 like no one wants to run 26 miles like I'm sorry I don't even want to drive 26 miles at home run it okay so my name is Nicole Jenkins I'm a junior at Boston University 20 years old and I'm an advertising major and I'm concentrating in economics so I'm running the marathon because uh my senior year of high school I like I was running marathon was on my next bucket list so from our new year's resolution I told my dad we should just do it because he wasn't getting any younger so I just signed us up so that's how we started running marathons and once we did our first marathon this like sick addiction happened and so we've been running marathons ever since like everyone thinks I'm like nuts for doing it um it's something that I always tell people when they say that they want to run a marathon I tell them that they can it's just they have to mentally like want to do it I definitely recommend doing it if you want like a inspiring rewarding experience it's kind of like an experience you can't explain to someone you just have to go through it to understand why it's so like empowering and inspiring I never thought I was gonna do a marathon or say like I didn't run a marathon it was always like a thing I would have liked to say but now that I've actually done it like I want other people to know that like it's possible for them to do it and that's not completely impossible like it's just more of a mental strength than physical like you can do it it's just you need someone else to like push you you definitely and run a marathon
