E101 Kamilah: More than a runner

Kamilah goes way beyond sharing her story. Her wisdom in both life and running really came through in this episode and there is so much to learn from her. As an elite track athlete she talks about using trail running as a place to run for the love of it, and not for the competition. We talk about the Black Lives Matter Movement and how we can all do our part to create a more diverse running community.
