Hi Friends! You KNOW I had to add the most dramatic music possible for this video!! hehe. Thank you so much for your support on this half marathon journey 💘 ALSO, wow thank you for all the hype for my haircut in last week's video. I couldn't believe the amount of comments there were in support.... so it's safe to say that the short hair is here to stay. Love ya, have a great long weekend!
Loved this video! It’s so cool to watch you discovering more about yourself, whether that’s through running or another avenue. Congratulations on a job well done.
Yayyyy Chelsea!!!🥳🥳🥳 Rocked it!!!!🥳🥳🥳Amazing!!! 🥳🥳🥳 So inspirational- I have to tell you -my eyes completely welled up when you finished. Yes girl! Thanks for sharing such an emotional challenge. Gives me hope for sure - please get some rest!!!
you're welcome Chelsea.. and thanks for sharing your half marathon journey.. all the best enjoy the long weekend my friend.. U definitely deserved it 😇💯👊
I'm still watching the video, I just had to pause quickly and say that you look absolutely radiant, Chelsea! Even if you don't feel it on the inside with all of your stress about the race. You're glowing and real 💕
Chelsea, I say this with love but whyyyyy are you putting so much pressure on yourself ? We are not watching you - we are supporting you! And if there's ever any hater we will happily roast them for you 😉❤ Congrats on completing the half marathon, you did amazing! 🥳
It’s just how I am :) I am this way with everything, but I’m glad that is the case because it’s helped me experience some pretty cool things! Thanks tho for helping to roast the haters 🥰 lol
Chelsea, you are the epitome of strength and courage. Through all the ups and down and all the in betweens you not only killed it but you thrived. On top of that, filming it all for us to be encouraged and inspired by you. Thank you for continuing to put yourself out there! Cheering you on always!
I'm bringing over some tea and tissues - last time I watched a race day vlog from Chelsea, I cried like a baby 😅 Currently lying in bed and trying to overcome a brutal cold. Although I'm just an average runner, I live for this type of content. So happy & proud of you, Chelsea! ❤🔥
@@cecebarron haha yep, separated at birth & reunited here on ytb 😄 hope you feel better and get to go out for a run soon... I know I miss it like crazy
I had a LOT of poop and others IG issues with gels on half or full marathons when those sport gels became popular sources of energy to consume on race day or training. In fact, my stomach wasn’t happy with them. So… You know what? I have simply returned on more natural sources of sugar and salt: homemade dense cooked rice balls (sometime with a small caramel square inside!), coated with sugar and salt, that I wrap individually. And only water during the race. No Gatorade (it’s too much sugar). I had no more IG issues since. In fact, too much concentrated sugar (gels, Gatorade, for example) is the #1 reason for IG problems on the race. Congrats for your new PB!
Hi Chelsea, Ive had hypothyroid, Hashimotos for almost 39 years. intense exercise really disrupts my body. I only wished I had listened to my body more in my younger days, Id not be having all the issues in this life stage. however, I have more than one autoimmune disease. All my specialty doctors have told me that once you acquire one you will be guaranteed more. listen to your body. do what feels right. don't let your ego get in your way of health. Did that and paid for it. I suffer with disruptive sleep and extreme fatigue. I still live my life to the best of my capabilities. I have a 4 year old grandson who loves his grandma and wants to do all the things I did with his brothers. Hiking, running, camping etc. I told the nugget, grandma was much younger then🤣 he told me that I wasn't old....gotta love them littles. give yourself grace. you did great young lady💜
Great job! I just started watching these running vlogs as motivation. I am not a runner, but have a goal of focusing on walking for fitness/wellness. Diane in Denmark on her TH-cam channel usually does Friday videos in which she gives four self-care assignments one can choose from and one week she mentioned a new fitness activity. I only having been walking two times a week. So I could set a goal of walking a 5K. Great reflection, Morgan Harper Nichols has an affirmation that says "I am creating space for both gentleness and strength." So, thank you for the reminder to take care of ourselves!
