The best birthday gift I gave myself:
This Boston Marathon medal 💙💛

But this was more than a race.

At one point, I thought about stopping.
Then I remembered why I was there and I didn’t.
And again… I kept going.

It was cold. Hard. Long.
And around mile 9… I got my period.
I kept running.

Because sometimes it’s not about comfort,
it’s about staying.

At one point, everything went quiet.
I was waiting for those famous uphills…
but honestly, they weren’t there.

So I yelled:
“WHERE IS BOSTON?!”

And then it came back.
Loud.

That’s when you realize you’re not alone.

At some point, this stopped being just my race.
People saying “you’re my inspiration,”
running with me matching my pace after noticing my braids,
coming to take photos with me after the race…

All of it was special.

At one point, I slowed down. @nateatzworld from @azusapacersofficial came next to me and said:
“What are you doing here? Don’t settle down.”
She woke me up.

Around mile 21–22, I saw @rigoapc
Seeing him there…
meant more than I can explain.

Cramps hit.
I walked for about 2–2.5 minutes.
But I didn’t stop.

And suddenly… the finish line.

The marathon taught me this:
it’s not about the finish line,
it’s about the journey toward it…
and staying in it.

Discipline, patience, repetition…
Not easy. Never fast.
But real.

I had a dream…
and I ran right through it.

And yes, the best part?
I QUALIFIED AGAIN!

Just the trailer this year. Full movie next year. ✊🏻

So… see you next year!
YOU ROCK, BOSTON ✨

And wait a minute! I’ll save my special thanks for the next post… they know who they are!

When our minds, bodies, intentions, and actions move in the same direction, incredible things become possible.

Discipline has always been part of who I am. I believe in showing up, doing the work, and building both a strong body and a strong mind.

And then there’s Boston… ✨
Some experiences are simply magical. Boston was one of them and now I get to experience that magic again. 💙💛

Strong mind. Strong body. A little magic.
And apparently… I’m the GOAT. 🐐

Burgundy, jazz & champagne. Sometimes slowing down is part of the rhythm.

There’s something beautiful about how far a person can go when the heart stays light, the intentions stay good, and discipline quietly does its work. Not everything has to be loud to be powerful; some of the strongest things are built softly, consistently, and with care.

Good intentions don’t always lead us to the right places. Sometimes we give too much to the wrong things. But if you can still choose discipline, softness, vulnerability, and courage after all of it, there’s a lot to be proud of in the mirror.

No shame in the choices that taught us something!

It wasn’t easy getting here, and that’s exactly why this moment means more. First drill weekend—proud of the work, the discipline, and the woman I’m becoming! 🫡

WE ARE THE 💯 👇🏻

Your body reflects what you repeatedly choose. So does your mind.
Day 2 of my 3-month transformation. ✔️

Morning run, workout done, nourishing food, and a peaceful mind.

There was no mental battle because I’ve been training my mind for this for a long time.

I’m not chasing perfection. I’m building consistency. One day at a time. 🤍 taken in Los Angeles, California by @runtheyogini

The sea has a way of resetting everything.

I always leave it with a clearer mind and a stronger purpose.

Next Tuesday, I begin a new 90-day transformation with a new coach, not because I don’t know how to train, but because even coaches need coaches.

Growth requires accountability.
Let’s build and see results all together! ✊🏻 taken in Kas, Turkey by @runtheyogini
