freshman year of high school i ran 1 mile and said NEVER again โŒ๐Ÿ˜‚ well. . .here we are ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

my best friend is the only reason i got into running. watching him go all in made me enter the lottery for the United NYC Half, thinking โ€œno way i get inโ€. . .and, SURPRISE, i got in! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

then a stress fracture took me out ๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’” so i deferred my spot, and this time iโ€™m actually doing it. i commit first and figure it out later ๐Ÿน

iโ€™m documenting all of it: the slow runs, the complaining, the crying, and hopefully the wins.

who else swore theyโ€™d never run? ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

The NYC Half lottery really said โ€œyou run nowโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ Rooting for you through the ordinary training days as much as race day!
