Paris - 2

I'm feeling like Noah Lyles (started strong) and Eliud Kipchoge (DNF); neither was in top form for last race, but have raced, finished and won before. I made it to Paris (thank you to everyone who helped me get here), but I didn't perform as I had hoped. I started out good, but quickly lost my pace; I needed to maintain 13-minute pace. Unfortunately, I was swept (picked up) with others in the Marathon Pour Tous. We all thought we could finish, but the race was at night and leaving Paris. They couldn't guarantee our safety once we left the Paris district. The course was well lit, but there wouldn't be any public transport to Versailles or back if we needed it later. I am very disappointed in myself. Fortunately, I enrolled in the Conqueror Paris Virtual Challenge too so I'll get that medal. I've known for some time that I would be giving up the marathon distance. I wanted this to be my swan song. I came. I saw. I successfully did the Conqueror Paris Virtual Challenge and the Marathon Pour Tous Connected Challenge in Paris. I have one Chicago Marathon left to do in October, and then I'll become the 10k queen. It's been a splash.

Welp! Wheels up in about 24 hours.

The event I'm participating in, Marathon Pour Tous, starts at 9pm Paris time which is 2pm CST on Saturday, August 10th. I'm not sure if it will be televised. My bib number is 12771. They haven't given us the tracking link yet. I will post as soon as they do.

Thanks again for your love and support. I couldn't have done it without you. ❤✌🏾✊🏾🏃🏿‍♀️

I know you've been enjoying the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024. There are seven days til I lift off for gay Paree, and ten days til I participate in the Marathon Pour Tous. My running tshirt is ready; I'm still adding names to my "Finisher" tshirt. There's time to add yours.

Remember, you can contribute, and we can all be in Paris. 😘 https://gofund.me/cae6043d

Three days until the start of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 and 18 days until the Marathon Pour Tous (MPT). It's getting real, ya'll, and it's never too late to donate. Too late for your name to be on tshirt, but not too late to donate. 😘 https://gofund.me/cae6043d

Da Nu Phorty in Paris 2024 -

Borrowing from Mario Wiggins "Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance."

We're 70 days away from Marathon Pour Tous, one of the closing events for the 2024 Summer Olympics. I've been selected to participate, and I have to stay on my P's - prayer, priorities, peace, positivity and patience. My preparation has to include pre- and post-race P's: potassium, peanut butter, pretzels, pickles/pickle juice, pasta, pedialyte, protein, pain killer, petroleum jelly, and peppermints. To prevent being parched, proper water intake is preferred. Preparation through training is vital, but rest is part of the program and not to be passively taken. Phorty is preparing for Paris.

Reminder, please donate, and we can all be on our P's in Paris. 😘 https://gofund.me/cae6043d

Week Two
Day Three
100 Days to Opening Ceremony
115 Days to 2024 Paris Marathon Pour Tous

Hill work. A little over three miles. Stayed at 59 minutes to see how much faster I need to get to do four miles of hills in an hour. I have a lot of work to do on those hills.
