Progress has a side effect nobody talks about.
The better you get, the more you forget how hard the beginning was.
⠀
The pace that once felt impossible becomes your warm up.
The distance that used to scare you becomes a normal Tuesday.
And one day you catch yourself calling slow the exact pace you once prayed for.
⠀
🌱 Everybody you admire started as a beginner who could not do what they do now.
Every fast runner was once the slowest person in their group, learning how to breathe, stopping to walk, wondering if this sport was even for them.
⠀
That is why I try to keep my first version close.
Not to make my progress smaller. To keep it honest.
My times today do not make me more of a runner than the person finishing their first 5K this weekend. We are the same story, in different chapters.
⠀
🧱 And it is not just about pace.
Nothing I have today arrived overnight: not the fitness, not the endurance, not this community.
It was built the slow way, run by run, year by year, starting from almost nothing.
Forgetting that is how I would start believing I was always like this.
I was not. I was built, one ordinary run at a time.
⠀
🙌 In my case it started even simpler: showing up to support people.
Whoever wanted to run, we were there. No spotlight, nothing behind it, just support.
Everything that came later grew out of that: the runners, the community, the doors that opened.
When something grows, it is easy to forget the first hands that built it. I never want to be the one who forgets.
⠀
Stay fast if you can. Stay faster if you want.
Just never forget where you came from.
The beginner you were is the one who got you here.
⠀
What was your first race time, or your first mile ever? Tell me below. No shame here, we all started somewhere 👇

BUSCO Y ENCONTRÓ HAHA

To the absolute man of my dreams, thank you for making every dream I’ve ever had come true.

Our story will forever be my favorite one to tell. You were the easiest yes I have ever said, but the truth is, my heart knew long before you ever got down on one knee.

My real-life prince charming. The man little me once dreamed of finding. Gracias, mi vida, por darme el mundo y mucho más. But most importantly, for giving me a love so pure and genuine that I never have to question it.

Everyone always says life isn’t a fairytale, but you sure have done an amazing job of making it feel like one.

I can’t wait for the life we’re going to build together, fight for together, and live together.

Te amo mi vida

People think I’m crazy for running without headphones sometimes, but some mornings you just don’t need them.

No music on this reel. Just how it sounded at 6AM this morning. Feet hitting the ground, breathing, staying focused, staying controlled, and finishing.

Just #running

Your team captain says hey are we doing this 10K race in the middle of the long run or what?! What do you think I’m gonna say?? OF COURSE I COULDN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO ADD MORE PAIN TO MY SUNDAY MORNING.

7.2 miles before. 6.3 miles during. 6.5 more easy miles after.

Hot and humid as always, we got it done.

Church before church✔️

4 more weeks until Indy Marathon🏁

Shoutout to @fleetfeetmiami for making it all possible for the squad 🙏🏽🔥👟

Jesus is King.

This is not a run club this is a performance oriented team! 100% facts said every time by the Coach! No shortcuts in this journey. It takes time and you have to be patient. 1 month before Indy Full.

Two unwritten rules in running:
1. Stay out of lane one 🙂
2. Camera pace = 20 sec faster than what ever the workout pace is😤

Success looks sudden only to those who didn’t see the preparation. Build yourself everyday.

Nothing better than getting fit with a bunch of killers from @myolympiccoach and @runningwithlucho. 39 more days to go till round #2 @indymonumental.

Be Lethal💀

Only 5:50 / mile pace but it sure does feel like Mach 10 in my mind sometimes
