What five marathons taught me about showing up

I’ve ran five marathons so far:

1. Marine Corps Marathon — Washington, D.C. area
2. Walt Disney World Marathon — Orlando
3. Publix Atlanta Marathon — Atlanta
4. Vermont City Marathon — Burlington
5. Chicago Marathon — Chicago

Each one taught me something different about pacing, training, and showing up on the day.

I’ll add a longer post later with a bit about each race and what stuck with me.
