Running My First Marathon - Austin 2025

26.2 miles. No matter what, I was going to finish. After months of training, setbacks, and pushing through injuries, I finally ran my first marathon, the Austin Marathon 2025. The goal was 4:15, but at the end of the day, the real challenge was just getting to the finish line. I crossed it in 4:18. This was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, both physically and mentally, but that’s what makes it worth it. What’s next? More races. Bigger challenges. The journey is just beginning.
