I could probably write an entire book about my journey training for and running the NYC Marathon but I’ll try to spare you (for now). Getting to run through the city that’s witnessed every version of me was something I wasn’t fully prepared for. This city has literally seen it all from heartbreaks, to dream chasing, falling in love, career pivots (and then pivots back… lol). It’s the place that’s shaped me & the one I’m endlessly proud to call home. Running 26.2 miles through its streets was one of the hardest and most emotional things I’ve ever done 🥹 To my family, best friends + ultimate hype squad, I swear I wouldn’t have kept going if you weren’t waiting for me at the finish line. Major shoutout to @drjustinlewis + @wthn for keeping my body in check, truly wouldn’t have made it to the start line without you. And to @g_smithers25 thank you for the constant support, love, and pep talks. No one got to see this process up close quite like you did, and I couldn’t be more grateful for you. There’s so much more I could say about this whole experience, but for now I’m just endlessly thankful for a strong mind, a strong body, and the best people by my side. 🫶🏻 (For those wondering if I’ll be doing another feel free to swipe to the first video)
