🏃🏽 26.2 x 2

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Nov 9, 2025

This past weekend, I joined the top 1% of the world.

I think everyone gets so caught up in chasing the finish line that we forget to enjoy the journey. The best part of 26.2 wasn’t just proving to yourself that you can go farther than you ever thought possible. It was every early morning, every late night, every midday hot run, running in the cold or the rain, and proving to yourself that you are capable of everything you’ve ever dreamed of—if you truly want it.

I learned a lot during this victory lap, and it was the first step toward my dream of running the Big 7 of the world.

– Believe in yourself to the point of delusion.
I saw myself finishing the race in every training session weeks before.

–the furthest i have ever ran before this race was 18 miles. So I truly believe the human body can do anything if you just believe in yourself.

– smile the entire race and keep thoughts positive.

– I never hit the so-called “wall” or “pain cave.”

– Fuel your body, stay relaxed, and smile. MAN, YOU ARE RUNNING A MARATHON. ENJOY IT.

–The hardest part wasn’t the race. It was showing up to every run leading up to it. NOW BRING THE ENERGYY! #fortwortmarathon

True strength isn’t always about who wins… sometimes it’s about who stands up when you have nothing left

Austin half marathon you were everything I could ask for and I cannot wait to run this again for 26.2 next year!

How bad do you want it and what are you willing to do to go get it.

Breakdown of the race: 🏃🕺

Mile 1-3: Adrenaline through the roof and we came out flying 🏃💨
Mile 4-6: you have the city in the background for scenery, and it is probably my favorite part of the race! (Crowd is insane)
Mile 7-10: rolling Hills and I was dying. The sun just came out and I was slowing down. (Crowd, dj, band helped me revive)
Mile 11: second wind 🏃🏃(WE ARE BACK BABY) (I BELIEVE!)
MILE 12: that Hill is no joke. It was taking souls! It actually looks worse in person than on video. (Crowd helps a lot)
Mile 13: we were flying. Everything we got. (Crowd was insane)
(15 minute PR)

First of many 🏅

Mentally an easy race but physically around mile 12 I was hurting real bad from the toes to the knee ! I loved every second of it and I can’t wait for my next one.

A great time with some great people!

The most beautiful things in life are not just things, they’re people in places, memories and pictures, they’re feelings and moments, and smiles and laughter.
