Actress and beauty queen Pia Wurtzbach opened up to her fans and followers as she shared her first ever marathon experience.
In her Instagram account, Pia posted a stunning photo of her. It appeared that the said photo was taken when she joined NYC marathon. Pia shared the reason why she started training and got serious about running. According to Pia, it has improved her life as she felt better, sleep better and she was able to manage stress better.
““Grabe sila.”“There’s no way I could do that.” “That’s crazy.”
It’s only 3 months before race day — and these were my thoughts before I started training and got serious about running cos I was never a runner before, and I couldnt even stand doing any sort of cardio then. But I’ve always looked at runners with a lot of respect.
But here I am getting ready for the NYC marathon@nycmarathon. 😍 It will be my first ever marathon & I’ve been training for it since late Feb. 🙏🏼
Something clicked over New Year (when I had Covid) and I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I felt like, “Okay Pia if you don’t do it now, you’ll never do it.”
So I took the chance! I joined the registration (not under a brand or org this time), made a donation and waited… and I got in! It didn’t take me 3 tries this time! 🤪 Yay! My ticket to my first ever marathon. “Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, Athlete from the Philippines!” na ba to?! Chos lang. 😂
But seriously, I’ve been having so much fun with it and it has improved my life.
I feel better. I sleep better. I manage stress better.
And it feels so good to actually feel and see progress. Today, my weekend runs go for 18km++ when a few months ago I couldnt even finish 3k without hating everything. What I’m trying to say is – it’s all possible. 💪🏼
Anyway, ang haba na nito. BTW, hello also from Italy! 👋🏼 It’s been a little challenging to train here with all the pizza and gelato around. But LABAN! 😆 I’ll be sharing more about my running journey as race day gets closer. Wish me luck 🍀💙” Pia wrote in the caption.
