Matthew Kelly ran a 2:52 marathon as his first ever attempt, after significant weight loss and mental recovery from a difficult period. He reflects on the determination it took and how the run proved he could keep promises to himself.
You know, you say you're gonna do something, your word should be iron will. You do everything in your power to make it happen. And that's what I did here, I think it's not about the run. It's symbolic of coming from a worse place many months ago and rebuilding myself mentally. And I guess the run is symbolic of that as well as, obviously just losing a lot of weight, getting in shape again, and hopefully I can inspire someone else to go out and make a change with their, you know, their physique, their mind, their whatever it is. And I've even surprised myself today, to be honest.
