I had no business attempting the distance other than grit and excitement and just wanted to see if I could start doing this again. And tbh I was done waiting. This was purely a fuck it decision.
Somehow, it worked. One million times better than I could have hoped for. It was incredible. I am still shocked.
It was 95% joy and 5% me trying to control my heart rate. But once 100% what I didn’t know I could Hope for.
This finish line is the new start line
Thanks NYC 💙🧡🩷

26.2 MILES!!! 🗽🏅🔥 What an incredible accomplishment! You are living proof of what dedication, discipline, courage, and showing up for yourself can achieve! 🙌🏼 I started running just 6 months ago at 46, and now at 47, I’m training for my FIRST marathon! Watching you cross that NYC finish line reminds me that BIG dreams are possible, one step at a time! Thank you for inspiring this beginner runner to keep chasing hers! Congratulations, MARATHONER! ✨ Keep shining! ✨🫶🏼
