The Jacket!

 







This photo holds so many memories—miles shared, finish lines crossed, and people I’ve had the honor of running alongside.

I’ve completed 25+ marathons, including 15 Ironman races (Including Kona) … but qualifying for the Boston Marathon with a 3:47 has been a challenge. Not because I can’t—but because I choose to run with others, to help them reach their goals.

So, one day, I ran Boston virtually on @iFIT with Ashley Jensen Paulson… and even got a “congratulations” email from there and yes ai posted it on April 7th.

Then my incredible sibling surprised me with a 2025 Boston Marathon jacket—and it felt like it found me for a reason. I’m so thankful she would do that for me!💛💙
But I’ve been sitting with this…
👉 Would you wear it? or continue to keep trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon or get in through a charity?
I love changing people lives with what I do and to focus on just me attempting that goal might be tougher than I think. Thoughts?
