First half-marathon under my feet!!

I was 200 lbs (when I started).

I am asthmatic.

I am flatfooted.

I am busy as a full-time #STEM startup #entrepreneur.

I am busy as a PhD Student at #Columbia.

There was a hole in my shoe on race day.

It rained during the entire race.

I could reach the Linkedin character limit typing out all potential excuses for not finishing this race.

Instead, I decided to commit to finishing, regardless of the elements. I'm so glad I stayed true!

First half-marathon under my feet!!

And no, I didn't stop a single time. 😉

Running this race has opened my mind to so much!

Pretty sure I'll have to complete a full one now.