Hi Chelsea!! 🙋🏻♀️I am SOOOO proud of you!! You smashed this!! I have never run like this in my life (I'm guessing running 🏃🏻♀️ for the bus doesn't count 🤫🤭🤣🤣), but to me you trained hard, showed up, dealt with everything thrown at you, and still came out 15 minutes earlier....that's incredible!! You are such an inspiration ✨️ thank you for taking us along with you. ❤
Congratulations!! It's so nice to have a goal time, but it's also so important to take note if the time goal causes you more stress than motivation! And also! If anyone reading has never been a race day volunteer - do it! It's such a heartwarming experience no matter where you help out!
This was so cinematic, Chelsea! Beautiful shot and masterfully edited. Incredible video, and a stunning homage to all your hard work prepping and running the half marathon. Congrats, girlfriend!
Why am I crying?! I'm only at the part of the video where you finished and I am so proud of you! I am not a runner at all, but I understand all the work that goes into running a race like that. How awesome that you have this series of videos to look back and remember what you did to prepare and how you kicked butt!
I'm so glad I gave some positive vibes because I was honestly not feeling too hot in that moment either lol. You said something along the lines of "We got this!" and that honestly propelled me to the end and my PR :') Congrats again!!
Hi Chelsea, as someone also in their early 30s navigating through life I want to say you are such an inspiration and it is so humbling to know you are representing us on the internet. So thank you!
So proud of you Chelsea! That’s a great PR!! Watching you race made me tear up especially at the end and I wasn’t even there lol. But the energy from the crowd and hearing people yell for you is awesome. 👏🏼 👏🏼
I’m so pleased and yes proud of your achievement. It’s such a pleasure watching you grow into a woman who knows herself. Your increased time in itself is such a positive reflection. On all you’ve learnt this past 12 months. Lovely to have Julia there with you and also the acknowledgement from your followers on here. Your star shines bright and brighter ⭐️⭐️⭐️..💗
Ahhh your editing keeps getting better and better! That intro was beautiful. I personally love the dramatic music 🥲Congrats on another accomplishment! 🥳
Gooood jooooob Chelsea!! Your half was at the same time when mine was, except i am in Europe (Latvia). It was a really hot day and some people even passed out and i saw a couple of ambulances.. that was a bit chiling to see so i went slower than i originally thought i should be going. Didn't want to risk it as i didn't practice running in hot weather. It was a well organised event and there was a lot of water stations and stuff though. It was my first half marathon and my time was suuuuper slow, but doesn't matter i freaking did it!!! What an adventure! Now i have another half in September, and i know that i need to get more serious about my training routine. I know i wasn't always 100% into it and i didn't do my best, but i did it anyway.. Either way, definitely here for the running content, go Chelsea!! I loved being able to get motivated together!
I don't run, I don't want to run, but seeing you run that marathon and encourage yourself when it became hard still made me emotional. Love your videos and how relatable you are Chelsea!
I'm not the type that often comment videos, but congratulations for your performance !!!! It may not be the goal you were aiming for, but you made so much progress since your lasts half-marathons ! Also, at the beginning of the year you motivated me to register to my firt official race, your videos are so inspiring and motivating. I always love watching them, even 2 weeks late. You're amazing !
Girl! So close to 100k!!! And no matter what, you trained and committed to running this- so in my book, that’s amazing enough! No matter what the outcome, you did awesome! And any minutes shaved off the other race is fantastic!
Chelsea! I have been watching for the past few weeks ever since you showed up on Tisha's video! I have thoroughly enjoyed your running vlog! I also ran the Brooklyn Half myself and was keeping an eye for you but at last! And please don't be hard on yourself - you got a great time and not to mention PR-ing! All your hardwork really paid off!
