This one was very special 🥹
I’ve been a little sick all week 🤢 but I’m so glad I still gave it a go and snagged a little PR. Also very glad it wasn’t a marathon… I probably wouldn’t have survived that this time lol.

This morning I was questioning whether I should’ve stayed home—and my outfit choice because it was pretty chilly! But it turned out to be perfect running weather ☀️

Better than I anticipated and so proud of everyone who ran today!!! 🤸🏾‍♀️👏

Snowy city days just hit different ❄️
Seeing everyone out, happy, and soaking it in makes it worth it.

Couldn’t have asked for a better race today!!! I’m incredibly happy and grateful. This year has been… a ride 😂 About a million mental breakdowns (just keeping it real), which maybe explains why I ran back-to-back marathons jk 🤪

I don’t even know how to fully elaborate on that, but if you’re going through a rough patch, just know it gets better—or worse haha. That’s why I keep reminding myself to be grateful for every moment, because you never really know what’s ahead. And honestly, an attitude of gratitude always brings me back to how blessed, loved, and fortunate I am.

Back to the race… I got my bib 3.5–4 weeks ago! I couldn’t believe how well I felt after NYC (obviously tired, but not limping or injured for once), so I figured why not run Valencia for fun with zero expectations. I wasn’t sure what pace to go for after NYC, but last night @orellanaaleks and I decided 2:52 was within reach.

However, as soon as I started running this morning, my legs were like nope—pretty sure from poor sleep and travel. Suddenly 3:20 sounded like a much better idea hehe.

Anyway, I tried to stick with it. There were definitely moments where quitting or slowing way down crossed my mind, but every gel helped, and stopping at km 23 to pour electrolytes into a bottle was a game changer. Clarkie couldn’t come this time 😭 so I had to handle hydration solo 😊. The good news: I didn’t choke this time and send the drink up my nose like in NYC 😂🙄

I also started having some GI issues along the way (love that for me 😂), which definitely added to the tired-leg struggle, but nothing dramatic—just part of the whole experience today.

By km 30 my legs were tired, but I reminded myself of all those Central Park runs at a similar pace—and how grateful I was to have NO HILLS here. So I told myself to push a little at the end, even with dead legs, and I stuck with it all the way to the finish line!!

Thank you so much to Clarkie 😍❤️, my mom, Alex (hydration 🤓), my family and friends—and also, thank you me for being a pretty amazing self-coach lately lol. I’ve learned so much from all my previous coaches and it’s paying off.
Love you all!! ❤️❤️❤️

What a magical day 🥹🤩! Couldn't leave Utah without my obligatory Cottonwoods ride and a first-time Guardsman summit. Shoutout to Clarkee and the amazing people I met today for making this ride so special. Maybe a Utah comeback is in the cards? 🤫 Don't tell Clark just yet... #cycling by @orellanakarina
