Grandma’s marathon - 2:48:55 ✅

Marathon #4 on the year and 3rd in 3 months! This one was especially tough with the heat and humidity. I was hoping for a sub 2:45 but after the first 10k I knew that probably wasn’t going to happen with the given conditions. But still gave it my best effort! Consumed all 2,500 mg of sodium I carried by mile 17 and had to rely on the blue Powerade on the course, hence the blue mouth. 😂 Good times! 💪

Chipping away ⏳🏃‍♂️💨

Mesa Marathon 2025: 2:45:39 – a nearly 5-minute PR!

Marathon #6 in the books, and the pace is getting faster each year! From 2:59 ➡️ 2:50 ➡️ 2:45, it’s been a journey of patience, consistency, and a lot of miles. Training smarter, increasing volume, and dialing in the nutrition details have all played a role.

This race was all about ex*****on – controlled pacing, trusting the legs, and digging deep when it counted. Fired up to keep chasing those limits!

Onward to the next one! 🔥🏁
