Episode 22: Running Away from Running

Jamicka Edwards and I met through a mutual connection, Jami, and gosh am I thankful for the introduction. During this episode, we talk about: How Jamicka grew up in south Chicago and was a single mother of three Why she wanted to be in the Marine Corps but ended up in the Army How she used to run away from running and do just about anything to get out of it All of the things it takes to run a race Her first races and the relationships she got out of them How she doesn't train 🤯 and how she's never hit a wall Running 42 miles on her 42nd birthday! Running 40 races the year she turned 40 here's a link to the video that documents the day The best marathon advice she got from a stranger Her goals for the future (they're big!) The road to Berlin and NYC Jeremiah 29:11 and what it means to her If Jamicka inspires you, send her a little something to surprise her on Cash App at jamicka97.