Chelsea!! PRing by 15 mins in amazing, and we can all tell how much of your heart and soul you put into this race💪 I felt like i was right there with you literally willing you on while i watched, and i definitely teared up with pride at the end, not even at your result but just your determination and outlook on it all💖 super super proud of you and cant wait to see what the future holds
I love how honest you are about where you're at and how you're doing, even when it's not "pretty." I am not allowed to run, but when you were approaching the finish line and crossing it I got so emotional. I don't know the feeling of overcoming that type of physical exertion, but I know the feeling of working hard and pushing through to get to a goal and I'm so proud of you for fighting past your demons to achieve a really impressive results. I can't wait to see what you set your sights on next
I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and have binge-watched your videos from when you moved to your current apartment to this one. Your videos are so engaging, and when you finished the half-marathon, I got a tear in my eye. Good for you for pushing through even though you weren't feeling your best. I look forward to seeing what you do next. 😊

Awww. I legit teared up hearing ppl cheer for you... YOU ROCK CHELSEA! CONGRATULATIONS!
I’ve been on my running journey and it’s been phenomenal but seeing your content really is both encouraging and lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on an amazing run
I'm not a runner and have never been but I thoroughly love the way you explain things! You are so engaging and I love hearing you talk about things you are passionate about
Congratulations Chelsea. I teared up a bit at the end of your race! Way to capture that feeling. I love how real you are in your videos and thanks for taking us all along with you on your race and navigating life in NYC in general. ❤
Congratulations- take some time to appreciate how your body never lets you down! My running days are over and I’m getting a new knee in a few months. I dream of running. Love watching you run!
Hi, Chelsea ☺️ YOU ARE AMAZING 💞🤩 Thank you for sharing with us all your emotions, feelings and real life being, that is what makes your vlog such special and interesting.
Hi Chelsea! So proud of you! You did great! You showed up and you finished! Love that you are able to give yourself grace and analyze what you can do better for the next one. What a champ you are! Rest and take care! As always, thank you for sharing!
How exciting! I loved watching you run. Your tenacity is great and your training surely served you well! Well done ❤. Your hair continues to look amazing ❤
1. The music in this video is perfect, so cinematic! Good choice! Especially loved that ethereal one when you finished! 2. When you were already standing among others ready to go, OMG I hate that nervousness, I always just wanna go, I don't wanna just stand there for minutes and minutes more bcs the suspense is killing me HAHA 3. When you said "I can do this, let's go", I freaking bawled already, why does running have to be so emotional HAHA and even more emotional watching others do it?! I swear I had no idea until my mid twenties! :DDDD And people cheering and saying your name, how cool! 4. Yes, rock that T-shirt! Could not follow you like I did during the marathon but was waiting like crazy for this video! I am soooooooooooooo soooooooooo proud of you, who tf cares about the time, you still ran better than you did before! Btw what you said about the failure happening in front of us and then it is our loss too, I would not consider it a loss either way, bcs I think all of your community feels like we are with you in the highs and the lows as well. But I am glad after crying in Central Park, you finished the race on such a high! And then with the stomach issues too! Looking forward to your anti-inflammatory journey, this is what I have been dealing with too, but I just can't stay away from running. But I am taking it very slow now.
I just want to say I am so proud of you. I watched it and once you started running I think when you hit the 9th mile, I started Ballin crying like a baby. You are amazing beautifully amazing you have severe you accomplish something that some can’t!! I watch you all the time but I watch on my TV so I cannot comment. I do like your videos, but I watch you constantly and believe me you truly truly gifted and inspiration God bless you. Congratulations you did it woo hoo 🙌🏾 🎊 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching your videos and appreciate your honesty when it comes to things like this🤣❤️ one of my sisters is the same age as you and also runs, so it's cool to get the insider scoop on training for a marathon ❤️
I have recently started running because I got inspired by you. At the beginning I wasn't so sure about it but I realized it did not only improve my physical but especially my mental health. and even though I am nowhere near being able to run a half marathon, it is a goal I have in mind for the future. Thank you for inspiring me to try something new. I am looking forward to your future running videos. Great job on your race ❤
I'm so proud of you!!! I'm really happy, I got excited watching the video as if it was me running the half marathon. I'm 25 and I started running this year and you really inspire me, thank you so much!!
