running my first 5k | motivational monday ep.43

Hi friends :D
In today's video we do our final training for the 5k race. This challenge I set for myself has been one of my favorites to do and I have gained so much from it ... even a new found love for running. Yep, you heard that right lol! I hope you enjoyed this video & that it inspires you to challenge yourself in new ways.
P.s. Shout out to THE GOAT, Kobe Bryant for that inspirational speech! ❤️✨

[@iioniilawing3702]

Sooooo proud of you !! I’m on a similar journey . I loved this! Thank you

[@theearthbounder4869]

Congratulations!!! I’m so proud of you!! I’ve been loving seeing your journey! Thank you for taking us along with you on the run! Your videos are such a joy to watch. Keep up the hard work!! You inspire me to be consistent. ❤

[@CrystalValenzuela]

🥹🫶🏽💖 thank you so so much for following along & for the advice! Happy to share the motivation 🥰

[@cocteautwin]

Crystal!!!! My gosh!!! I’m so so so proud of u!! Watching you come full circle from an idea to a plan, to training and executing??? Such an emotional and gracious experience! And the way you edited the 5k portion was super emotional too i shed a tear of joy whilst i was detangling my hair watching this 😭 You inspire me so much to do the things I want to do and that we are both fully capable :) Running has always been a sensitive thing since school days (I dreaded gym class and having to run the mile, my best being 13 mins whilst kids could do it in 7) but now I’m intrigued to build resistance and try running one myself! Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable on your channel ❤ forgetting headphones mustve sucked omg music helps so much with doing any task for me lol but despite your trials and tribulations YOU DID IT !! U ARE A BAD BITCH !!! okay that is all hehe

[@CrystalValenzuela]

Mae!!!! 🥺🫶🏽💖💖 now you have me shedding a tear!! Thank you so so much for being on this journey with me!! I always look forward to seeing you in my comments, always being so kind 🥰 I’m happy that I could share the motivation! We are both definitely capable of doing anything & everything that we set our mind to! Omg I totally feel you on that one!! My friend Ruby & I were actually talking about the same thing with feeling behind in school because everyone else seemed so much more athletic & we were out here struggling 😮‍💨 but bestie, it’s do-able! No one’s timing us now, this one’s for us! One small step at a time 🥰🥰

[@carlarivas8859]

So awesome! I watch Natacha Oceane and Tarahumara runners for inspiration. :) The Tarahumara runners run in chanclas for mileeees.

[@brendajackson4795]

Yay!!! So inspiring to watch your running journey 🎉

If the krusty Krab can deliver in these conditions 😂 I’m running my first 5k in February and this really motivated me Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@jdawg414]

You have to do a mud run too. It’s not straight running, there are obstacles. You’ll feel like such a badass!

[@CrystalValenzuela]

I kid you not I was looking at one the other day 😱 they look so fun! Have you ever done one?

[@jdawg414]

@@CrystalValenzuela Yep! I did warrior dash twice and muckfest. Both were so much fun. I’m not even in good shape but I was working out regularly.
