Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 1994 Charlene Gonzalez recenly ran and finished the Boston Marathon. Hopefully , we will see her at the NY Marathon in the future.

Here is her IG message after finishing the marathon…

💙🦄💛 Giving of the wrap/blanket after the race.. Every marathon has a story to tell.. It was a very emotionally ending for me. I was crying non-stop 😭 First time I had no base training & went straight to marathon training of 3-4 months.. & on my last month unfortunately I was dealing with an injury which lead me to skip some training sessions. I thank my Coach @grit_endurance Ben Tanner for your guidance to make me race ready despite all the obstacles 🙏🏻

I ran with an injury today & in the beginning of the race today.. my nutrition/hydration fell and got lost on the course (which is so important in a marathon) 😬 I was praying the whole time, for the utmost safety 🙏🏻 & I thank God.. for pulling me through 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 All glory to God almighty 🙏🏻
My tears are tears of thankfulness
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very happy to have been able to finish the Boston Marathon 2023 💙🦄💛

More stories to share in the days to come.. but for now.. will rest and recover first 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
