Back home ๐ฝbut Australia deserved one last appreciation post ๐ฆ๐บ Feeling so bittersweet because it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and went by far too quickly.
So special seeing
@_tiago_magalhaes and
@nicoleodean after more than a year apart, and having the loveliest shakeout run, coffee, and catch-up with
@dominicreganbeasley after 11 years.
The
@sydney_marathon was one of my hardest, but also one of the most unforgettable. I have never had so many strangers shouting my name. It felt like the entire city was carrying me toward the most magnificent finish line.
Mom, having you there meant more than I can say. Seeing you throughout the race, especially when I was struggling, meant everything. You and Cole somehow saw me five times, and I will never take for granted that you and Diego traveled across the world for this milestone. Special shoutout to Cole for literally carrying me afterward ๐
So grateful for the friendly people, incredible food, beautiful views, surfing attempts, kayaking with dolphins and whales, and snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef.
Australia, you were unforgettable ๐ค
