Big congrats to our client Maria on conquering her first marathon at the Clearwater Running Festival in Florida! She writes,
“If you told me 1 year ago that I would train AND run a Marathon I would have never believed it.
My journey began in January 2022 when I ran a 5k race for a work function. I was immediately hooked and I set the goal for a half marathon in November 2023. The day after my half marathon I decided to sign up for Clearwater’s Running Festival Marathon.
MTA Coach Carri assured me that I was not crazy for wanting to train for my first marathon in 10 weeks, and I got to work.
Suddenly, running had changed my priorities and disciplined me in ways I would have never imagined. My usual Friday night Margaritas changed to Friday night carb loading, and being in bed by 9pm to prepare for my Saturday long runs.
I am so happy to have found this sport/community, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me”. -Maria C
