Los árboles no saben que estamos ahí para admirarlos. El viento no cambia de rumbo para ofrecernos un instante de paz. Las hojas caen sin saber que alguien puede encontrar belleza en su caída.
Pero nosotros sí podemos detenernos, contemplarlo todo y sentirnos profundamente agradecidos de estar vivos para presenciarlo. 🩷 by @aly_mex36

Let’s allow the trails to keep bringing us together, the forests to lift our spirits, and the muscle soreness we carry after wandering across our Mother Earth to remind us of how alive we are, and how grateful we feel to have healthy bodies that carry us to the most beautiful places, alongside wonderful people. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Dejemos que los trails nos sigan uniendo, que los bosques levanten nuestros corazones y que el dolor muscular que queda después de recorrer nuestra madre tierra, nos recuerde lo vivos que estamos y lo agradecidos que nos sentimos por tener un cuerpo sano que nos lleva a los lugares más hermosos, acompañados de gente maravillosa.🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Gracias a todos por la aventura de ayer!

We can teach a child to use a computer before teaching them to sit beside a crying child. We can teach someone how to build a business before teaching them to recognize when ambition has made them indifferent to the people around them. We can give people the ability to reach millions while never teaching them to listen carefully to the one person standing in front of them. Perhaps one of our greatest mistakes is assuming that becoming more advanced automatically makes us more compassionate. It doesn’t! Intelligence can help us understand how the world works. Compassion helps us decide what to do with that understanding. And compassion, unlike a technological skill, cannot simply be downloaded. It has to be cultivated. by @aly_mex36

All I can say is: I got my banana and my medal. That was the goal. by @aly_mex36

As a trail runner, I can say that this first road marathon was enough for me to check that experience off my list. 😅

I’m proud of my result, especially because I didn’t train on the road. My long runs were on trails, and my shorter runs were on the treadmill. You’ll probably see me running shorter distances on the road (to support good causes), but not another marathon. 🫣

My place is on the trails, running ultras.

I truly believe that if I had the opportunity to choose where I would take my last breath, the mountains would be my first pick.

Today, I saw two runners on the ground, and it broke my heart. At the same time, it was scary to witness. I don’t think I’ll be able to get those scenes out of my head anytime soon.

The only thing I can say right now is that I’m deeply grateful for my body. I promised myself I would listen to it better. And if we are going to suffer and endure pain, I want it to happen somewhere beautiful - somewhere I can actually enjoy being.

That doesn’t mean today’s experience wasn’t enjoyable. Quite the opposite. I saw so many familiar faces. The volunteers at the aid stations were amazing, and the close friends cheering us on gave me the adrenaline boost I needed, especially when nothing seemed to help my cramping legs.

Honestly, I don’t know what went wrong. I fueled well, ate my salt sticks, drank Scratch electrolytes, drank enough water, and even peed twice. 😂 My nutrition felt good. No stomach issues. No nausea. I had pickle juice, a cup with Coke, and a piece of banana. All this besides my gels every 3 miles…

Just the damn cramps. For more than half of the full marathon. 🫠

And maybe that’s part of what my body was trying to tell me today.

I’m proud of what I did. I’m grateful I got to experience it. And I think I’m even more certain now about where I belong. 🗻🌲

Thank you, friends, for being part of this first marathon experience and making it more exciting! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Lista para ir a estorbarle a los atletas de élite mañana.😌😅

This will be my first road marathon and also the first big adventure for my Speedland RX: CCD shoes. They will go out to see the city with me tomorrow, and leave the treadmill for later.

See you tomorrow friends! Let's go get that banana and the medal! 👌🏼

A week out and recovered from @gobeyondracing Mountain Lakes 💯 and I’ve finally had the chance to process what was just accomplished.
•
After literal years of peaks and training for this distance, only to be let down by fires and cancellations, it feels indescribable to finally put this in the bank as my 100 mile debut. Sub24 is just a cherry on top of an already sweet weekend.
•
Spent 70 miles of trail with my brother from another mother @noahgoodwintraining , working through every curveball that was thrown our way.
Exactly how we trained for it over countless hours, days and weeks. More on that later but I wouldn’t have had it any other way! 🫂
•
All in all, I had an amazing day/night! Not one shoe adjustment or change all day. Thank you @runspeedland as always. No foot pain or issues for 23 hours says everything!
As usual, @pathprojects kept me beyond comfortable and worry free during the big temp swings. More on these choices later but in one word, “LOMOND!” iykyk
•
Most importantly, to my tribe, my crew, my people… This would not have been possible without everyone of you! It takes a village… actually it takes more than that and you all went well above and beyond. Endlessly Grateful and I LOVE you every single one of you!!🙏🏼
•
Another? Definitely!

Tonight I’m grateful for the simplest miracle:
being here, breathing, moving, and feeling the earth beneath my feet.

Esta es una de las mil razones por las que amo tomar videos de los lugares donde voy. Hay momentos en los que necesito un recordatorio del porqué estoy aquí. Y sobre todo, recordar cuál es mi misión en este mundo. by @aly_mex36
