energy, sleep quality, and mood each morning. Even a 1–10 scale daily tells you more than you think over 2 weeks.

2️⃣ Watch for the physical signals first — Tight jaw, shallow breathing, disrupted sleep, and frequent illness are your body’s early warning system. Most people ignore these until they become impossible to.

3️⃣ Log your triggers, not just your feelings — Don’t just write “I felt stressed.” Write what happened right before. Patterns will emerge faster than you expect.

4️⃣ Check your recovery — After a stressful event, how long does it take you to feel calm again? 20 minutes is normal. Still wired 3 hours later? That’s a signal worth paying attention to.

5️⃣ Use your resting heart rate as data — A consistently elevated RHR (above your personal normal) is one of the earliest measurable signs of chronic stress load. Most smartwatches track this for free.

The goal isn’t zero stress. It’s knowing when your body stopped recovering because that’s when stress stops being normal and starts becoming damage.
