On August 11th, 2023, @TheRealMerb told me he didn’t think I was capable of running back-to-back 5:45 miles. And I took that personally!

Last night, I ran a PR of 10:30 for 3000m! I just wish the race was a lap-ish longer so I could’ve proved him wrong.

Starting the year off right 😤

🗣️ “It’s, ‘What did we do right?’ not, ‘What did we do wrong?’ We did so much right. All of us, to be that fit on that day.”

What we did right > what we did wrong 💭

Confidence, self-belief, sticking to your goals, and trusting your path 👏

My roommate at CIM gave me tons of awesome advice throughout the weekend.

One of her reminders was the importance of slightly underdoing it to avoid injuries even if you want to train harder.

It reminded me of our Q&A with Dylan Schubert where he shared a similar perspective ⤵️

Officially a marathoner ✅

Media girlie turned marathon girlie for the day! Had a blast racing in the elite field at CIM this morning.

Grateful for the experience and opportunity to connect with so many incredible people along the way. I love this sport!

Already dreaming about the next one! 💭

Unranked ➡️ Runner-Up

It’s the ultimate underdog story ⤵️

🗣️ “I’m still new to the marathon. I’ve run 2:06. Doesn’t mean I know everything about it. I’m still learning. It’s a process.”

Loved this moment from Biya Simbassa on the CITIUS MAG Podcast today. After his breakout race, he remains grounded, humble, & focused on learning ⤵️
