Valery M. Ortiz Instagram – This trip revived me. I’m realigned with my purpose and the things I want to do and see before my Earthly journey is complete. I’m beyond thankful for @aracelis9606 for making my dream a new one of her own and coming with me on this epic adventure. Moms are the best. 🙏🏽
I’m thankful for @jrthegymnasticscoach for sharing all of your tips with me and validating my huge desire to run on #TheGreatWallofChina You knew it’d change me.
Thank you @that_fit_mom for sharing your Beijing journey with us so we could be prepared for all – the – things. Because of you, we were able to share wet wipes with our fellow travelers in the bathrooms! 😅
Thank you @rinney327 for the shoe inspiration! You already know that glancing down and seeing your sweet gift on those steep stairs really did push me to go faster!
@valeriestup you already know I wish you lived closer but your idea of re-doing our Marco Polos made getting ready for this feel like you were along the journey with me!
Thank you @sunnid88 for my good luck Buddha, travel crystal and Road Runner gift card you got me waaay back last August! The custom insoles you insisted on made a *huge* difference!
Thank you @smcalhoun19 for making sure mami and I had the correct converters and travel towels to stay charged, connected and dry on the trip!
Thank you my @davidhicksla for making sure mami and I had our much needed sweet fix with our individual Sees chocolate boxes. And of course, for supporting and scheduling things around my training all these months. And for choosing “the Super Bowl” so more than just one of my dreams can come true. 😉🫶🏽😘
And thank you to all my friends (you!) who encouraged me from afar as I trained and mentally prepared for the race! All of you who were cheering mami and I on when we were already there in China! You realllly don’t even know how much your messages and comments meant to us. We took them ALL to heart.
And lastly, “I want to thank me”…😂😂 it’s a joke but alsooo kinda facts. Proud of myself for a lot of different things/reasons… ☺️
If you’re still reading, YOU are it. 🙌🏽 I have like 2 more China posts in me. 🤣 I’m still so hyped about it. Riding the 🌊🏃🏽♀️🥹 | Posted on 06/Jun/2024 23:08:15
