Off to a Running Start

In 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Since then, I’ve completed four marathons.

I qualified for Boston in three of them.
And at the 2025 Marine Corps Marathon, I qualified for New York. Now we wait for the official announcement in early March. 🤞

Running has been more than miles on a training plan. It has been strength. Discipline. Healing. Proof that forward is a direction — even when the path isn’t easy.

About three years ago, in the middle of rebuilding and training again, I went searching for headphones that could actually handle marathon training. Long runs. Florida humidity. Real sweat. Real miles.

That’s when I found Shokz OpenRun Minis.

They’ve been with me through countless training runs and every marathon since. Reliable. Sweat-resistant. And because they’re bone-conducting, I can hear the world around me when I run solo — which matters.

I’m honored to officially share that I’m a 2026 ShokzStar Ambassador.

It means something to partner with a brand that has been part of my comeback story — not something I tried once, but something I’ve trusted for years.
