My @nycmarathon race experience in 90 seconds 🍎It's been my dream to run NY for my 1st marathon since I started running (a photo of runners on the Verrazano bridge has been on my vision board for 5 years). And I knew in Gods perfect time I'll be able to run this race. It finally happened yesterday 🙏🏼 It was an incredible experience to feel the energy of 50,000 runners with the entire city supporting all of us. I am humbled and truly honoured to have run and finished the course with every single runner. To those who DNF, still proud of you. It wasn't an easy day. I am inspired by every single person on the course, each of us has our own story, why and how we all ended up here. We all came in different forms and sizes from 150 countries, to run the 5 boroughs of this amazing city. It was 42.6K of the most fun street party, bridges to conquer, a lot of self reflection, mental battle to overcome. But over all it was a celebration of life. Big Big qthank you to my family, friends and workmates @centaurmarketing for supporting me in my 16 week training. My sister @cristina.h.palermo for patiently listening to my thoughts and doubts. To my @nyrr Coaching Lab Coach Rosie who guided me and prepared me both physically and mentally for this marathon. @officialtimyap who always inspires me and gave me a great perspective on the race right before we left. And to @elmerlapena for sharing this experience with me, you made this 1st one more special and I'm happy we ran and laughed together on the first 16K of the course . Love you and I'm so proud of you. Til the next one. I started my 16 weeks training with a prayer to have a meaningful experience, to grow and learn... and wow it was more than what I thought it would be. Amazed by how God used this to transform my mindset and my lifestyle. Extremely grateful for this season in my life.And the journey continues...#godplan #charmsruns #nymarathon #1stmarathon#celebratelife #running #isaiah4031 #solideogloria by @charmainepalermo

Running lessons. Life lessons.@sydney_marathon 🏃‍♀️🇦🇺- Let go of what you can’t control, and focus on what you can- A smile can trick your brain into feeling lighter 😁- Mindset is everything — shift your perspective when it gets tough and the race changes- Training taught me marathons aren’t just physical; they demand just as much mental strength (a lot of meditation helped)- Trust the process, keep showing up, and put in the work — growth isn’t only in the stats, but in how you feel- Stay humble: listen, learn, and seek wisdom from those who’ve gone before you- Gratitude carries you further than strength alone ✨Every thank you, every cheer, every smile made this journey extra meaningful 🙏🏼#runninglessons #lifelessons #allglorytogod #charmsruns #sydneymarathon2025 #coachigemademedoit #pumaph #teamspjnal by @charmainepalermo

Sept 24 2023 Berlin 🇩🇪Thank you so much @berlinmarathon for my 2nd star, PB and an amazing race experience from start to finish. What a great way to see this beautiful city. I did #runforjoy 🏃🏽‍♀️ And I'm now a certified #berlinlegend⭐️⭐️ in the bank ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ more to go @wmmajors What a journey this has been for me. I'm very grateful for my growth this training season, not only in my physical capacity but more so mentally and spiritually. Running and training for a marathon is like going to school for me. I learn something new with every run, the good runs, the not so good ones and everything in between - all these lessons i apply in my life.Shout out to @coachigelopez 🙌🏼 thank you coach for your guidance and training plan that helped me achieved my goal time injury free with good recovery. The plan worked so well, it was a lot of commitment, hardwork and discipline but all worth it. I'm looking forward to the next one (excited and nervous) 😅Big thank you to my family and friends for the encouragement and support, all your prayers and well wishes means a lot to me ((especially my Mama, my biggest cheerleader who comes with me on my 32K out of town races to complete my long runs).@dtorrepalma for coming to see us on this trip. And @elmerlapena my racecation partner. All glory and honour to God 🙏🏼 Sharing one of my fave bible verse that I kept repeating in my mind while running Isaiah 40:13 NIV - but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. #charmsruns #solideogloria #berlinmarathon2023 #charms6starjourney #trainingforlife by @charmainepalermo

Every training block teaches me something different, and I know this one will be all about being intentional ⭐️Not just with the workouts or the numbers, but with the habits behind them - training smart, prioritising recovery, staying injury-free, fueling my body well, and making choices that will help me keep running for years to come.Because my goal isn’t just to finish another marathon. It’s to still be running, healthy and strong for as long as God allows me to 🙏🏼Excited to learn and grow! Let's do this Coach @igelopez 🙌 15-weeks to go til @melbmara 🔥#charmsruns #trainingdiary #melbournemarathon #coachigemademedoit allglorytogod by @charmainepalermo

Doing hard things with joy. That’s the real win for me 🖤This is more than just a race recap - it’s a reminder that setbacks don’t cancel purpose.Grateful to raise funds for mental health through @raceforimpact , celebrate @nourishmovesleep 's birthday and 20+ years of friendship, and experience my first Hyrox with my Mama and family cheering me on 🥹 Best feeling seeing them there @gaiagaiaaaa @gxbelucassx @cristina.h.palermo @iammarkches ❤️This season hasn’t been perfect. My ankle injury made me overthink and doubt myself at times, but I’m learning to keep showing up with faith, gratitude, and joy knowing God’s got my back through it all.Again, He never fails 🙏🏼Shoutout to our coach @gabbrosario for training us so well and making the race feel easier than it looks 🙌Always training and racing in @pumaphilippines 💥Sound on for the awesome energy @hyroxhk Planning the next one already 😅#charmsruns #hyroxhk #allglorytogod #raceforimpact by @charmainepalermo

Met @charmainepalermo when I was 18. From navigating the fashion industry to hitting the clubs in our early 20s, we did it all! ✨ I left Manila 20 years ago, and we both focused on our own paths. Fast forward two decades, and we’re reunited—this time bonding over running, recovery, nutrition, and sports. 🏃‍♀️💨 So incredibly proud of our growth and looking forward to tackling many more races together, Charm! 🏅 by @charmainepalermo

Not where I hoped I’d be at this point, but really grateful I get to do this 🥹❤️This race has become so much bigger than performance for me and my race partner @nourishmovesleep - as we are raising funds for @raceforimpact to support @actionhappiness @makestrongminds @friendshipbench_global - because mental health matters so much.Anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, even constant overthinking… these things affect our lives more than people realize. Healing isn’t always physical. Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones happening quietly in our minds.This fundraiser will help people struggling with mental illness get the support and care they need. Truly, by donating, you are helping save lives.If you feel led to support our Race for Impact fundraiser, I would be so grateful 🤍Donation link is in my bio and my stories. Thank you to my friends that already donated. You guys are a blessing ✨#charmsruns #hyroxhk #raceforimpact #mentalhealth #allglorytogod by @charmainepalermo

I had second thoughts to share this, but I want to be real and document not just the highs of my training, but the lows too.Not the most ideal lead-up to my first Hyrox race… but I’m still showing up. Letting go of what I can’t control, focusing on what I can.Trusting God - because when I am weak, He is strong.And no matter the outcome, He is still good 🙏🏼#charmsruns #hyroxhk by @charmainepalermo
