#ailenefinished26point2

This date last year, I had a doctor's appointment where she had me set a goal to lose 10 pounds. Today, I'm so proud to share that I have reached that goal and then some, as I am now down 12 pounds! There's definitely more to it than the numbers, but I honestly do believe that the decision to run this past #LAMarathon2016 was a life-changing one, and one for the better (minus the strained hip flexor, but at least that's all that is)! 😍👍🏽🤗💜☀️#AilenesAdventureTo26Point2 #AileneFinished26Point2 #healAPIs #healthismorethananumber #feelwellbewell 💪🏽

Apparently, today is #MedalMonday. So here's to my first (& hopefully not my last) race medal! 😍❤️ #AileneFinished26Point2 #AilenesAdventureTo26Point2 #RunAPI #heavymedal

I'm still so amazed by this #RunAPI accomplishment! It was definitely one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Coming into the race yesterday morning with nasal congestion from a rearing cold, a 6-week hamstring strain & knee pain, and on my third day of menstruation was enough to challenge both my physical and mental strength without even considering the race course. But with the love, power, inspiration, and motivation of my team & our wonderfully #EPIC supporters, I am proud to say that I OFFICIALLY COMPLETED MY FIRST RACE, MY FIRST MARATHON, & MY FIRST LA MARATHON ALL IN ONE DAY! 💪🏽🏃🏽💨❤️ This win is for all of you, but especially for you, Kuya #AlbertAlsonIgnacioII. Thank you! ✨💛☀️ PS. Don't ever believe anyone who says that the LA marathon route is flat and/or all downhill. I swear we ran through all the hills and inclines LA had to offer yesterday! 😅😭 #AilenesAdventureTo26Point2 #AileneFinished26Point2 #14846 #teamAPIOPA #teamEPIC (at Finish Line of Los Angeles Marathon)
