Dedicating this to my Mother back home in the Philippines on our first upcoming Mother's Day apart.
Huge thanks to my Oliva-Ma family for their incredible hospitality during my final 3 weeks of training here in Oregon.
Thank you to my EZ Endurance athletes and friends for your messages of support these past weeks.
Grateful for HOKA Philippines for warmly welcoming me. Excited to meet the Hoka Run Club as your run captain!
Deep gratitude to the amazing TrackTown USA community -- volunteers, police, medics, organizers, the 3:00 pacer, fellow participants, and the University of Oregon community. Seeing all the track clubs and run clubs makes it such an inviting and relaxing race weekend atmosphere.
It was thrilling to meet my running hero and an American Running Legend Keira D'Amato at the shakeout run. Absolutely uplifting to see her again and The PR Project Crew at around mile 16? I was too tired to remember exactly at which mile but seeing them cheering us on took away some of the fatigue
Finishing my best marathon on the historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon is an experience I will never forget. To the Filipinos or to anyone really who's looking to do their first overseas marathon, make it the Eugene Marathon
You are fantastic, Eugene, Oregon
