26.2 miles.
4 hours, 11 minutes, 21 seconds.
Day 76 of my run streak.
First ever marathon.
In my favorite, America's Finest, city!
I went in just hoping to finish under 5 hours..
I crossed the line almost 50 minutes faster🤯🔥
And honestly? It was incredible. Better than I could've imagined — the energy, the pace, the vibes, the city, the people!
So why do I feel a little… off?
I thought I’d be flying high all day yesterday. But after the celebration, the medal, and continued soreness — came this quiet little crash. Like my body’s not the only thing in recovery mode after those miles.
I AM proud.
Proud of the work.
Proud of the discipline.
Proud that I showed up every day — and somehow turned that into this HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!
But I’m also sitting here with the post-marathon blues. And I guess that’s part of it too.
I'm proud of the journey that led to be able to exceed my expectations, but not as proud of the actual completion of the miles.. idk what it is.
Is it just me? Anyone else ever felt this way after a big race??
Marathon complete. Streak still alive. Gotta get my recovery mile in today for Day 77!
Still figuring out how to process it all.. love you guys!
Get outside and move your legs baby🤗🔥

![Nobody talks about how exhausting it is to keep going when your body is the thing working against you. To smile through it. To hear the same words from people who mean well but will never understand. You don’t have to prove how tired you are. You just are. And that’s enough of a reason to rest.
Btw, poetry book ‘Between Heaven & Earth’ is out now. It’s a collection of poems about love, heartbreak, loneliness, inner struggles, healing, and the quiet journey of understanding yourself and life along the way.
If you’d like to read it, comment “Book” and I’ll send you the link.
