My First NYC Marathon is Done!

Oh Lord, I can't believe I actually qualified, trained for, and ran this marathon! I have had my eyes on the NYC Marathon for a long time as the biggest marathon in the world. In fact, I have had my eyes on a marathon for a long time. It's so difficult to believe you can actually make your body run 26.2 miles at once.

But with the support of my friends, the right running schedule, and the right strength training and stretching schedule, yesterday I successfully ran my first marathon. This is totally going on my resume by the way.

I ran my first 20 miles!

So it's no secret that I have been training for the NYC marathon. I'm excited, scared, nervous, happy, all things at once. And I've hurt myself a couple of times. So when I do reach a big milestone, it is celebrated as a BIG milestone. This weekend, I ran my first 20 miler. I am so proud of myself and I wanted to share it, but the journey continues and I will be back at it next week.

Are you training for any races?

Cheers Eights & Weights!

I'm In! The 2014 New York City Marathon

Yay! I've worked hard on this all year so I'm really happy I'm finally in. Yes, I still had to pay a hefty sum, but I'm walking on clouds so it's okay...lol. I'll be raising awareness for a Nigerian charity as part of my run campaign, so if you know any charities you think I should know about, please reach out :)

Cheers Eights & Weights!
