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
