Loved this essay Cissy! I had a very similar feeling to your Berlin marathon when I ran Boston. Interesting to see that I wasn't alone in those thoughts!

Such a complex feeling to sit with after an intense training season! Really wild to see how varying each person's marathon experience is. Kudos on Boston, such a beast of a course 🤌🏼

Cissy wow this resonated so deeply with me as I go inward and try to understand why I do hard things. Becoming a triathloner and open-water swimmer over the past year has injected new senses of agency in my life as well :)

I appreciate you so much writing and sharing this and letting me feel so seen!
