I think we need to take a moment to appreciate Mary’s filming skills progression. Filming like an absolute pro…… and the running was pretty epic too 💪🏻💪🏻😉

[@teetertotter5787]

OMG Mary your opening narration had me sobbing already. I'm going to replay that before my marathon in Dec. Congratulations on your massive PB victory lap!

[@FordyRuns]

I love you Ben but we all know who the real legend is in this partnership ❤

[@AllergicToAshAndDust]

Mary just glides and makes it look so easy!

[@kimhargrove2013]

So very happy for you both. I cried watching this. It's so wonderful to watch the two of you! I'm so excited to run my first ever Marathon this upcoming january. I work full-time and it's been hard to keep my motivation up since I have no one to train with. But I'm going to do my best. Cheers from Florida!

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you so much!! Love sharing the journey and the support means so much. Good luck with your training - hopefully the Florida weather will help you through the winter and stay focussed on that goal. You’ve got this and it will be so worth it 💪🏼❤️

[@MsDragonfly0040]

I cried a little too! I'm not a marathon runner, I run halfs, but I might be now.

[@abbyschwendler1107]

I cried too! I work full time and have no one to train with either - it can be hard to stay motivated especially during the winter months in NY.

[@christinaclementson]

Just wonderful! You’re such a legend Mary. It takes such a strong person to dig deep and finish strong. Huge congratulations! See you in Boston 🎉🎉

[@MiguelUrbaez150481]

Both of you guys are such rockstars! Long travel and jetlag didn’t hold you back!!! And Mary, that incredible and solid smile through the whole thing is the most admirable and inspirational thing I look forward the most when I try to keep motivated in my own marathon training journey. God bless you guys! Hugs from Miami💙🙏🏻

[@nicknacks7824]

Mary, you inspire me! The last marathon I ran was when I was 30, I'm 38 now and your journey has inspired to get back out there. Hoping for a sub 4 in 2024. You are such a gem!! Nice job on th PB!

[@suzyaustin6066]

Well done Mary! You make every run look effortless! Wish I had that skill! 😂

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you! It definitely didn’t feel effortless 😂 but the crowds carried me a long way!

[@petergranahan311]

Mary, you are our inspiration for running. Your positive attitude is addictive. Congrats on a perfect Marathon. Peter in Ireland

[@peterrashev4144]

One KZbin channel, double the content!!! Thank you for your inspiration and the great views from NYCM. " A legacy of consistency " is a phrase I will keep in my motivational speeches 😅 Stay healthy and God bless you both!

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you so much! Credit to Ben for the phrase - he’s good 😅 Really appreciate the support

[@brionia9760]

Congrats on your big PB Mary, loads more to come on a flatter course without a 24 hour flight just before! 🥳🥳🥳

[@abbyschwendler1107]

Girl, you brought me to tears. So happy for your accomplishments. You're my hero and role model. Would have loved to have been there to cheer you on. I haven't traveled extensively, but I've been to NYC many times, and it's my favorite city.

[@mikestevenson1334]

You and Ben both did so good, especially when you had that crazy travel time too. I would have been so knackered before the race! Congrats, Mary! You smashed it :D

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

Very well done , it was a pleasure to meet you , and when you passed me in the tunnel / bridge at 16 ( I had just entered the pain cave ) I knew you were on to smash it 💪 , hope you guys had a good flight home

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you John!! That bridge was tough but it was so good to get some encouragement - thank you!! Hope you had a great experience too. What a day!

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

@@marybridges9606 yup , I rallied a little later and got in at 3:28 ( PR/PB 🔔) 👍

[@sarahruns262]

You and Ben are such rockstars! Congratulations on a huge PB. You said you were struggling but all I saw was a big smile and a strong finish. Thanks for being such a good role model and inspiration.

[@TTSGwlad]

Been following the channel for the last year and a bit. You both have been an inspiration for my running. I may not be consistent, I may not be fast, I may not be breaking records or PBs. But now I’m heading towards my 50th Parkrun by the new year, and believe that getting out and doing it is better than sitting on the sofa festering. Keep on with the videos, and congratulations on your amazing records and success.

[@IRunThings]

Amazing video. So proud of you Mary!!! You are a rock star, auch a strong race!

[@marybridges9606]

Ahhhh thank you!! Such a great day

[@Runningwithhayden]

Absolutely awesome Mary 👏👏👏👏 Appreciate the mention as we crossed paths at 2 miles! Watching your Vlog then mine it’s like a slight delay of 10 minutes as you smashed your way ahead of me to the finish 💪💪💪

[@jeancater1388]

Go Mary! Amazing!🎉

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you! Amazing race, amazing people 🎉

[@ericfultz9429]

i love how you were saying you were suffering (i'm paraphrasing) and then finished with a p.r. awesome! you looked strong at the finish. i expected you two to feel the lack of heat but no arm warmers no gloves no hat, you're tough Mary!

