I ran my first half marathon on Saturday!! It was so hard 😫😅 I only started running this year and I used to think I couldn't run a 5k but I ended up running 2 5ks, 2 10ks and now a half marathon! 🤯 I'd like to try a full marathon next year but I really don't know how I could run for twice as long 💀

Trip update: we didn't end up climbing Mont Blanc because of bad weather but we did Gran Paradiso in Italy!
It was more challenging than I expected but because there was also drama in our group, one person can really ruin the experience for everyone... 🫤 Still happy I did it though!

Getting ready to climb the Mont Blanc! 😃🏔️
We're starting with a test climb of Gran Paradiso in Italy and if it goes well, we'll climb the Mont Blanc early next week!
The weather forecast isn't good so I'm not super hopeful but if we're lucky, I'll be all the way up there at 4,806m (15,770ft)! 🤞🏻
