“Can I stop here?!?”
Yesterday I ran 45 miles from Shirlington to Purcellville, VA, across the entirety of the Washington & Old Dominion Trail. [Upload & Approval Pending 🤓] I ran it faster than any woman (supported) to date, setting a new FKT or @fastestknowntime in the process.
This effort redefined what a magically supported effort for me can be. From the moment I began sharing this goal weeks ago to the Purcellville finish, I was never alone. 29 friends in total (hell yeah, I counted) supported me in every imaginable way from organizing it all to the many, mostly wet miles shared to hugs & glitter & good, good vibes.
I was ready for this effort to get difficult, requiring that I run further on pavement than I ever had before 🤪 But I was also ready to move through it with extraordinary people. Who’s to say what’s possible when we move in this way?
