My bestie keeps complaining that I never post about my “running career” (read: the hobby that I’m busy with for the past 13 years 🫠)… so here we go, a dedicated running post 🏃🏽♀️
2026 has been a year of PB’s - from Vondelpark to Tokyo to Lisbon to Prague 💨 Naturally I thought London would gift me another one… but my body had other plans 😂
That second half? PURE mental warfare. Legs wanted to walk.. but my mind is stronger than that! “ The body achieves what the mind believes “ was basically on repeat in my head the whole time (iykyk).
No PB this time, but I finished - and honestly, that was the whole point 🥰 Another star in the pocket! 3 major marathons in 8 months… ⭐️ something I’ll never take for granted. After all these years, I’m just grateful my body still lets me show up and do what I love.
Because this year also taught me something important: showing up > PB’s.
Yes, I’m competitive. Yes, I love going fast. But marathons aren’t only about chasing times anymore. They’re about the people you run them with, the memories you collect, race-day nerves, post-run coffees, and hearing strangers scream your name when you’re questioning every life choice at km 35 🤭
Chicago… you’re up next 🔥🐎
And London - you were BLOODY tough, but your crowds is the most amazing 📣❤️🔥
