Welcome on my site :)
Hi all 🙂
My name is Gabi or can call me Gabriella, I don’t really have a preference.
I’ve started running in November 2015 when I signed up for my first ever Half marathon . I never run that distance before, but I knew that hard work and dedication I can definetly run that distance.
From November 2015 till April 2016 I was training really hard for the race which was in Reading, Berkshire, UK.
The half marathon was really hard, not physically it was more hard mentally. When I crossed the line at 2h 47mins I cried in happiness. I hoped that I am capable to running and when I did it I was relived.
Since than I run many more half marathons and countless 5-10ks.
Running a marathon has been bucket list material for me and something I have always wanted to do. I managed to secure a charity place for the 2017 London Marathon and I fundraised over £1350 for MACS.
The race was incredibly hard, unfortunately I injured my ankle ligament in February so I hardly done any training for the marathon.
But as soon as I crossed the finish line I felt awesome, i felt I could do anything I wanted, nothing could of stopped me.
A week later the marathon when I recovered from the soreness I was thinking about my next challenge. That’s when I came across something called ” World Marathon Majors”.
This consist of 6 marathons across the globe:
- Tokyo
- Boston
- London ✓
- Berlin
- Chicago
- New York ✓
So me being enthusiastic I’ve signed up for the upcoming New York marathon. I missed the ballot or charity applications but I’ve found a tour operating company ( 2:09 events ) who offers places to the WMM events.
So here I am training for all these marathons. I do believe with hard work I can achieve anything I want.
I set this page up so i can share more of my experiences and stories.
You stil can follow me on Facebook or Instagram but the longer details always will be here.
Thanks for reading,
