A moment in time

"if I make it to 5th Avenue in one piece, it's over."

Time to hang the cleats? I just cannot believe it...
Ran the race of my life. No better place than here in this town 💛

Toronto 2023 I threw the towel a bit over halfway. This time around, at the same point in the course, I was trying to figure out "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING & WHY AM I STILL RUNNING COMFORTABLY!?"... for 3/4 of the race I was flying with such ease it was actually scaring me. It did get troubling around 30K, and understandably so. I only had three 30K runs in this training cycle, and that was that. So, I was definitely in uncharted territory.

STARS ALIGNED
Everything I could've asked for. Almost perfect weather, not too hot, not too cold, little to no wind, every single damn variable external was in our favor that day... If only I had what it took...

Thanks to the lessons learned from Toronto’s dress rehearsal half race, there was no fumbling this time. Planned to its finest details − executed to the best I could. Ironic; until the day before I was so sore I could laugh at the idea of going for a SUB-3... but by some miracle at the start line, I felt, ready?

A window of opportunity presented itself...
ONE CHANCE. that's all you'll get. Universe uttered. 
"Thank you," I said, and began an unrelenting effort. 
One chance. That's all I got Ali
One chance was all I needed. 

Entering Bronx, I contemplated quitting...
[ I have not come this far to only come this far ]
Remembered that quote. "Pain is temporary", you said to me. SUB-3 will be forever, I said to myself. Heard your cheers loud and clear. You saw this coming from way before... of course. how naïve of me to doubt myself. this was written in my destiny.

Entering Central Park after that diabolical climb, the last 3K to the finish line is all but a painful blur.

In the process I had to run my 9th-fastest 15K, 3rd-fastest half, and venture deep into the painful and the unknown. but in the end and by the grace of God, I somehow emerged victorious. 

WHAT WENT WELL + HIGHLIGHTS 
🗽 not getting distracted by the runners passing me by throughout the course, and staying locked in with my pace. "this is my race"
🗽 training in these streets, getting a subconscious feel of what comes when and where... really helped to know when to put some pace and where to hold back
🗽 THE CROWD... the first major challenge was the hills at Lafayette around 15K. bad thoughts were creeping in, but once coming down, I just hugged the sides and threw up my hand for a good minute of high-fives and smiles. Joyous kids, intrigued adults, beautiful women, you name it... In Williamsburg in Bedford I was absolutely ecstatic pushing the pace just by receiving love from high-fives. 
🗽 THE EVER-DEAFANING RUMBLE of the crowd awaiting us in First Av as I was going down towards them with speed, having put behind the worst of the Queensboro bridge with a tactical slowing. I can't tell you the excitement I was feeling as I sped up to meet them sooner... Kinda hysterical lmao!
🗽 not being a fool, taking gels. One around 8K, 17K, 27K, 35K. just the right amount.
🗽 Tiny extendable straw from Amazon! world of difference when you are trying to run at this speed and want to drink from a fucking cup. really did not expect it to work this well wow. It was all 3 minutes inside 3 hour so these little things do add up. Had zero issues with the water. Dude I felt like the most badass mf out there EACH TIME a water station would be approaching and I would be pulling that little bastard out of my pockets lmao! one of the many smart decisions of the day,
🗽 the unsung legends giving out hand-held water bottles at certain points in the course... they were not part of the actual table setup of volunteers but just going out of their way to make things conducive for a legendary tale of a lifetime like this. IT ALL ADDED UP.
🗽 Having my phone with me. Google Assistant and one true angel to not let me let go just yet. Mile 20 entering the Bronx up the Willis av bridge I began having some serious doubts whether I could hold the pace for the rest of it... was ready to let go. 

but then again, it was you 🦋  out there looking out for ME? "Fuck the pain I'm not stopping until it's done". Had my back when I was so unsure of what I could do ❤️ 143 

WHAT DID NOT GO WELL
− not much honestly... not trying to be cool. but nothing major went astray, really. ok here are some of the smaller things. The third gel in First Av was more like chocolate milk than an actual gooey gel. wasnt expecting it to be so damn runny so I did get my hands sticky for some time. luckily water stations every corner to the rescue. another issue was early on I tried all the water stations and that was not necessary... made my stomach cramp a bit before halfway and was momentarily scared that could it be appendicitis... but thankfully it was just a simple "screw you" from my body for torturing it. and so I adjusted.

Lafayette / Bedford @Williamsburg / entering 1st Av. 🦋 PURE ECSTASY

For a year, I lived, breathed, and dreamed this race. Every night, every day, every hour, the thought was always with me. I just wanted to experience its thrill. I wasn't looking forward to anything spectacular other than doing what I loved the most in this life, in the city I adored the most – running the New York City marathon. It was not meant to be about me running fast, but at the same time, it's just so fucking awesome that I could do what I did, here. Our bond will never be broken. 3 hours that are now just a blink 😭 wish I could feel it again
