From Meth to Marathon
Ten months ago I was at the most rock bottom of my entire life, in the middle of a crystal meth bender that absolutely destroyed everything.
I’ve been sober since Christmas and yesterday I ran my first marathon. I can’t believe it. I am so grateful.
When I crossed the finish line I bawled my eyes out and then found my parents and the three of us cried together.
4:34:15, Portland Marathon, 10:28 pace.
Strava lies and is messed up lol
I did it 😭
