Hi Everyone,

i got into running last summer and started to take it seriously in october 2025. i told myself 2026 i would run my first half marathon and a marathon.

i did the half back in April and nothing felt better. i was afraid to sign up for a marathon and Philly has been on my list and one night i decided to take the plunge and sign up for Philly so here I am.

Running is much more than just time on my feet. It’s for my mental health and I know it’s the same for a lot of other people.

i’m so excited for this journey to my first marathon! and I’ve heard amazing things about Philly specifically!

if anyone is from Nj, would love to connect and maybe get some runs in!!!!!

looking forward to getting some tips and fueling tips as well for my first! SO EXCITED!
