Aryeh Kunstler

I’m still processing yesterday. I never imagined myself doing a full marathon and here I am on the other side of it. And I’ll say this: the marathon was the party. I had the best time on this run. Kept it controlled and stuck to my plan and while it was insanely hard it was also an absolute blast.

So am I proud of myself? Very - the marathon was a celebration of months of disciplined work. Early mornings. Long and lonely runs. Days where I said I was going to give up. Injury. Fatigue. Exhaustion. And yet somehow I pushed and accomplished something beyond what I ever thought I could.

Special thank you to my wife @penkunstler for supporting me along this journey and showing up at mile 23 when I needed it most. Could not have done it without you.

@nati_haboura you believed I could. Answered every voicenote of frustration with one of motivation. Reminded me every step of the way that the hard days are the exception. So grateful to you.

@moshebindler - the shift in our training hands down is the reason my legs were so strong on this course with such crazy elevation. Precision focus on what I needed to do to be the most efficient and strong on my feet.

@smiriam2 - the best ever! Thanks for the encouragement and getting me home earlier!
