🏅 I RAN MY FIRST HALF MARATHON! 🏅
Hi WAC family! 👋 It’s Sarah — Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Group Fitness Instructor… and one of the faces behind the social media content you see here! ❤️ Today, I’m stepping out from behind the posts for a little personal spotlight of my own.
The last Saturday in August, my husband and I packed up three of our kids and headed to Tennessee, where I completed my very first half marathon — 13.1 miles! 🏃♀️⛰️
There were hills. It was warm. It was hard.
But I did it. ❤️
And what makes this accomplishment even more meaningful is knowing where I started.
Years ago, before I started running, I couldn’t run for 30 seconds without feeling like I was dying. 😅 I never would have imagined that one day I’d be able to run miles at a time without stopping — let alone complete a HALF MARATHON.
But goals aren’t accomplished overnight.
This one took months of:
👟 Consistent training
🏋️ Strength work
❤️ Cardio conditioning
🥗 Nutrition planning
😴 Recovery
🧠 And continuing to show up, even when I didn’t feel like it.
There wasn’t one workout that got me across that finish line. It was the accumulation of all the small choices I made along the way.
And I think that’s such an important reminder when it comes to any fitness or nutrition goal.
Maybe your goal isn’t 13.1 miles.
Maybe it’s running your first mile.
Getting stronger.
Improving your energy.
Changing your nutrition habits.
Losing weight.
Building muscle.
Or simply becoming consistent with movement.
Whatever your goal is, start where you are.
Make a plan. Take the first step. Keep showing up. And give yourself enough time to see what you’re capable of. ❤️
I never thought I’d be a half marathon runner either.
Now I am. 🏅
If you have a fitness or nutrition goal that feels a little too big to tackle on your own, I’d love to help you create a plan and start taking steps toward it.
Come find me in club or reach out and let’s talk about what you’re working toward. 💪

Your finish line might look different than mine — but you still have to take that first step. ❤️