I had a smile on face the entire time while watching your video. Congratulations on the run, you did it, despite all "difficulties* you made till the end and that's awesome. We learn and grow with every accomplishment, every goal, and from all that it takes to make things happen (or not) everything is a lesson to learn and watching you reflecting on the past weeks proves it and shows how much you have learned throughout the process. I've said it before and I say it again: you are amazing! Have a wonderful, long weekend! Greetings from Germany !🤍
I love how you've made running content palatable for non-runners like myself, and how you speak openly to us like a friend. Been watching you for 6 months and find your content so calming and peaceful. Your energy is welcoming and accepting. 🫶🏻
You really inspired me to get into shape. I recently started dieting (calorie deficit) and exercising. Thank you so much for your content and from one stranger to another I am so proud of you!!!
Hi Chesea, i dont comment often but I really love to watch your videos. I love to see the real side of things and the way you show your life its exactly what I need. Thank you so much for your amazing work!
CHELSEA, I am so proud. Your training and the race day was full of obstacles but you did it and you should be so freaking proud! I hope you enjoy more relaxed summer runs now
You inspire me! The fact that you kept going even when your body had different plans is a testament to how hard you worked for this! You are awesome! 👏
Your pr increase, in my eyes, is absolutely significant - Congratulations! I don't have hypothyroidism, but I do have an invisible chronic illness that greatly affects my stomach and energy levels on a daily basis, so I feel ya. The fact that you do the training, nutrition and these marathons, is wild and awesome. The last bit where you take us through your race, you are absolutely glowing and so beautiful! You have a strong drive - can't wait to see what's next!
Congrats Chelsea, great job on giving it your all and finishing strong! I was in the running zone a decade ago where I ran the Detroit-Windsor International half marathon (we run over the international bridge going over to Canada and through the stuffy overheated international tunnel coming back to the USA) 4 years in a row. And you guessed it, my best year my time was one minute over from being a sub-two-hour run, haha! Looking back with a decade's hindsight, every single year's run was as valuable as the PR one just for getting out there and like Nike says, "just do it." Happy trails to all runners because you get to learn something about yourself along the way while having a unique experience!
Congratulations, Chelsea ! Absolutely phenomenal ! Thatz amaaaazing time! You are so tenacious ! Wow ! Bummer about losing all those great meals ! Dang ! But it happens. You were wise to ditch them tho. Oh well. You are so beautiful !! Well done, hun ! Keep ON ! xo Liz
Congratulations Chelsea I'm so impressed with the time you did! I got a little teary-eyed watching this, I am just so happy for you. We watched you train for this for so long. On that Saturday I was sitting there in my timezone thinking about how you were running right in that moment and I was cheering you on from afar! You should be so proud
Congratulations Chelsea! You did it! I too second all the followers that cried during your race. I got chills and teared up when you were getting to the end. So so proud of you. Some day I will be in NY to cheer you in person. Go Chelsea!!
Congrats on running the race, thats quite a distance in km/h 😝, saw the story on your instagram of your picture on the billboards in times square. Congratulations Chelsea! 👍
🎉🎉Congratulations, Chelsea!! I'm so proud of you and happy for you-you're PR 👏 I heard people calling your name and I saw you smile. That moment made me cry😢 I now see how those cheers carry you through. I will cheer you on virtually from Cali at every race 🤗
Congratulations Chelsea on your race. You did a fantastic job! Never doubt yourself because you are a strong, amazing and resilient woman. Proud of you!
Awesome job! Grats on the finish time too! Even not running in your tip top shape you hit a massive PR! This was my first ever Half Marathon and I had to train up to even be able to run this distance. Crazy that a in 2025 we'll be doing double this distance after we get the 9+1! Just finishing is an awesome accomplishment. The spectators give off such great energy too and help everyone continue to push strong. Much love to all the NYC peeps out here!
