Global running day aka the perfect excuse to yap more about my first marathon! It’s genuinely crazy to me that I finished 26.2 miles this weekend. 🥹 I didn’t pick running back up until my mom got really sick- it gave me space to think, get out of my own head, and reminded me to keep moving forward. Running reminds me that we can do hard things, over & over again. 🦋

The amount of time that goes into marathon training is crazy. Since January it’s been a lot of early morning runs before work, late night runs after work, Saturday runs, and then long run Sundays. There were so many days I wanted to quit, but training for this marathon was a commitment I made not just for myself, but also my Barry’s family ♥️ Even though most of us weren’t able to train together, we still did this together 💟 We celebrated the wins, talked through the hard runs, and kept each other going 💛 They’re the most magical & wonderful group of people and i’m forever inspired by them, and lucky to call them my team!! And of course, an extra shoutout to my guy, @drew.mccathern who did all of this training with me and never once doubted that I could do this. ily🫶🏼

People say that the marathon is just the celebration of the hard work you put in while training, butttt honestly marathon day was HARD 🥲 The heat, the hills, the humidity. I didn’t even get close to the time I wanted, but i’m also amazed I was able to push through!! To keep going & run the entirety of the race. 🏃🏻‍♀️

I thought about my mom so much during this! She loved to run, & would always tell me “everytime you’re on a run, i’m wondering if you’re enjoying the sun on your face!” and while I would’ve loved a lottttt less of the San Diego sun this weekend 😅 all I could really feel at the end of this marathon was grateful 🤍

Running has taught me so much💛 About discipline & grit, how important it is to make promises to yourself and to keep them‼️ That even when things get hard-the only way out is through. This was my mantra on all my runs after losing my mom & I swear by it. Most importantly, it’s taught me that we’re capable of so much more than we dare to believe 💫

I’m so thankful!! ♥️ (and sore!!) taken in San Diego, California by @leeann.mae

A love letter to my Palo @barrys family 💛

I feel like I blinked and somehow a year went by 🥹 I started working at our studio just a few weeks after my mom’s funeral - a little lost, a lot sad, and a pinch hopeful for a community. This amazing team took me in and I’m forever grateful & forever better for it. 💛They’re the greatest, most wonderful friends - a true team that celebrates everyone + their milestones. A team that will help you when your car breaks down, give you flowers on Mother’s Day, spend holidays with you, let you convince them to run a half marathon, and is always ready for another dinner at NOLA. 🥂

Barry’s is truly something special ♥️ This studio & this team got me through the most difficult year of my life, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to know them 🥹 I love them forever!!!! by @leeann.mae
