A dream come true. Boston Marathon 2025. 🩵🤍

Post-race thoughts & musings:

Running a PR marathon two weeks before the Boston Marathon was likely THE most ridiculous, cracked idea I’ve ever had.

My leggies hurt THE WHOLE TIME. But, my heart was so full the whole time. 🥹🩵🤍💛

I think I high fived a thousand people. It was MAGIC. The girls at Wellesley were my favorite part. Gosh. What a fkn vibe.

Runners are so nice I can’t handle it. I feel like I ran with 30K of my best friends. You just feel the energy out there. And the love that everyone has for SUFFERING.

I got really sick after walking out of the finish chute. My poor body is like, “k thanks, can we have a break now??”

I started marathon training last July w two back-to-back cycles of 900+ miles each. It’s been a long haul. I’m excited for some off season lovin.

Thankful for my daddy spending the weekend w me. Thankful for @kkapinos helping me get here. Thankful for @cakebycourtney talking to me at mile 15 and sharing in my moment (today & every day).

Thankful for the blessing that the marathon is to me.
For teaching me to dig in and NEVER give up on my dream.

For showing me that failures can be overcome, that pain is ONLY pain, that the emotions to be felt while racing are peace & joy.

For the understanding that outcomes mean nothing bc the growth is in the journey. For being a space where I do wut I want.

And for letting me experience some straight up bat shit FUN today🦄 #boston129
