Something that I am extremely proud of myself is my recent accomplishment which was becoming a Nike mentor and running the 2019 Advocate Health Care International Chicago 5K run with my mentee.
I personally never thought I would be able to run a 5k mile run. I’ve always been involved with running since I did track in the 8th grade up until now as a runner for fun. But never did it cross my mind that I would have the opportunity to become a Nike mentor.. but it happened when it was least expected. God has been incredible so good. I was assigned a mentee to mentor regarding preparation for this run.
After the race, I left feeling motivated, energized, and inspired through this race with my mentee.
It’s one of those moments where you are completely out of your comfort zone, and prove yourself wrong.
Once the race was finally over and we accomplished the end line! Nike gave us new Nike sportswear. Being a Nike mentor comes with a lot of opportunities. One of the many amazing opportunities is being able to make an impact on a young girls life through running. There was a chat side provided by Nike with athletes. I walked away with a deeper understanding of the impact that sport and I as a mentor can have on a young girl’s life. It has been an amazing journey to make sport be apart of our daily life, but also making an impact in a young girl’s life was such a humbling experience.
And I can’t complain about all the amazing goodies I received from Nike. New athleisure look who dis. 😉
Love Always,
