Happiness at the finish line! Seriously never seen myself that happy before in my life, I felt awesome at the finish, I really had so much fun that day! #tcsnycmarathon #marathoner #smile #finisher #cheesin #runhappynyc #run #runner #runchat #raceday #wearemarathoners

Mile 26; I’m 400 feet from the finish and I heard my name being yelled and screamed out loud, and look to my right and my soulmates were there! Best surprise ever!! My aunt and two cousins were there cheering and screaming with excitement it was the final push I needed at the finish line!! And they gave me the most awesome recovery basket after with chocolate, vitamin water, icy hot, foot scrub, band aids, kt tape, headbands, a facial mask, and some Chapstick! Best basket ever!! #tcsnycmarathon #wearemarathoners #memories #family #soulmates #runhappynyc

Running happy through Brooklyn! Brooklyn was amazing!! The crowds were pumped and loud the entire time it was awesome! #tcsnycmarathon #runningfamily #wearemarathoners #runhappynyc #nyir #NYInstarunners

Hanging with this crew the morning of the marathon definitely helped calm my nerves! #tcsnycmarathon #wearemarathoners #runhappynyc #runningfamily #nyir #NYInstarunners

Our finish from the live feed on ABC ch.7! The 3 of us just clicked from start to finish looking out for each other the whole day, and this finish was a very special moment for us, we were all in pain, but together we kept pushing, and together we had an amazing marathon experience I will never forget! Thank you for the memories @p1ernaszlocasz2011 & @run4life_33! 😘😘 #tcsnycmarathon #wearemarathoners And no, I’m not done flooding my feed with pictures! 😁 unfollow if u must!

How many of your friends became marathoners or ran a marathon today?? @therunningchef caught great shots at mile 21! And I’m so inspired by all of these people I’m lucky to call friends and teammates! Guys we showed up today and we all did an incredible job in that horrible wind today! #tcsnycmarathon #wearemarathoners

I have never been so happy before in my life! And this was at mile 21!! I smiled the whole way! And I’m on such a high I can’t sleep! Thanks @therunningchef for the awesome picture! #tcsnycmarathon #marathoner

My newest hardware! I love it!! And I had the best time today, it was really the best experience I’ve ever had running, I enjoyed the marathon from start to finish, even when it was hurting I was so happy to be there and experience it, and to have two friends by my side the entire time, and my family and friends all along the course I felt like such a rockstar! NYC was where it was at today! And then I hugged @nyrrmaryruns at the finish line and told her thanks for throwing the best party of the year! #tcsnycmarathon #marathoner Oh and I’m totally rocking my medal for the whole week!

26.2 miles of pure happiness!! This was right before we entered Columbus Circle, and I seen my family waiting and screaming and cheering, it was the last boost I needed that sent me to the finish with the biggest smile on my face!! #tcsnycmarathon #marathoner

My girl @sassycat114 was a champ today!!! She was out there super early waiting for me, and I was so happy to see her, thanks for coming out Cat!! #tcsnycmarathon #marathoners

This marathon was so much fun, and I had a blast because the three of us stuck together from start to finish pushing each other the whole way! I wouldn’t have had this much fun of it weren’t for them, my marathon sisters, I love you girls! @run4life_33 @p1ernaszlocasz2011 #tcsnycmarathon #marathoners
