Triumph Tuesday!
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to @Kristine Owen Wood! She ran in the Royal Victoria Marathon this past weekend, and while it didn’t go quite how she envisioned, I am in awe of her drive and her decision to listen to her body and prioritize her health and safety! I know that training for months on end can be extremely tough, and then to have race day go sideways is crushing, to say the least. I hope you know that we all support you and think that you are such an amazing role model for how to do what you love without letting it injure you! 🩵 (I didn’t make a post yesterday because I wasn’t sure if you would want this highlighted or not, but I think you deserve all the praise and admiration!)

Aw @Emily Bailey you are such a sweetheart, thank you for this post 💙 I don’t mind you sharing at all and when it comes to training and racing I’m an open book. Long story short for anyone reading this: had a really great build, didn’t feel good on race day, 1st 5mi crowded and chaotic, stomach trouble + bathroom stop at mi 12, right Achilles started hurting, hit the wall at mi 20, tried to walk and restart running but Achilles was cooked, dropped out at mi 21. It REALLY sucked to make that call, but it was the right move. I was a mess and there’s no way I could have made it to the finish. I hated the marathon for about 24 hours but I’m feeling much better now 😅 The real win is having friends and community like you! And don’t worry, once I’m all healed up I’ll get back to training and try again 💪🏻
