I did it! We did it! 🥹 The NYC Marathon wasn’t a race, it was an experience. A life lesson. Probably the best run of my life. I saw and felt so much. I AM SO HAPPY 🥹 and grateful, inspired, humbled, and emotional...lahat na! This medal represents how important it is that we keep the promises we make to ourselves. To me, it was running because I wanted a new challenge, a new discipline — to be healthier & to step out of my comfort zone, to see how far I can go. I knew it would take time and dedication to achieve it but I wanted to stick to that promise no matter where life or work pulled me. Over the years, I got used to being at the service of others and most of my decisions revolved around work or pleasing others. This time, I stuck by running a marathon for me. This was my way of taking care of myself. And now, it has enriched my life so much because it has put me in a better place, so I feel recharged & energized to be of service to others. Thank you to my family & friends who tracked me & cheered for me. Especially for patiently waiting long hours as I trained everyday. 😅 my love @jeremyjauncey & @sarahwurtzbach @anellecharity @carlalizardo_ @bianca.guidotti @loveyourself.ph @doctress_vinn @riabrines @bessiebesana And of course my coach!

Gabb @gabbrosario thank you for pushing me and preparing me for this day! ☺️ Sobrang patient niya sakin at sa progress ko 😂 I’m grateful for all the support and cheering on ground and online. I saw your signages, your messages, and posts — kahit sobra yung kaba ko and yung pagod 5 hours in, lumalakas loob ko. 🙏🏼 Please watch out for my reel that documents my journey from training to the finish line...and pwede ko na ring sabihin ngayon: Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach from the Philippines, proudly a NYC marathon finisher 💙🇵🇭 @nycmarathon
