Team, here's your reminder that fitness is a journey. Despite putting in the effort, things might not always work out perfectly. 🏋️‍♂️ It's about embracing the experience, the challenges, and the sense of community we share! The first picture captures the moment after my marathon in May when I qualified for Boston with a cushion of two minutes and 31 seconds. 🏅 However, I later discovered that due to a high number of applicants, qualifying times were further reduced this year. 😔 The second picture is the email I received today, stating that my time didn't meet the new criteria. But you know what? I don't feel bad for myself! I run mostly for fun, and the experience alone was totally worth it. 🏃‍♂️ I'm incredibly proud of the race I ran, and I wouldn't change a thing. Here’s to staying strong and pursuing what we love! 💪🎉 #keeprunning #bostonmarathon2024 #fitnessisajourney #runforfun #stronggirlsclub
