PROJECT 100 🏁🔥 | The Finale is OUT NOW!

From day one in Boulder to hard workouts, 20-mile state-line crossovers, and months of unyielding high-mileage blocks. It all comes down to this single moment on the start line.

Every early morning, every gel, and every mile has led to this final test. Did we hit the goal and bring it all home?

Drop your final guess below!

A huge thank you to the @qcmarathon for giving me the opportunity to race my first marathon on an incredible course!

I also want to give a massive shoutout to @itszachyy for putting in countless hours to bring every single episode of this series to life!

Thank you everyone again for watching and supporting the videos as I truly am thankful!

Head over to the link in my bio to watch how Project 100 concludes! 🎬👆

Well, I ran a marathon. It was one of the hardest challenges I’ve had mentally, knowing I had the option to quit and REALLY wanting to just under half way through and powering through for another 3 and a half hours really proved a lot to myself.

I’ve never been a runner, but when I started working out when I was 17 I would always run a mile and keep bumping it up and I started to enjoy it and even thought of doing marathons then. When I mentioned it to a person who I looked up to, they told me I never would be able to. And I did the worst thing and listened. I lost all aspiration to run and didn’t pick it back up until early may this year, but by the end of the summer I finally did it. Almost 10 years I didn’t pursue a goal because one person made a comment, and they probably don’t remember saying it but my silent closure heals a wound I didn’t know still hurt.

I did that shit.

Never stop challenging yourself.

QCM 2026 - Year 3 of QCM

This was easily my worst marathon taking me 5 hours to complete. I started cramping in my calves at mile 10 and was able to still run a decent half marathon at 1:57:26 but by mile 19 I couldn’t run anymore no matter how hard I tried. Walked/waddle ran the last 7.2 miles chaffing and cramping every step.

When you fall that far behind it’s hard to quit because you’re walking with every other person whose race didn’t go the way they planned but also refuse to quit. That’s the best part about these events!

Still got it done

But I’ll openly admit I was suffering in every pic

I’m excited to redeem myself next year!

Project 100 is officially in the books 🏁

Still processing everything from last Sunday as it went better than I could have ever imagined! To run 2:36:11 and place 5th overall in my first ever marathon is honestly something I wouldn’t have believed 100 days ago.

I’m beyond grateful for all the support over these past 100 days as this has been one of my favorite projects in my life.

Thank you again to everyone who followed along as Project 100: The Finale drops in 1 week on my YouTube Channel. 🎥

Another 26.2 down, and another PR OF 3:24. Proud of the effort but I know there’s more I’m capable of doing.

Just happy to be blessed with a healthy body to do hard things. State 3/50 completed! Which marathon should I tackle next? 👀

I think it a lot - running is hard.

Before every race. During every race. When it’s 100 degrees and 100% humidity. When I’m going up a big hill. Running into the wind. When it’s dark & cold & early & I just wish I was one of those people who drank coffee and journaled in the mornings.

Too often, I want to quit and stop running because it just feels *so* hard in those moments. And, the funny thing is - it’s not at all. Running is arguably one of the simplest sports out there.

But, like with everything in life, I overcomplicate and overthink things. I’m so grateful for my brain in so many ways, but it’s also so often my worst enemy.

I am slowly learning that my greatest joy, in running and in life, is found in the moments when I just let myself be. When my only focus is the present - and being present. Think less, be more.

And I smiled for a whole 26.8 miles (pics or it didn’t happen: see below) because I got to be a part of a race that wasn’t about my goals, the worst-case scenarios, wishing it to be over, or beating myself up for not being better.

I had the privilege of being surrounded by, and championing, so many wonderfully impressive people this weekend - running their first or 12th or 23rd marathon; all ferociously and joyfully chasing their goals. It reminded me that I can be nervous or scared or uncertain without backing away - or wishing it all away. That we will never be luckier than the times we are running.

And I am supremely grateful for that reminder. Because even if running breaks my heart once in a while - and it will - I met my favorite version of myself out running. And I really like this person. I really, really like all the people she’s connected with along the way, too.
