We didn’t realize this resto was “a retro 1950s-themed diner open since 1984 where the waitstaff adopt sassy, sarcastic personas, roast your food choices, toss straws, and occasionally break into choreographed dance routines on the counters.“ 🙈but it was fun though. taken in Ed Debevic's Chicago by @teamrafer

I told him to pack his running shoes because I signed him up for a race the night before our flight 🙈…just like that, retirement was over and his running era was back on! 🤣🤣🤣

A lot of people documented the race…there are tons of videos out there showing the course and the incredible energy surrounding it. I decided to document myself during the run. What an event! @chimarathon was so well organized. I felt very supported as a runner throughout the whole race both by the race organizers and the amazing spectators. I planned to listen to Gilmore Girls on Netflix during the race but I ended up listening to 3 songs to soak it all in and you can’t really hear anything from my @shokzcanada. I ran with a pacer group from 11 or 12 miles to about 21-22 miles when my stomach started acting up, and things got a little challenging. The heat was unreal…the amount of times I just wanna stop and DNF. Seeing other content creators share similar experiences made me feel validated in what I was going through. It reminded me that I wasn’t alone in finding this race so challenging. Overall, Chicago was definitely an experience worth paying for. Let’s see if NYC brings the same energy in a few weeks. by @teamrafer

This Medal Monday belongs to Marvin.

You truly are my hero, Mahal! Thank you for supporting me with my crazy ideas, especially these destination races. Like I said last time, training is the hardest part of running a marathon. But having an extremely supportive husband who truly got my back makes all the difference. How’s that for ride or die?!

You’re the one who pushes me out the door (figuratively 🤣) when I start making excuses not to run. There’s no way I could have put in all those training miles without you by my side. Thank you, Mahal, for believing in me even on the days when I struggle to believe in myself! The amount of time I’ve heard you say, “you are stalling again!” 🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday, you woke up early to get me breakfast, drove us closer to the start line to help preserve my legs, and walked around the course just to cheer me on and encourage me to keep going. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader, my financier, and most of all, my prayer warrior. You truly are the definition of a better half. I am so blessed to have you by my side. I love you so much, Mahal! 💜

And to Kiana and Kyan, thank you for cheering me on from home! Your love and support mean so much to me. 💜

Above all, thank You, Lord Jesus Christ!

Thank You for sustaining me through every training day and carrying me through all 42 km. Thank You for giving me the strength, desire, ability, time, confidence, determination, and courage to lace up my shoes and head out for a run, even on the days when it was hard. Thank You for keeping me safe on every run, blessing me with good weather, and allowing me to continue running even through the summer months.

Every step, every training mile, and every finish is a reminder of Your goodness and faithfulness. I know I couldn’t have done this without You.

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!

To everyone who prayed for me yesterday. Thank you all! Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean so much to me. 💜
