It’s been one week from what is objectively my best race performance ever. Coming out of what again was objectively my best training block ever. And it has me feeling not only so incredibly proud and in awe of what my body can do. But, also very reflective.

In just over three years I went from not running at all to running a sub 1:50 half marathon. I remember the feeling of hitting 45 minutes straight without stopping for the first time. To The excitement and pride of running my first half marathon.

I remember knowing I should’ve felt proud that I ran my second half marathon in under 2 hours and placed in my first ever race (5k) within a month of each other. But, I couldn’t. All I could focus on was the way that I looked. Feeling like I didn’t look like an athlete. And just feeling an overall resentment for myself. And I carried that into what should’ve felt like another amazing accomplishment; my first ever HYROX.

But what carried me through. What got me to the place I am today. Where I genuinely love and respect myself. Where I’ve fallen so madly in love with running, is the incredible support system I am so lucky to have. All the people who believed in me when I couldn’t, who loved me when I didn’t and who never ever gave up on me. I have so many people who are always cheering me on. Most notably @justine.kiri who has never, not once missed any of my races. @derickyb_tcg who is always ready with his phone on record to catch me crossing that finish line. My little brother @david.grottoli who even though he is younger, is a massive inspiration. And to everyone else who showed me I’m worth loving even when I don’t feel like it.

Now I’m here, today with an absolutely massive PB, my second HYROX coming up and a full marathon after that. Feeling the most fit I have ever felt in my life. I am so excited to see what the rest of this year brings and to see how well I can perform with the belief that I can do anything.

Running has taught me that I can do hard things. That I have the mental and physical strength to do what a lot of people can’t. That I am capable. by @mariahgrottoli
