You say your journey is nothing special but there are very few runners who ever achieve a sub 3 marathon!! That is truly awesome. I’m 50 and have run 10 marathons. Finally qualified for Boston last year with a 3:45!! I fly out on Thursday and I am beyond excited!!!! 🦄🦄🦄
Amy, thank you so much for sharing your story! This video had me on an emotional rollercoaster of excitement hearing about your progression and what running means to you! It is truly amazing how running can change lives - and get us through the tough times. I'm currently training for my first marathon in May and have found your videos super helpful and inspirational. Keep being you - can't wait for the next video! :)
Aw, thank you so much for your kind words! I always get so emotional talking about how much running means to me haha that’s so exciting about your first marathon!! I will be cheering for you!! 😊
Hi Amy! I went down a Boston Marathon TH-cam rabbit hole this evening, and I stumbled upon your page. So far, I’ve really appreciated all of your helpful insights and your authentic style is a breath of fresh air. After watching this video, I realized that my story is crazy similar to yours. I got hooked on running 4 years, recently joined a running club to help me improve, just learnt I need to get proper “race shoes”, and I’m running my first Boston this year (aiming for sub-3). I also live in Boston, and I’ve been doing my long runs with Tracksmith :)
Hi Dan! Thank you for your kind words 😊 and that’s so fun to hear! I hope you have an amazing time in Boston and yay for Tracksmith (I could spend all of my money there lol).
Thank you for sharing your story - it's amazing how many of us were helped to overcome the challenges of 2020 through running and have since become stronger, healthier and hopefully runners for life.
I loved hearing about your running journey! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I will be doing my first half marathon in May. And I must say I have already fallen in love with running. It's doing wonders for my mental and emotional health 😃
Hi Amy, love the video. I have just started running after my dad's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. it's such a difficult time but running has been so helpful for me. thanks so much for sharing your story
Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about your dad ❤️ I truly understand - running really saved me and I’m glad you have also found it helpful! Thinking about you and your family.
Your persistent Determination is not only a very admirable strength & attribute... but very very inspirational.... Very courageous of you as well to share.... Thank-YOu.... Don't ever quit.... Never Give-Up... Keep Pressing On...
Thank you for sharing your running story. I enjoyed listening to it. I wear bifocals but do not wear either glasses or contacts when I run. I just follow the crowd or hope that I do not need to read small print. My first marathon was the 2021 Buffalo Marathon. Unfortunately, it was about 24 C at race time and about 26.7 C when I finished. Though I finished (3:48), I became dehydrated and needed to go to the medical tent at the end. I ran the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon in 2019 and really enjoyed the experience.
Thanks, Tom! Oh dear, I’m sorry your first marathon was so warm. That’s really tough and I’m glad you were okay! Oh, that’s so fun we both did that race in 2019! It’s a great race for sure.
This was such an enjoyable video. Your raw emotion really shines thru the moments you describe through your journey and I can relate to soooo much of this. Thanks!
@@amyspurrcaveney just finished Boston for the first time this past month so very thrilled about that experience! Didn’t get a PR but happy with my 3:06 time. I’ll never forget it! Testing the ultra distance waters now :)
I love this so much! I feel like we have pretty similar running trajectories. I wish we were still in the same city so we could train together! Runner musicians are rare :)
