A marathon on my birthday weekend because why the heck not? I ran 21 km today. It was really really hard. Running doesn’t get easier because you end up wanting to get faster so it’s always challenging, which makes it so special.
Your girl finished at 2 hours and 11 minutes (6:15 pace per km). 13 minutes faster than my first marathon five months ago. While my feet are covered in blisters and I’m limping around the house due to very sore legs, I have a permanent smile on my face. I gave it my all. I trained my butt off and my mind and body came through today. Blessed to be a year older. Blessed to be healthy. Blessed to continue this journey where Inshallah l only improve in my fitness goals.
