5K EVERY DAY – Day #338

(Opening clip — the first line from “Save Me”)

On this date back in 1984, Jason DeFord — better known as Jelly Roll — was born in Tennessee.

(Clip — the emotional hook from “Son of a Sinner”)

His nickname came from childhood…
but his story?
That came later.

He started off rapping, fell into dealing, addiction, and a long list of arrests.
But after getting out of jail in 2008, he did something most people never do —
he turned the whole thing around.

(Clip — “Need a Favor”)

Jelly Roll built a brand new life by owning his past instead of running from it.
That’s what people hear in his music.

Show up.
Fix what you can.
Keep moving forward.

Today — Day 338 — I ran.
