#MotivationMonday: Philly’s Most Inspiring Instagrams This Week

We can’t ignore the fact that one of Philly’s biggest races of the year happened over the weekend. So this week’s #MotivationMonday comes courtesy of all the runners who crushed their goals—and then some—yesterday at the Philadelphia Marathon. Thanks for being so dang inspiring, y’all.

Here is 26.2 miles summed up in a single photo. Thank you @citysportsphiladelphia for motivating me through 3 months of early Sunday morning runs, @skauper for being the best running buddy (we killed our goal time) and to all of my friends and family for believing in me on this journey! Your motivational texts, alongside the incredible cheering zones and spectators, made today an enjoyable 4 hours 25 minutes of running! #TeamSara(h) #MarathonAccomplished
