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

I have the best family a girl could ask for! It’s race day and the first picture I see are these signs they made for me with my Instagram pics from running throughout the years! 😢😢😢 I’m gonna be crying all day! I can’t wait to find them! My family will be located in Queens with these signs, cowbells, and big yellow happy face balloons! 😄😄😄 let’s give them one hell of a show runners!!! #raceday #tcsnycmarathon #showtime #letsgo #runhappynyc #tcsnycm #nycmarathon #nyir #nyinstarunners #family #justdoit
