100: MY 5th Marathon (Solo Episode - HAPPY 100 EPISODES!!)

This week I am breaking down my fifth marathon and closing the chapter on what has been one of the most chaotic, emotional, and growth filled years of running I have ever had. Richmond came together after an injury filled spring, a party pace summer, and zero plans to race again in 2025. Then an unexpected opportunity popped up, three weeks of prep began, and suddenly I was lining up for a marathon I never thought I would get to run for myself this year.

This episode walks through the entire story from the frustration of losing a time goal back in April to finding joy again in training, testing out paces on tired legs, running Richmond on day two of my period, and finally crossing the finish line with a five minute PR that felt like the most meaningful win of my year. It is more than a race recap. It is the full circle moment that reminded me why I run, what this sport has taught me, and why episode 100 feels so special.
