I was covered in Vaseline, Gatorade, and salty sweat in this photo. I had stomach cramps, spasming muscles, and was pretty sure I was losing a toenail. I went through so many different emotions during this year’s @chimarathon and wanted to back out for more than half of the 26.2 miles. What stands out for me the most, though, is the joy I felt at the starting line, seeing @colleen.varley and @meprzezd at mile 25, and watching @kelsey.korragsd finish her first marathon 🙌 It wasn’t a PR day for me but I’m closer to knowing what I’m capable of and I’ll be back for more 🏃🏼‍♀️
