✨ 1:54:35 — Half Marathon Complete! ✨
I ran the Queen City Half Marathon in July at 2:02:03. I set a goal of finishing under 2 hours this past weekend and I crossed the finish line at 1:54:35. This wasn’t just about running a race, it was about proving to myself that consistent choices add up.
From sticking to my early morning routine, coffee 😆, journaling, prayer, meditation to the training miles, to fueling my body with intention, to choosing to show up instead of sit back, dare to be different; those choices stacked together carried me to the finish line.
We don’t control the outcome, but we do control our choices. And those choices are what build the strength, endurance, and mindset it takes to hit goals.
And imagine this: what if you started making one healthier choice? What if you started today — October 1st — the first day of a new month? Think about where those small, consistent choices could take you by the end of this month, this year, or even a year from now. You can complain about everything if you’d like or you can choose to change.
I also couldn’t have done this without my support team — my kids and Travis cheering me on every step of the way, and my sister wrangling the crew so I could focus on running. Also, having a fellow personal trainer and amazing friend show up at the finish line with her two boys! 🧡 Having them there reminded me that big goals aren’t just individual victories — they’re shared celebrations. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Today, I’m grateful for the journey, proud of the discipline, and excited to see what’s next. 💪
