📸 Some happy times at the finish in Boston.
It turned out amazing when I last minute got offered a spot in the VIP all day viewing section and then I took that chance to take some photos for work for @runeliteprogram and for fun too!
Loved seeing @shazrine smile and love her moment :)

It was a great experience to capture CJ’s moments the day before the race. He’s such a great competitor but also such a friendly guy too. I’d recommend reading his words on his post as they will definitely make you see this special bottle process, and marathon prep in general, in a whole new perspective.
“People can change, and isn’t that awesome?”
Those were some thoughts I got from God today.
I’ve been trying to change some things in my life and have hit ruts in doing that where I forget the fact that “People Can Change”.
I’m believe in a Savior named Jesus Christ who made it possible to change, overcome mistakes, let go of shame and embarrassment.
I also am learning about my Savior’s strength called His Atonement. It’s a power I’m learning how it works. I know it can help everyone get special help, other than themselves, and strength so that “People Can Change”.
I’m thankful for a God and His Son who love me and help me change for the better :)

It was so fun to spend the week with my family and have a blast doing “road-trip” things. I’m love my parents so much for making experiences for us to enjoy together. They’re cool. I’m a fan.
I had so much fun getting “after” shots or shots where the athletes finish up and are by themselves. They walk away alone, or for a moment they are by themselves under the awning or holding a trophy where no one is looking at them, right before they go back into the chaos of fans. It’s those moments I love.
It makes me so happy to see people go out and crush it.
Now I’m even more hyped to train ;)
P.S. thanks @janfigueroa07 for the photo 👑

This was a highlight of my week. Zouhair is such a down to earth guy and chatted so genuinely with me in the brief minutes we had. It was so special to capture this day before he went and ran a 2:03! So stoked for him. Onward and upward
BOSTON MARATHON 2026. 14th Female, 7th American Female. 2:24:48. “Fierce, Flow, Fearless, and Faith”—Coach Eyestone’s plan of attack.
I had a good feeling about this one. The feeling was just good, and there were a lot of good indicators and signs giving me reasons to believe that I could believe the good feeling.
I didn’t want to take the pace out too fast, as I know that the marathon is a distance to be present with throughout the entire process.
And….well, there I was, in the moment, finding myself leading the pack for a lot of the first half, ha!
I’d find my thoughts telling me “Kodi, what are you doing?” It helped me stay calm, and stay in that moment of feeling strong and capable.
I’m not sure if it was the smartest way to run it, but I will say that I felt so much positive energy, being in the midst of fast, strong, driven women. And, the result of this race was so rewarding, with a PB in the marathon (2:24:48) and the half marathon distance, too (1:11:02).
I can’t express enough gratitude for all the people who believe and love me @runeliteprogram@runnerscornerutah@athlecaresportsrecovery@zachhunter.creative@enduura.nutrition@t3endurancesports@the_runstrong_coach and, of course, to all my friends and family 💜
