My 2nd WORST marathon ever! 🫣😂 (That one time I broke the side of my foot at mile 16-17 & still finished, that still takes the cake! 🏆🤣) But somehow, this was also my FAVORITE marathon! 🥹❤️
So many emotions that I’m still trying to process. Yesterday was brutal, physically and emotionally, but I have NEVER felt so loved during a marathon. 🥹
To all the amazing run clubs who cheered me on as I slowly trotted along the course, THANK YOU! 🫶🏽 Every cheer, hug, smile, and familiar face carried me a little further when I had nothing left to give. Words will never be enough to express how grateful I am for everyone who helped me make it to that finish line. 🥹This Doña still has it!
My Quinceañera Marathon wasn’t pretty, but Dios mío, was it filled with LOVE! 👑😭❤️ 15 Chicago Marathons later, and this one will forever hold a special place in my heart. 🧡💙
