Well hello there! My name is Rachelparr and I am so incredibly happy to be here today. I just completed the New York Marathon and boy was it a blast! I'm originally from Scandinavia but I moved here a few years ago to pursue my dream of running marathons in all 50 states.
I've always been into sports, even as a kid. I played soccer and tennis, did gymnastics and dancing...you name it, I probably tried it at some point. When I was about 18 years old, I decided to start running and it just sort of took off from there.
As you can see, I'm wearing a headband with the NY Marathon logo on it! It's so exciting to be able to run in such an iconic place like Central Park. The energy here is just amazing and it really helps push me to go that extra mile.
I hope everyone is enjoying themselves today as much as I am. This is a great opportunity for us all to come together and celebrate our love of running, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle. And if you don't mind my asking, how did YOU get involved in this wonderful sport?
