Planned for 1:10 to beat my 1:17 PR, finished in 1:02 💥

Yesterday, I went up against the old version of me, the one who would've given up before even trying 👊🏻

Also celebrating our first race together!
Congrats again on that sub-2, babe!! @paoloromeroo! 🏃

Before I forget and this gets included in my unposted stuff 🤣 Less than a year ago of run dad @erick_chua suggesting signing up for this during a trip to Pinatubo, and here we are 🥹🫶🏽⭐️ Training was going so well until I got injured during the crucial training bloc, but got through it thanks to doctors, coach @martin_kvm who adjusted my workouts, fellow active amiga @shaycstllo who gives great advice 🤍, PT @franciscasala (magic hands indeed ✨️), and the @updreamers (esp Doc Eli who prescribed me meds!).

I was the only Cali Run Club member who got into Tokyo, but I gained a whole lot more from this. Running a marathon takes a lot more mental than physical preparation for me, and I'm so glad I have a lot of that in spades now. Dedicated my run to my fellow CRC marathoners who I trained with (we in this together 😤), my nephew, and to @araikopo and her healthy baby 🥹🤍

I just finished my first international marathon here in Osaka 🎌🥹 @osakamarathon.official

From the moment I crossed the starting line, I knew this race would test me in ways I hadn’t imagined. The weather was wild—IT SNOWED TWICE, the ice stung my face, and then suddenly, the ☀️ was all out. I managed to keep my pace within 7:00-8:30/km, there were moments I slowed down but def maintained back to the original pace. I was starting to walk around 35 km, and then I saw @japreyes. That moment gave me a much-needed boost, and my pace picked up! But at 36-37km, the cramps hit. Still managed to do run-walk, focusing on one step at a time.

At that point, I stopped thinking about how much farther I had to go. Instead, I focused on just finishing each km. When I hit 40 km, I felt a burst of energy. The roar of the crowd, and the sight of Osaka Castle getting closer. And when I finally saw the finish line and my time, I knew, I HAD GIVEN IT MY ALL. 😭

From my first marathon PR 6:30 (TBR 2020)→ 5:39 🥹 and breaking multiple PRs! Maybe it was adrenaline, the weather, the community—or maybe, just maybe, the months of training paid off.

Biggest thanks to Coach @runningseannahswift for all the tips, guidance, and workout plan that helped me improve, and to Coach @martin_kvm for keeping me in check! our cali sessions combined with my running schedule helped me build strength and stay injury-free.🌟

To my family and friends, thank you for your endless support. Even during work hours when you were all tuned in (abang na abang per km) 😂 your sweet and inspiring messages had me in tears the night before, and I carried those emotions with me throughout the race. I love you all so much! 🫶🏻

And finally, to my number one supporter @japreyes , who came all the way to Osaka with me to cheer me on, document my journey, and update everyone, you made this experience even more special. I couldn’t have done my best without you. ♥️

Part 2 of my marathon training journey! 🏃‍♂️

Here are some of my training must-haves. After lots of trial and error, these are the ones that stuck. Been using them since last year, and investing in them was 100% worth it! 🔥

Every runner has their own essentials, but finding what works for you makes all the difference. 💪

What I'm grateful for 🥹 (para in theme sa Thanksgiving EME). But srsly, went into my 2nd race much better prepared; recovered pretty quickly as well! The mindset was already there, so I just focused on strategy. 🤓 The course was also a more interesting and livelier one, I must say (tequila shots, karaoke, and those gd cobblestones 💀).

Thanks as always to run dad @erick_chua for pacing me, and so proud of @bobecarma and Elo for completing their first race despite their busy scheds!

DID IT 😭
The transition to going above the bar feels much smoother 🏆

I've been at this skill for what feels like forever, and just when I didn’t expect it, everything finally started to click. Often, the hardest part is just getting out of my own head—cause honestly, impossible is just an opinion.

If you’re reading this and feeling stuck, just know that one day things will finally make sense, and you'll be glad you stuck with it.

Working on our reps & skills especially on the days we feel our "heaviest"! As Coach @rodge_villanueva always tells us, "it will all add up!" 💪🏼

Active Amigas @nhindemesa @innatrivino working on their skills with heavier bands + weighted reps to clean their form and build muscle endurance 💖✨️

It's always fun working on getting stronger and progressing together - no matter what skill level you may be in! 🤸🏻‍♀️
