Right now we all are witnessing and experiencing frustration, hurt and anger during this challenging and difficult time. In the midst of a pandemic, we witnessed the murders of two African American men Ahmad Arbery and George Floyd and an African American woman, Breonna Taylor at the hands of police officers and two civilian white men. We also witnessed an incident of a white woman falsely accusing a black man, Christian Cooper of threatening her. We are at a breaking point and now is the time for change. This episode we joined together with our community to march for peace, for justice and for equality. Quisha and I both realized we could no longer sit back, we had to get involved. Take a listen as we discussed why we decided to march and where do we go from this point.

Today's episode we had a conversation with the ladies in our run crew, Teresa Boston, Jackie Boyd, Cortina Irons and Yvette Taylor, regarding their journey and transition from training for marathons to training for a bodybuilding competition. The ladies provide some insight on the discipline and commitment to the sport of bodybuilding, as well as their challenges with the training. Sit back take a listen and enjoy. Maybe their journey will inspire you! 

This is a special edition based on conversations we would have had if we were able to run together.  We discuss how we're coping, our running progress and running etiquette. In light of the traumatic events this weekend, we also discussed the protesting occurring across the country over the weekend regarding the killing of George Floyd by a white police officer. We share our views, try to make sense of it all and determine where do we go from this moment. We hope you enjoy and take something from our conversation to inspire you to engage in your own community.
