horses donโt stop they keep goin // #bostonmarathon 2026 ๐๐ 3:18:02 PR 7:33 per mile pace
what a journey !!! hard to put it into words. the boston marathon was so far from anything i ever imagined myself being able to qualify for. it just takes one person to believe in you. my training block definitely had its ups and downs. some weeks i felt the fittest i had ever been, the next week i was knocked down by a brutal illness. this happened on and off for my last month of training. i had worked so so so hard for the past year and half, and i wanted that to pay off at boston. truthfully, this race was one of the hardest marathons iโve ever faced. i showed up to the boston start line with a very stubborn cold and 15 minutes to spare (holy heck the buses took forever !!).
early on in the race i knew it wasnโt going to be a big PR day for me, despite the amount of training i had put in. my heart rate was way too high only a few miles in, and i essentially pivoted to doing damage control as to not blow up entirely. i soaked in the incredible crowd support, and reminded myself to take in every moment. i really wanted to kiss a wellesley girl at mile 12, but i will do that next time, when i donโt have a cold. ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ i tried to be to kind to myself, and kept thinking about how hard i worked to get here, and tried to make peace with the limitation my body was putting on me during this race. it was one of the hardest races i have ever done. i am so grateful for this experience and i canโt wait to come back to race boston in the future.
i love running so much. i love this community. thank you to all my friends and family for always pushing me and supporting me, for showing up for me, and for reminding me to be kind to myself. special shoutouts to @gabbyl34 and @cakelyn223 who have been absolutely crucial during this era. i love you both so much. thank you to @banditrunning for making the best running gear and making me feel drippy asf everytime i race. thank you to my squad, @milestoneruncrew. thank you to my husband ross who has to put up with me 24/7 talking about running and is my biggest supporter. i feel so grateful and loved !!!!! ๐๐๐๐๐ #bostonmarathon2026
