Thinking back to it, I never ran more than 7 miles in training, so I don’t think I would’ve been able to run 13 miles regardless. My friend Molly had already run a half marathon the summer before and agreed to sign up for Newport Beach one with me in May 2017, but it hailed on us that morning and there was just no way I was going to run 13 miles, so I didn’t. I studied abroad in Prague in the fall of 2016 and needed something to work toward to keep myself in shape when I got back to college. This is my friend Grace who ran at state championships and has since run a marathon #fitspo Even back then, the most I’d run was 6 miles, but several of my peers ran half marathons in high school and I guess I’ve always just wanted to see if I could run one. In other words, I wasn’t even at the top of junior varsity and I was nothing remarkable. Before you look me up on, my 5K PR was 24:22. I played soccer growing up and ran cross country for two years in high school, but I wasn’t that good.
