BREAKING 60: My 2026 Houston Half Marathon - What I did to run a NEW NATIONAL RECORD!

Описание: 4 weeks before this race I called Jon Green and told him I was worried I wouldn’t be ready to compete like I wanted to.. I told him how badly I wanted to go out there and “run to win”. I didn’t know if I could win Houston, but I wanted to stand on the line thinking I had a chance. I knew that’s what it would take to break 60..

With a carefully executed final few weeks that included leaning on Biya and Aaron to push me in the final workouts, I was able to build enough strength and confidence to go for it on Sunday.

Throughout the race I was again pushed by competitors and friends, mainly Ryan Ford the final 15 minutes, and Casey Clinger in the middle… everything had to come together. The weather, the pace, the body, the mind. I’m feeling incredibly grateful it did.

I am so thankful to my team (Verde Track Club & Jesse Prescott) for being there to make this dream a reality. Jill for stepping up as she always does to support me. And of course none of this would be possible without God putting all these pieces together.

Praise God.
