13.1 miles ✅

Man it’s been one hell of a journey! I was never a runner by any means.. or an athlete for that matter. Something I don’t see talked about enough is the weekly grind and how much training can take out of you, both physically AND mentally.

Social media paints this perfect picture of running and the “cool” lifestyle that comes with it but in reality it can be extremely lonely and grueling (especially through Chicago winters lol). Navigating all of that was tough forsure but I learned to fall in love with the journey. The quiet, weekly runs where I could slowly feel myself getting better and better, step by step. I fell in love with the process.

And I’m especially thankful for the people I’ve crossed paths with along the way. Being able to build a small community around running, have people to hold me accountable and share the highs and lows of training made the journey so much more meaningful. Forever grateful for ya’ll 🫶🏼

Yes, breaking 2 hours is an amazing achievement and I’m freaking pumped about it. But more importantly I’m proud of the discipline, consistency, and mental toughness I’ve built along the way.

Job ain’t finished though.

On bigger and better! 🏃🏻‍♂️👀
