3 min PR. 7:38 avg. pace. 2nd BQ. And the ride of a lifetime.

I prayed for peace all week. I got a hail fire of emotions that I processed and put aside so that I could settle into my race.

The marathon and training is probably the one place where I no longer panic, where I feel at peace with who I am. But, it doesn’t mean it’s not an internal battle to get to that calm solitude.

I felt so many insecurities unveiled while out there today & I had to quiet them and be curious about how my body would handle the day. I focused on 3 things this race: staying in my bubble, enjoying the sunrise, and settling in.

I’m grateful for today. I’m grateful for my journey. I’m grateful for my people. I’m grateful for all the texts, messages, love, care & calls. I’m grateful for the CHANCE to learn about myself and dig deep when it hurts.

I got peace today. I got fiery. I got fkn determined. I got dehydrated as hell. And heaven knows I got the ‘cannot walk hobble.’

I wouldn’t have it any other way.
