Still reminiscing and reflecting on one of my favorite Richmond memories of 2022…running the Richmond Marathon! 🥳🏃🏽♀️🏅
Running a marathon had been on my bucket list for the longest time and I am proud to say I finally did it! On November 18, 2021, I signed up for the 2022 Richmond Marathon, not fully knowing yet the commitment I had just signed up for. I knew it wasn’t something I could do on my own, so I joined the Sports Backers Marathon Training Team (@sbmtt) and trained with them for 23 weeks since the beginning of June. We ran through 90 degree summer weather and 40 degree rain but nothing prepared me for the sweltering weather on race day that was 25-30 degrees hotter than it should have been (I was sweating before it even started lol). Around mile 16, I realized with the weather conditions I simply was not going to achieve my pace/time goal so I had to adjust my expectations a bit. After seeing people collapsing left and right, my goal just became to finish and have fun rather than racing it!
I have to give credit to all the MTT coaches who helped me turn around my negative mindset into a positive one and make the most of the situation despite circumstances being out of my control. As you can see, I was smiling for the entire race thanks to my coaches, friends, and family that supported me on race day! ❤️
I am proud to say I’m officially a marathoner and have to say thanks to the @sportsbackers Richmond Marathon for living up to all the hype! Training for and finishing 26.2 miles was such a humbling experience and now I can finally say I’m part of the <1% that has run a marathon!
Next up, I’ll be conquering the Monument Avenue 10k on April 22, 2023. There’s a price increase at midnight so sign up now and join me in less than 3 months!

This page felt super easy to take in right away—no walls of text, just quick bits that actually tell you what you need. I was mostly skimming the headings and then ended up clicking into Drift Boss in the middle of it, and it loads fast and gets you playing without any extra steps. The one-button thing sounds almost too simple, but once you’re drifting on those narrow platforms you realize you’ve gotta time it pretty carefully. I also like that it doesn’t clutter the screen with distractions, so you can focus on the game info without hunting for it. The “How to Play” section is set up as a clean, obvious block with the tap release basics right there.
tỷ lệ kèo nhà cái mình thấy bạn bè nói hoài nên hôm qua rảnh bấm vào coi thử cho biết. Mình không phải dân cược gì đâu, chủ yếu tò mò xem họ trình bày có dễ theo dõi không. Vào cái là thấy bảng kèo bóng đá trực tuyến để dạng bảng cột nhìn khá “thẳng hàng”, có giờ trận rõ ràng nên lướt nhanh vẫn bắt nhịp được. Mình thích nhất là họ tách phần cả trận với hiệp 1 riêng, khỏi phải đoán đang xem mục nào. Ngoài ra có đoạn giải thích “kèo nhà cái là gì” viết kiểu đơn giản, đọc vài phút là hiểu sơ sơ mấy khái niệm cơ bản. Nói chung…
