@philybowden October, you were filled with so much joy ✨ The last few weeks of training for New York, a trip to Dublin to celebrate Ciara and Tommy, feeling fit and strong and nervous and excited for the race, seeing New York for the first time in all its crazy glory, and leaning into the unknown and not knowing what was coming I haven’t posted in over a week and honestly it feels weird to be here. It feels weird to go back to work and be online and act like things are normal, because nothing feels normal right now If I could go back and relive October all over again I would but I can’t and that’s just how life works What I can do is look back at these memories and be so grateful that I have them, and know that there are happy memories waiting for me somewhere in the future too 🫶🏼
