I'm In! The 2014 New York City Marathon

Yay! I've worked hard on this all year so I'm really happy I'm finally in. Yes, I still had to pay a hefty sum, but I'm walking on clouds so it's okay...lol. I'll be raising awareness for a Nigerian charity as part of my run campaign, so if you know any charities you think I should know about, please reach out :)

Cheers Eights & Weights! 

The Accra International Marathon Results!

We have been raving about the Accra International Marathon that took place in Accra, Ghana last Sunday.  And you know by now that Eights & Weights and Fit4Life partnered to sponsor two ladies to run in the half marathon. Well, I have great news! The ladies we sponsored to run in the race, Elizabeth Azuure and Rosina Titi of the High Morale Academy in Ghana, came first and second in the half marathon in the female group!

Preparing for the Run for a Cure Africa Lagos: How do you Track your Progress?

Because we live in the age of technology (Thank God!), we can incorporate technology in our race training as well. I find that I really like to be able to track my time with each run and upload my results to my computer so I can compare runs and see how well I am doing. This is especially helpful when training for races.

We are Sponsors for the Accra International Marathon!!!

Do I sound excited?! Do I? Do I? Yes, that's because I am! Running is a particular passion of mine, and I have always wanted to promote running in West Africa, especially because it is not yet that popular. There are not as many races to participate in, and where there are, they don't get the publicity they deserve. Those who can afford to run and participate in races usually don't. And those who are interested and have the talent to race professionally usually cannot afford the training, the tools, the time, or the fees. But we are slowly getting there.

The 2013 Brooklyn Half Marathon

The Brooklyn Half Marathon is one of those races I have wanted to do every year, but couldn't because something always came up on the same day. So when spots opened up for this year's run and I was available, imagine my excitement!