[@bookFreak8191]

Congratulations!!! This made me so emotional. I've run one half and want to run one more before I try for my first marathon, but it's definitely something I want to do within the next two years.

[@E57HER]

#TeamMary! x

[@tilda3141]

You're so fast! It's really cool and inspiring to see the result of all your hard work ❤ Also so much fun to watch all the other runners in your video, everyone has their own style, and it makes me reflect on how I can feel bad for not running or looking like a "perfect runner", it's bs. 😁

[@cannuckchick7522]

Running a PB while filming and narrating? RESPECT, Mary!!!

[@janehathway7014]

That crowd is next level! Well done Mary

[@rajivcheriyan9292]

Congrats Mary! It was great running with you for a few kilometers. Amazing opening in the video! My first on a KZbin video - 5:00-5:20 😂 All the best for DOI 50K !

[@richardbrown1573]

Superb video. What an incredible run, Mary! Keep up the great content & bring on Boston!

[@hurricane7800]

Not even a minute in and I’m motivation-crying.

[@stickyrice.]

Gritty 💪💪 Congrats Mary!!!

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you!! Huge compliment 💪🏼💪🏼

[@teddymckinney4425]

Mary is an absolute rockstar, with such a warn, gentle, and kind soul. Absolutely elated for you and your experience in New York! You and Ben are bright rays on inspiration and encouragement here on KZbin. Thank you for wonderful videos just like this! Way to go both of you!!!

[@teddymckinney4425]

Additionally, I'm ready to run through every wall ever made after listening to Mary's intro. That'll light your soul on fire.

[@sun.2801]

🎉🎉What a celebratory lap you had, Mary!!! Congratulations!

[@ellensilva3122]

Setting a PB at New York is bonkers! Congratulations! Amazing work!

[@mfowlie1]

Brilliantly done!! Well deserved

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you so much!

[@robertmelendez6677]

Big congrats Mary!!! It was a tough course indeed. What a beautiful day it was and greatest running day in my life!!

[@AlistairNY]

NY must be freezing after Thailand. And you got to run in daylight too :) Congrats on the PB!

[@headstart.running]

Absolutely brilliant Mary!!!! Well deserved PB - and with back-to-back long-haul travel too!! Sensational effort. Cant wait to see how you go in the rest of the 5 majors!!!!!

[@Kevin-hl6ym]

Wonderful! Congratulations. 👍

[@marybridges9606]

Thank you so much!!

[@saradovak6842]

These intro gave me goosebumps ! Congratulations ! I don’t even care if you say New York Marathon the next time.

[@andersonteo4879]

Congratulations! I'm encouraged by both you and Ben to keep on running and enjoy every bit of it, the highs and the lows.

[@kimcruz16]

Congratulations 🎉 WELCOME TO NYC MARATHON 🗽🫶🏼

[@sylvaindore3190]

Congratulations Mary! You are so great. I dream running a marathon with your time!

[@andrewhammonds4907]

“Hips feel a bit tight but who cases I’m running New York” 😂 pretty much epitomises the majors! Great attitude and great run! Well done and thanks to you and Ben for the channel. 🎉👏🙏

[@nikolaykumchev9530]

I saw you at Dorney Lake this summer. Great run here as well! Fantastic video intro, gives me goosebumps! Greetings to Ben!

[@jonathanwatkins447]

Wow what a time at any marathon but at NYC . Wowza. That's incredible. Way to go

[@KatMindenhall]

What a perfect example of training well and having the right attitude- how easy you made it look is directly proportional to your preparation, thank you for showing us this journey.

[@jordan23ww]

Congratulations Mary! You did an awesome job!🎉🎊🏅

[@adrianneclaudio9669]

You did amazing Mary! 🦋🫶🏽

[@nathalieasselin2251]

Good job Mary, so much ambiance around you the whole time. Wow!

[@kgrabowski1]

Absolutely amazing Mary!! Congratulations on your PR 🙌 The narration is so motivating and moving, it had me in tears and ready to run at the same time.

[@eileencheng603]

Many congratulations Mary!!! You are amazing! You inspire me so much in my very short running journey and when the going got tough during LLHM this year, I thought of the episode when you ran yours all those years back. It kept me going and pushing and I ended up hitting my target time.

[@kim-anh9860]

Loved Ben’s race recap, but I was really looking forward to Mary’s! Amazing job and massive congratulations!🎉🎉🎉

[@CoolInOlympia]

Wow! Congrats!!!!

[@mhilb]

That was awesome. Maybe your best video yet! Congratulations on a phenomenal PB and once again, keep up the awesome work on these videos. Keep the inspiration coming!

[@run_deng]

It looks slow when you watch videos of them running but if I try that pace I would be struggling in just 3miles. On top of that she's taking videos and talking. Amazing!

[@fcm95]

Did you just say 3.20 pace girl you are flying. Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦!! As always amazing video !!!!

[@ewazych4841]
