Got 15 of these bad boiz now🏅

First time traveling for a marathon, so cool this was the inaugural one in Vegas despite the hellish cold at the beginning. Always a success finishing but always a failure running it slow. I set a goal at the beginning of the year to break 4 hours (my pr in college was 4:15) but life got in the way surprise surprise and I didn't train enough. Ran 10-15 times in the months leading up which is still basically nothing but way better than my usual 3 or 4 bullshit 😅

Finished in 5 hours 14 mins, which was 30 mins faster than last time in 2022. I'm supposed to run one every year but didn't in 2023 after almost breaking my ankle climbing. For a while I was scared I'd have to retire from marathons so being able to do it again with no ankle pain was amazing 😀

Thanks to my sis @yarasev and @sammyhpotter for joining me, running the half, and getting this vid of me running the home stretch where you can see how destroyed I am, barely dragging one leg in front of the other 🏃‍♂️

And of course huge thanks to @bekahovercast for hosting us at her house. Such a fun trip, needa make it back to Vegas for some climbing 🪨

So yeah sub 4 marathon next year right? I'll train for real next time right? *wink wink*
