Phoebe Robinson Instagram – I CAN. FUCKING. DO. ANYTHING. I started running last March as a new hobby. Fell in love with it. Did some races. And last September, (RED) asked me to run this race for them. And I did it! Wow. Surprising yourself is the coolest thing! Cannot wait to do another marathon!
Running the @bostonmarathon with a chest cold is a specific kind of masochistic hell. 10 out of 10 do not recommend. Haha. But for real, the race was a surreal, incredible, once in a lifetime experience. No matter how much you prep, train, when it’s race day, you just have to meet the moment & see what you’re really made of. I saw ppl vomiting, limping, struggling; my parents lost count of how many people they saw pass out at or near the finish line. The Boston Marathon is a beast like no other and sick or not, I refused to give up.
1) Post race right after I go my medal, my dad took this photo. I was so happy, tired, and proud of myself. Baby is a marathoner!
2) On Saturday, @bankofamerica invited me and the rest of Team (RED) to a Red Sox game and I got to represent (RED) on the field during special recognition before the game started. Jumpsuit: @wearewildfang
3) Team @red – @dan_churchill, @jeffreymce, @bellezel & I – got to pose with the World Champion trophy. Neat!
4) My parents showed up looking fly AF in their matching Boston Marathon jackets that I got them. 🥰🥰
5) (RED) gang pre-race.
6) Me right before getting my marathon cherry popped.
7) Saw so many great signs thruout the race. This made me stop and laugh so hard.
8) Heartbreak Hill was no joke. Truly was hard. About 13 miles into the marathon, it felt like someone was pressing down/sitting on my chest, but I remained calm and stuck to my plan: running up HH, which was between miles 20 and 21 and lasted 1/2 mile, without stopping. And I did it!
9) This was towards the end. I was fighting for my life for the last 4 miles. I told myself to keep moving. Never stop. And remember my why: I’m doing this for (RED). It’s bigger than me. But also: this IS for me. To test myself mentally and physically.
10) My dad took the photo. He tidied up all the tables behind me because they were messy with food. #DadsOfInstagram #BostonMarathon | Posted on 16/Apr/2024 20:30:00
