Never say never! 😆

In a previous life (pre-kids), I tackled IronMan triathlons—a 2.4-mile swim, 112 bicycle miles, and a full 26.2-mile marathon. Despite IronMan enthusiasts insisting otherwise, it does take a toll on your body. 🥵 Recently, I adamantly declared I’d never run another full marathon, but I guess things change.

Last year, after a 12-year break, I returned to marathons, qualified for Boston, only to be cut due to high applicants. Determined to snag that Boston qualification again, I entered a 2024 summer marathon, but self-induced pressure has my anxiety skyrocketing. 😬

Meanwhile, my husband, who initially registered for the upcoming LA marathon to reignite his passion for running, decided to pull out. Now, I’m taking his place next month. Running LA has always been a dream, and doing it under my husband’s name relieves the pressure, letting me savor the race. 🏃‍♀️

Who else will be at the LA Marathon? 🏃‍♂️

Should we aim for New York next? 🗽
