I thought my dreams had become reality when I qualified. But then I got on LetsRun.com !!!
The road to #atlanta2020 begins! Beautiful "long run" this morning with Scott Wietecha and Ricky, to whom I am forever grateful for helping me qualify! Atlanta Track Club @runnrc @ Moss-Wright Park instagram.com/p/B47wPMchFc2/…
And my hero Robbie Harms trained with me and supported me all along the way, and then edited the appeal that got me in!
Word on the street is that #atlanta2020trials has hills, which calls for some training on "hills blvd". Can you spot the tiny hill in the distance? Great run with Robbie Harms this morning, including 8 blazing fast… instagram.com/p/B6lnzomjD4i/…
Chose to not use personal bottles at the Olympic Trials and was genuinely concerned I wouldn't be able to twist open the available powerade and water bottles. Atlanta Track Club heard this and is gently loosening the tops for us. How amazing right? The little things. #atlanta2020
