Half marathon in the pouring down rain this morning! Headphones didn’t work, hip cramped up, and I didn’t quite make my time goal, but I still finished💪

How it started vs. how it’s going - I ran a half marathon!! 🎉
Twitter post from Mackenzie in October 2024: question for people who run: does it ever stop being terrible? When?? I’m not trying to go far or fast, I just want to be able to run a couple miles without feeling like I’m dying Mackenzie, a white woman with curly red hair, wearing a half marathon medal and a puffy shell jacket with black leggings and blue running shoes
