“BECOMING MAYRA” Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine RUNNING would be what it is to me today, even more wild being in @trailrunnermag 😭❤️🙌 I am so overwhelmed with emotion & gratitude. The first person I called, was my mami….the person who has been there my entire life, her smile was EVERYTHING it made this moment even sweeter…”yo quiero 2 copies” she said smiling (I want 2 copies). Then of course @jerrymgarcia who had the biggest smile on his face!! Since I started running, I’ve met so many great people who have become friends & even those who I consider FAMILY….I absolutely LOVE the RUNNING COMMUNITY! Shout of to my dearest friend @sandychannel for sharing part of my story & telling it well. & special thank you to all that took part in the pics & interviews @dodger_chula @fact_training @jerrymgarcia @phoebesjchiang @nancdoesntrun @runningskylights @rich_lorton #runwithuspasadena#runwithus#hoka#hokaflyer#teamgarcia#visionforenrichment#vfuel#ultra#runningcommunity#adventureisoutthere#explore#tifosioptics#livingmybestlife#adayatatime#dirtbagrunners#ExplorePerfection#balegaimpi2022#womenwhofly#firewife#AV#journeycontinues#vamos#vibes#views#runningcommunity#trailrunning#trailrunnermag#trailrunnermagazine#magazine#thankful 📸 @dellsgphotography #radrabbit

Western States 100 Time: 26:46 Overall:154 GP:32 You are one hell of a race, beautiful & tough. So much emotion crossing that finish line, I have a lot more to say but for now I just really want to thank my crew/pacers for being there & helping me get to the finish. I always say WE DID because it takes a TEAM so thank you so much for being my support out there. A dream of a race for sure & even better sharing this moment with @jerrymgarcia as he was also out there running. Lastly, thank you @wser for putting a great race without you & the amazing volunteers WOW thank you!

Be the reason another woman believes she can. Be a girls girl for real, not just when it gets likes, views, or clout 💁🏻‍♀️ Support their business. Like their post. Comment. Share advice. & clap for HER in rooms SHE hasn’t even entered yet. Because insecure women compete. Secure women empower. So if you’ve been thinking about joining the running world, signing up for your first race, chasing that ultra, going after your next big goal, or even just doing life… this is your sign, GO FOR IT! You got this. And there’s women out here rooting for you. 🤍 Now tell me… what’s one goal you’re scared to chase, but know deep down you’re capable of? 👇 #WomenSupportingWomen #TrailRunning #RunCommunity #WomenWhoRun #Strongwomen

Running is the fire that fuels my soul. 🔥 Not everyone understands why we run… but runners do. What got you into running? PS, bought my first pair of @lskd.running shorts, I am a fan. They have gained a new customer, light weight, soft, comfortable, and flattering! #running #runningcommunıty #keepgoing #lightthefire #womenwhorun

Still proud of this one & always will be 🖤 First in my family to run 100 miles x3. (Run a lot period) Proof that you can be the start of something new. What’s something you’ve done first in your family? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #runlife #trailrunning #ultrarunner #strongwomen #runyourstory

You keep going. Always. Just never giving up ✨ #NeverGiveUp #KeepGoing #StayStrong #runningcommunity #ProgressNotPerfection

Recharging my battery is simple, move my body, hit the trails, and take in the views. Headed out to Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area and it always delivers. It’s not an easy trail, but it’s not overwhelming either it’s that perfect balance that challenges you just enough and reminds you what your body is capable of. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it. That’s what works for me, but we all recharge differently. How do you reset and refill your energy? It doesn’t have to be running or movement. What’s your go-to? #movement #recharge #views #running #trails

Tell yourself this every single day… You are blessed. You are loved. You are strong. You are successful. You are worthy. A positive mindset is your power, don’t give that away. Which one of these are you still learning to believe about yourself? Trust me, I still struggle with all of them… but I remind myself that I am all of this, even on the hard days. And if no one has told you this, I’m telling you… YOU are all of this and more, every single day. 🫶 #MindsetMatters #SelfWorth #StrongerEveryRun #PositiveMindset #YouAreEnough

They really brought her back… but BETTER, Mach Remastered 🔥 (aka Mach 5) Something about a good shoe, a cute set from FP Movement, and getting out for a run just hits different. The Mach was always been one of my fav it’s lightweight, fast, effortless. And now CUTER. Yeah… I’m in love all over again. Just me, this fit, these shoes, and a really good run 🫶🏽✨ The right outfit + shoes changes everything. What’s one thing that makes your runs feel that good lately? 👟 @hoka Mach Remastered 👚 @fpmovement 🩳 @runinrabbit 🍼 @nathansportsinc handheld PS my best accessory my bff will always be my Coco girl! #running #run #runnersofinstagram #runcommunity #runfit

What makes your heart smile? For me… it’s the mountains. The quiet. The fresh air. The way everything slows down and suddenly nothing else matters. It’s where I feel grounded, free, and most like myself. And sharing those miles with my friends, laughing mid-run, beautiful trails, pushing each other, and making memories that hit way deeper than the miles ever could. There’s just something about chasing views that hits different ⛰️ What’s one thing that instantly brings you back to life? 👇 #trailrunner #keepgoing #runner #slay #mountain
