Day 1 of training for the 2026 NYC Marathon. I’ve never considered myself a runner. I’ve always enjoyed running, I’ve just never had anything to run for. At 37 years old and 240lbs, I’ve lost complete control of my health, habits and self discipline. So I’ve decided to force myself into doing something extreme. But the marathon isn’t the goal, it’s the motivator. The goal is to lose 40 lbs, develop healthy habits and shake the bad ones - in all areas of my life. Running is now the reason for not going out, not having another drink, not ordering a pizza when I don’t feel like cooking… If I have a run in the morning, the choices I make tonight matter. And if I’m running a marathon, the choices I make today will matter in twelve months. I’m starting from zero. So join me as I document the journey. As someone who’s never run more than a 5k, I’ve got a long way to go… literally. See you soon, NYC. #nycmarathon #marathonmentality #training #runner #running

Cap 10k was such an incredible experience. This was only my second 10k race so I was excited to push myself. Plan was to start slow and controlled and increase pace as I go. Was going well until I realized mile 5 was actually only mile 4 🤦🏻‍♂️ so I pulled back a bit to catch my breath for a bit before pushing towards the finish. Course was much hillier than anticipated but I just slowed down going up and sped up going down. Finished with a PR and soaked in the Finish Festival vibes (literally) with a cold plunge and some live music. I was a sweaty mess by the end of it but it was awesome. Mile 1: 12:10 Mile 2: 11:47 Mile 3: 11:11 Mile 4: 10:15 Mile 5: 10:56 Mile 6: 10:20 Total time: 1:09:34 (PR) Avg pace: 10:58 🗣️@Jennie Oh thanks again for the shout out! #runtok #runaustin #cap10katx #austintexas #drumrunner
