I personally don’t know @jesstonn. Well, I know her like many of you do. I’m a fan. And, as a fan of elite runners, I’ve watched her deal with tremendous disappointment after finishing fourth at the Olympic Trials (twice), where only the top three go to the Games. I’ve watched her go from a seemingly sure victory to disappointment after being led off course at the USA Half Marathon Championships. My son, @just_truett, has trained with her some in Flagstaff and tells me what an amazing person she is. But again, I’ve never actually spoken with Jess. That didn’t matter Sunday. I was completely locked in watching her run the NYC Marathon. From the comforts of my couch, I watched her compete in the lead pack most the race, lose contact just a bit, then fight back in an effort to close the gap. This is SO hard to do. I’m nowhere near her talent, but I’ve run this race and many other marathons. I know what it feels like when every stride hurts and every step requires a conscious decision not to let up. You cannot take your foot off the gas at all if the dream is to LIVE. With just a mile or two left as she was in 3rd place overall I can imagine Jess thinking: “Third at a World Major is good. First American woman. Just hold on. Please, body.” On TV there were times when she looked 100 meters or more back, but man, she has HEART. And, as a runner, you MUST stay in contact, which she did. Just in case. As the finish approached, the winner, Sheila Chepkirui, crossed and second place began to falter. Maybe Jess saw blood in the water? But was there enough time? The wheels were coming off 2nd, but the finish line loomed. Then Jess stormed past multiple-time Olympic medalist Hellen Obiri to claim SECOND PLACE at the 2026 NYC Marathon! And no, I don’t know Jess McClain. But watching her will every fiber of her being to give absolutely EVERYTHING she had, honestly, choked me up. This was one of the most thrilling marathons I’ve ever witnessed. The human spirit is something special. What an incredible run. Well done Jess and all the competitors. As they say, that was pure cinema. Thank you. 🙏 📸 @coachnormansimon
Couldn't wipe the smile off his face 😄
34 years of life. 13.1 miles of gratitude. Ran my first half marathon for my birthday. Every mile a milestone. Every affirmation a reminder of how far I’ve come and how much I still have in me. Thankful to God for another year, the strength to keep going, and the people who make life worth celebrating. Still becoming. Still believing. Still moving forward. Chapter 34. 🙏🏾🦂
