Gaspy 13.1 ☀️ PR: 1:44:10
Hot, humid, and earned every mile 🥵💦
It wasn’t the easiest conditions out there, but I pushed through the heat, trusted my training, and came away with a new half marathon PR 🎉🙌🏼🏃🏻‍♀️

Not every race feels good — but this one felt worth it❕🤗

Itching to find another one🤫

My sister’s first HYROX!! 🙌🏼 vibes are high! 🎉

#hyrox #hyroxamerica #hyroxtraining #hyroxdc
#hyroxworld

She’s SO strong!! Almost ran over the photographer 😅

She’s still feeling good! 🤩

She killed the stations! 💪🏼

When she took over the wall balls she was going over the target, but she soon found her rhythm 👏🏼

IM SO PROUD OF HER 🥹

How can we convince her to do another HYROX? 😅 she said, the running wasn’t her thing 😂

Now for my second solo race…

I was almost last to leave the skis, starting to get in my head a bit. 😤

Didn’t disengage with the sled, took a break on every half length.

Caught up and left 6th in my wave. 😏 Also almost fell here, trying to hurry and go.

Welp. Just had to keep it moving…

I was feeling my runs 🤙🏼

IYKYK.

Lunges are my best station, I just moved through those as fast as I could.

Wall Balls killed me 💀 the girl next (left) to me was the sweetest soul 🥹🫶🏼 she stopped her WBs just to cheer me on!

Old friends & new friends 🫶🏼

MY LOVE 😍 thank you for your endless support 😘🥰

I missed my Becca & Dante!! Was SO excited to see them! 🫶🏼

Overall, so happy with this race & how I executed the game plan. Had to take my emotions out of it and simply trust it. I broke 1:20, gained a 7 min PB 🎉 & PB in all my stations, except for WBs 🫠

CHICAGO MARATHON 🏙️🏁⭐️26.2 MILES OF HEART, GRIT & GRATITUDE. @chimarathon
My first World Major Marathon, and I came away with a 10-minute PR!! 🥹🎉
This race was no joke. The heat made an already tough 26.2 miles feel even harder, and by mile 17, I hit a WALL. My legs did not want to move, and those last miles became a battle of mind over body. I had to dig deep, take it one mile at a time, and keep reminding myself to just keep going. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t easy, but I kept pushing. And that’s something I’ll always be proud of.

At 34, I can honestly say I am the fittest I’ve ever been in my life. Not because every workout goes perfect, but mainly because of the consistency, discipline, and hard work that have brought me here. I don’t take for granted that I get to challenge myself, test my limits, and do hard things. There is something so special about realizing that your body can carry you through things your mind once thought were impossible.

And I couldn’t have done this without my husband, @_congo_ ❤️ Thank you for pacing me, encouraging me, and staying by my side through every mile. When things got tough, you kept me going, and having you there made this experience that much more meaningful. I’m so grateful I get to chase these crazy goals with you by my side. I’ll never forget sharing this experience with you. 🥹

A huge thank you to Tyler @liverunlift for coaching me and creating a training plan that challenged me, pushed me outside my comfort zone, and required me to put in the work. The results speak for themselves on PRs in both my last two races, HYROX D.C. and the Chicago Marathon! 🎉 The hard work behind the scenes made these moments possible, and I’m so grateful for your coaching!

This marathon reminded me that strength isn’t always about feeling strong. Sometimes it’s about continuing when you feel like you have nothing left. It’s about showing up, embracing the discomfort, and trusting the work you’ve put in, even when every step feels hard.

Chicago, you were HOT, 🥵 HARD, and UNFORGETTABLE. What a privilege it is to do hard things, 🔥🙌🏼🙏🏻#chicago #chicagomarathon2026 #running #nike by @_lauracongo_

Keeping up with the boys! 💨

What do you guys do for fun? “Workout”

Heights Worship night was amazing!! TYJ ✨❤️‍🔥

I’m in a season of maturing in my faith—learning to seek God more deeply, grow in His Word, and trust Him more each day. I’m realizing that growing in faith is a continual process of learning, praying, listening, and allowing God to shape me into the person He’s called me to be. 🤍

Sweaty 🥵 Happy Pace Track

Impromptu 🐝 breakfast date with the bestie @tati_dlszn

I took a last minute flight home to see my mom, to keep it simple. Life is too short, spend it with the people you love.💖 also sorry @rani.cama I know you hate pics. 🙈

Flight essentials ✈️

Forever grateful for this season and this place I get to call home. 🧡

A quick trip to D.C.,but somehow it held a little bit of everything we love 🩵

Celebrating love, reuniting with old friends, running through our old stomping grounds, and eating very, very well. Some places just hit differently when you get to experience them again with the people you love. 🤍

Until next time, 🫶🏽 soonish for HYROX D.C. taken in Washington D. C. by @_lauracongo_

My first solo race—easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but also one of the most rewarding. 🏁 I’m so happy with my result, and even more excited to see how much I can improve and get better from here. Also soreness is real. I couldn’t even stand by the end of it. 😆

A huge thank you to my husband @_congo_ for being my biggest supporter, and to Rachal @rachal.alana for cheering me on. 🎉And thank you to everyone for all the messages and good luck wishes—I felt every bit of the love and support!✨💕

Europe—you were everything I needed and more ✨
So grateful for the opportunity to explore beautiful places, experience new cultures, slow down, and truly reset. This trip reminded me how important it is to step away, be present, and appreciate how big and beautiful the world really is, thank you God. 🙏🏻 Forever thankful for the memories, fed & satisfied tummies, and every moment along the way 🤍🌍✈️
