I Ran My First Marathon Yesterday on My Birthday! 🏅26.2 Miles
Yesterday, I did something I’ve been working toward for months—I ran my first marathon on my birthday! 🎉 But let me tell you, it was not smooth at all. Everything that could’ve gone wrong pretty much did. 😅 First, my water pack’s tube wasn’t working, so I had to figure out how to hydrate every few miles without it. Then, my phone hit 10% with 10 miles left to go. I had to turn my brightness down, and from that point on, it was just me, my thoughts, and my will to finish. No music, no distractions. My phone ended up dying with 4 miles to go. Even my Fitbit restarted in the middle of the race, messing up my progress tracking. But despite everything, I finished. That’s what matters most. I learned that no matter what obstacles life throws your way, you’ve got to keep pushing and find a way to cross that finish line. It’s not about how perfect the journey is—it’s about your persistence and will to succeed. 💡 I’ll be dropping a full video on YouTube soon, so stay tuned for the full breakdown of this crazy experience. But for now, just know: if you’re feeling like the odds are stacked against you, keep going. The finish line is always worth it. 💪🏾🔥 What obstacle did you overcome today? Drop your win below! 👇🏾
