Ran into some new running friends cityislandhbg before my 5 mile “cut down” run. Rich and I have thrown down some long runs together and it’s always a good conversation! Always good to be with other runners!
Goal was to start at 6:30 then drop it by 10 sec/mi for the next 4. I ran 3 and felt GREAT- but then some head wind had me beat. I stopped and ran the last two strong.
here are the splits:
6:20, 6:15, 6:05 (break), 5:57, 5:53
not perfect, but not bad.
ran in the saucony Endorphin Pros- their plated racing shoe. Super light, and because of its shape this shoe really rocks you forward onto your toes! They are fast! (it’s pronounced sock-a-knee by the way!)

I told you y’all – Ms Wanda has a great sense of humor! My goal tonight was to make her feel safe, seen and comfortable 🤎

During a conversation between alisonmdesir and Ahmaud Arbery’s mom, Wanda Cooper-Jones, Atlanta Track Club announced an addition to the adidas Atlanta City Games on May 6: the Run with Maud 5K Run/Walk.
Taking place the morning of May 6, the 5K will celebrate the life of Ahmaud Arbery and raise funds for the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation.
The announcement came at a community conversation hosted by the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation and Atlanta Track Club Foundation on Friday evening, three years after Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed while on a run in Brunswick, Georgia. The conversation was led by Cooper-Jones and Alison Mariella Désir, author of “Running While Black.”
Learn more about the conversation and register for the 5K at the #linkinbio.

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE FIRST ANNUAL #RunWithMaud 5K this May in Atlanta!
The race will be held in person in collaboration with atlantatrackclub but will also have a virtual option for those who can’t make it here.
Wanda Cooper-Jones didn’t choose to be an activist. She was thrust into the role because her son was murdered. And yet, she is powerful and remains warm, kind, FUNNY! Most of all, she is dedicated to a future where Black boys won’t ever have to worry about #RunningWhileBlack and get access to the mental health resources they need.

The warmth in Atlanta is palpable- and I don’t mean the weather (tho it was 78 degrees today)! So much love it felt like a family reunion.
We ran and walked for Ahmaud tonight, honoring his memory and building his legacy by supporting the ahmaudarberyfoundation.

Thank you moversandpacers runningpartners blackmenrun and all of the other organizations who made tonight possible 🤎
2.23.23. We invite all local runners & run clubs to join antiracistrunclub & impalaracing for a 2.23 mile run to honor Ahmaud Arbery. We’ll meet at the SE Corner of the track & do 9 laps, together but at your own pace. We also ask that folks donate what they can to the ahmaudarberyfoundation.
It’s been 3 years since his life was tragically taken by white supremacist murderers. He deserved to live a long life & run those miles without fearing for his safety, but this is the devastating reality for so many Black people. There is so much work to be done to dismantle the systems that harm BIPOC communities— but for a moment, let us pause and celebrate Ahmaud’s life.
“I am grateful to honor my son by creating a safe space for Black boys and their families to align their inner strengths with the resources we provide through this foundation to help usher them on their journey towards mental wellness.” -Wanda Jones, Founder & Ahmaud’s mother

“Why was she running at 4:30am?”
.
I’ve trained for a marathon while working 3 jobs. I’ve run at 4am, I’ve run at 11pm. Usually in a sports bra and booty shorts, usually in headphones, usually without a weapon.
.
The first race I trained for, probably 80% of the people in my life discouraged me because my schedule didn’t allow me to “be safe.” I told them to go fuck themselves then, and I’ll do it now. Because that SHOULD be safe for us. Running in the dark is often the only option if you work, have kids, need to do a certain amount of mileage. The solution is not women/POC/queer runners to stop running. It’s for men to stop killing and attacking us, and for the onus to not be put on vulnerable populations to “protect” ourselves when it’s literally impossible. We can’t always choose when or where we get our miles in.
.
This shouldn’t be commonplace, it should be shocking and unacceptable, I’ve been harassed in broad daylight, running with friends. All the times I’ve heard about attacks on runners I haven’t let it stop me, but having to sit with that fear while also cranking out 10+ miles before sunrise isn’t sustainable or ok. #runwithmaud #runforeliza #runforallofthem
We had tired written all over our face after this one. Other than that the we had a damn good outing! 🏃🏾💨🏁

This Saturdays run was definitely Folgers ☕️in my cup. We practiced running at a conversation pace at around 9-9.5 minute per mile. This was one of the best conversations I’ve had while running and really set the week. Here’s to the run. 🙏🏾🏃🏾💨🏁

We have legal resolutions but we should never forget the injustice that occurred on this day.
I put in 2.23 to #finishtherun for Ahmaud. #ripahmaudarbery 🙏🏾😔
#blackmenrun #blackmenrunboston #blacklivesmatter

Everyday I step out of the house, I think about how this could have been me. Everyday I wake up I think about how I don’t want this to be my son or my students. Everyday I pray for a better world, so I continue to run with Maud. Everyday I continue to do the work to make this a better place. Everyday I ask you to love, respect, listen to, and have compassion for those different from you. 🙏🏿✊🏿♥️

It’s been two years since Ahmaud Arbery was murdered by three white men in Georgia. Yesterday, Ahmaud`s killers were found guilty of federal hate crimes. While yesterday`s verdict is meaningful because it holds the guilty accountable, true justice would be Ahmaud being alive today.
Today — and always — we`re thinking of Ahmaud`s mother, loved ones and community.
