2nd Philly Marathon in the books. Disappointed with my performance, but reminding myself that this was not a failure, but a lesson in resilience. I understand that injuries are part of the journey, and while I can’t control them, I can control how I move forward. This experience has shown me that self-compassion is key — it’s okay to feel frustrated, but it’s also important to give myself grace and focus on recovering. My goal now is to rest, recover, and come back stronger for next year. I know that one run doesn’t define me. I’m already setting new goals, reflecting on what I can do better next time, and building for future success. Everybody wants the view, but nobody wants the climb. Looking forward to the upcoming year. Over the last couple of months, I’ve been raising money for Team @active_minds to raise awareness and show support for youth and young adult mental health advocacy and education. My donation page is still open until the end of the week if you’d like to show support!
