Yvonne Zapata 🫧🪽🖤✨

There is magic in misery, just ask any runner. A quote from a letter that one of my dear friends wrote to me & it stayed with me ever since. Coming into TSP, I had a mission and a purpose. I knew the discomfort, the pain, and everything my body would go through. But I also came in ready to embrace the uncomfortable, to not quit on myself, and to show up fully for my sole sisters.This journey meant doing everything I promised myself I would & I did. Running TSP with my sole sisters was nothing short of magical , truly one of the most meaningful experiences I’ll ever be grateful for. From start to finish, it was sisterhood and teamwork that carried us through. The laughter, the smiles, the tears, the pure joy of being together it bonded us for life. We leaned on each other, grew closer than ever, and built something unbreakable. I love them deeply 10 toes down, always. This third time running the race taught me so much, but most of all pour into those who pour into you. Be vulnerable. Take risks. Trust the unknown. I’m so proud of myself and my sole sisters for showing up, trusting each other, and embracing every moment. To our amazing captains @instatamagram , @sindeexo , @gweets & @pegclegg ! ✨thank you for your love, your guidance, and for trusting us to represent not only Women Make Moves, but our authentic selves. To my sole sisters ,you mean the world to me. And yes, you’re all stuck with me and my delulu self forever ✨ you are all my big sisters that I admire you endlessly & I’m forever grateful to have you in my life. @thespeedproject like always, see you next year ✨ @flicks_by_lucy my girl captured all the magic📸✨ #outside #latinarunner #missoutside

This time last year , I got hit by a car infront of my home & my entire world just flipped upside down. I couldn’t run, walk or even do anything. I was depressed and had no idea what I had planned for myself. It was so hard doing things that I normally do besides running, I was still going to work, trying to see my friends during the summer and to think positive but at times my mind went fully left field. There were times I’ve questioned myself will I ever run again, will I ever get to do the things I love again & counting down the days I get to walk on my two feet. It was sometimes hard to even go into the bathroom and use all my weight on one leg! I’ve learned so much about myself through this journey and I really want to thank god, my family, friends and the running community for being by my side through it all. After 3 months of not running , I started training for tsp solo, marathons and made a promise to myself to never take anything for granted. I always loved running because I simply loved being around the community & loved being little Yvonne running around , giving all my love everywhere I go, but my purpose of running got bigger than it was before. I promised that this year in 2025 I’m taking every race personal because it’s a love letter to myself to know how much I went through in 2024 and how much I continue to grow this year in 2025! I always thank god that everyday I’m alive to give me a second chance at life, from Disney marathon to tsp solo to doing little mini races, to being around the community running and being able to run with my two feet again & knowing what my body is capable of! I’m so proud of me lately! To started walking again to running now to doing epic things that I can never imagine doing & now continuing to inspire others to do the same✨ To me, I’m so proud of you! We came a long way, we continue to show up for us! 🤍 Stay outside , we outside ✨

TSP SOLO LALV 2025🖤🏜️🎰♣️🇵🇷🫧 Can I just say it’s been a beautiful journey. I’m very blessed and grateful to be part of tsp once again. Last year I got to curate a team called the bodega baddies and crew powerful women & non binary✨ this year I got to do this solo with the outsiders support crew 🎰🖤🏜️✨ Let’s just say this race is not easy at all. TSP is known for being one of the hardest races on earth and to say I got to run/crawl/wabble & walk from LA to LV humbled tf out of me✨. A lot happened behind closed doors that no one can ever see or fully understand. I could’ve stopped… yes… did I want to?absolutely not. My mind was whatever I do, I can get there. Let me remind you TSP strictly saids NO RULES & NO SPECTATORS RIGHT (except of course running on expressways and interstates, whoops)!?!! My crew didn’t give up on me , my bodega baddies and especially the people in the community who really believed in me helped me push to that finish line. Some segments were so sketchy and very unsafe with many things that could’ve happened but I trusted my crew and my own gut to get me to the finish line, worrying about my safety & coming back in one piece. Like Malcom said “this race is like life, you don’t know what you going to go through or what’s going to happen”. TSP is about problem solving & going with the positives and negatives, I didn’t complete the full 300 miles that I wanted to &skipped 2 segments for my safety that I don’t know if I would be writing this had i done them because there were times I really thought I was going to die out there, but to say I did it at my own pace, own time and had the best time with my outsiders was literally the top of the cake that I will always remember. I had the best crew ever and they reminded me so much of what I’m capable of.But to say they got me to the LV sign in one piece and logged in more then 200 plus miles means one of the biggest accomplishment I have ever done in my life, which NO ONE CAN TAKE FROM ME🫧💞 I can say I stepped on the start line and did something that many people would fear to do.

Stepping into 28 with a heart that’s softer, stronger, and wiser than ever before. ✨ This past year wasn’t easy, it was different, challenging, full of adaptation and lessons I didn’t always feel ready for but somehow, through it all, I grew. I learned. I became. Now, I’m choosing to embrace every single day, to find beauty even in the quiet moments, and to squeeze the absolute fullest out of every second of this life I’m blessed with. to everyone reading this , younger you would be SO incredibly proud of you. Don’t forget to give yourself the love you give everyone else. If I could say anything to my 16 year old self, it would be this Don’t think so much. Enjoying the easy days. Because life will challenge you and this is exactly why these unadulterated moments are so precious. Here’s to 28, more love for myself, more courage in my steps, and more living, deeply and unapologetically. 💫🌻✨

living out of a suitcase, chasing pretty views & soft smiles in different time zones 💋🌍🌸✨ 4/12
