Swimming is one of the ways I cope with stress.

Just moving, breathing, and healing.

On World Mental Health Day, a little reminder that taking care of our mental health matters, too.

Be kind to yourself. You’re allowed to slow down, take a break, and find what helps you feel better.

When my mother was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (#IPF) – the most common form of interstitial lung disease (#ILD) – I happily stepped into the role of caregiver.

This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, I’m remembering how my mother impacted me during that time and how she embraced a life beyond the scars of IPF.

I made a promise to her that I would continue to raise awareness about IPF, and I will continue to
keep that promise.

It’s not over ‘til it’s over. @nycmarathon 🥈😤

Had to tell myself this more than times than usual yesterday. It wasn’t a day where I felt perfect, but it didn’t need to be.

@mountainroche and I had a pre-race call before I left for NYC and his advice was “just be Jess.” I don’t think he knew that something so simple could give me so much confidence.

There was no over-engineering or overanalyzing anything. I stacked a lot of imperfect, grindy bricks at altitude and in the AZ heat this summer.

The workouts that I thought were pretty “meh” or a “check the box/get it done” type days ended up being the ones that David said made me better, not the workouts where most splits/reps/things went to plan.

All that was left to do was get to NYC healthy, enjoy it all, take whatever the race had to throw at me, and “just be Jess” through all five boroughs.

I sent David a DM two years ago after the NYC Marathon after being a fan of him, Megan, and the pod for quite sometime. He was so gracious with his time and lent an ear when I needed it the most.

I told him I wanted to get better, but keep it fun. I don’t think a lot of coaches would care about that second part as much as the first. But he did.

It has been a very fun two years of working together and discovering my best self. I owe a lot of this to him. So @mountainroche… just keep being you, too!

Thank you to the @nyrr team (Dorian, Sam, Christine, everyone!) for taking a chance on us and making NYC feel like home.

The @brooksrunning fam helped us share our unique journeys to NYC. The love at Brooks runs so deep and I feel so lucky.

Thanks to Connor, my Dad, and my besties for making me feel like I can full send it and they would still love me even if it all went sideways.

& thanks to @set4go_llc for getting me to every start line healthy the last 4 years.

Congrats to @sheilachepkiruiken & @hellenobiri… thank you for getting the best out of us all yesterday.

Can’t say thank you enough for all the sweet messages I have received. Down bad crying on the plane reading through them all. I love this sport so much!

Left it all on the field on my way to a WMM podium!! 😭