The fact that you gave a trigger warning for the alarm makes me feel I truly belong in this comment section lol. Congrats on the race, you did amazing! Huge PR!!
Hey Chelsea, congratulations on completing the marathon the half marathon. I have to say watching your videos has actually inspired me to take more of an interest in my sister‘s runs. She’s been running 5K and half marathons and all kinds of stuff for years and I never kind of got it like I didn’t understand. It was just a race for me and I was like oh congratulations to her, but I never realized all the work you guys put in, so I have to thank you for helping me build a better bond with my sister because now I I understand more when she’s talking so congrats to you thank you and I’ll be cheering for you
I’m not a sports person, but watching this video makes me think that maybe I want to run a marathon too one day. You’re such an inspiration, Chelsea! Thank you for creating and letting us see bits and pieces of your life. So proud of you and so happy for you ❤
This video was great- you did awesome! I'm excited to watch you to continue to explore your health holistically and find ways to nurture your body how it needs to be nurtured! By the way, if you're looking for any content for your wellness journey, I love the Rich Roll Podcast... it's all about health, wellness and fitness.
Not me tearing up watching you run across that finish line knowing the ups and downs you had preparing for this race. You are and will always be a rockstar!!!
Hey Chelsea - not sure if you’re still struggling with your couch arm chairs but I just got the exact couch you have (actually how I found your channel somehow) and put it together myself. I have a tip that worked for me- If you put on the arms first, use a little hammer or mallet to gently tap the arms into place, then if you take the back piece and just line up the edge on the outside (the one on the opposite side from the corner, if you can get that little guy lined up, it makes it much easier to slight adjustment the corner side and then you can slide it in. Not sure if that’s helpful or not but I was able to do it on my own that way!!
Hats off to you Chelsea! What a huge accomplishment. I'm watching your vlog from Perth, Australia and it's inspiring me to get out and be active. Congrats on your PR!
When I watch the live So many ppl passed out during the finish line an old guy didn't he kept going lol be proud u finished it one year I read 21 injuries and few ppl died so just that u finished the race is amazing! U did it and I loved cheering u on u inspired so many ppl the live was over when u where racing thanks for taking us with u

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Congrats on completing the half marathon, you did amazing! 🥳
It’s just how I am :) I am this way with everything, but I’m glad that is the case because it’s helped me experience some pretty cool things! Thanks tho for helping to roast the haters 🥰 lol

Congratulations Chelsea. I teared up a bit at the end of your race! Way to capture that feeling. I love how real you are in your videos and thanks for taking us all along with you on your race and navigating life in NYC in general. ❤
Congratulations- take some time to appreciate how your body never lets you down! My running days are over and I’m getting a new knee in a few months. I dream of running. Love watching you run!
Hi, Chelsea ☺️ YOU ARE AMAZING 💞🤩
Thank you for sharing with us all your emotions, feelings and real life being, that is what makes your vlog such special and interesting.
Great job and loved your race wrap-up, too! It is so awesome to hear the stories and what strikes a chord with you!
Hi Chelsea! So proud of you! You did great! You showed up and you finished! Love that you are able to give yourself grace and analyze what you can do better for the next one. What a champ you are! Rest and take care! As always, thank you for sharing!
That race time and pace is fantastic! Something to definitely be proud of! Just build off of this for the next race!!!
How exciting! I loved watching you run. Your tenacity is great and your training surely served you well! Well done ❤. Your hair continues to look amazing ❤
100K baby!! congratulations Chelsea!!
1. The music in this video is perfect, so cinematic! Good choice! Especially loved that ethereal one when you finished!
2. When you were already standing among others ready to go, OMG I hate that nervousness, I always just wanna go, I don't wanna just stand there for minutes and minutes more bcs the suspense is killing me HAHA
3. When you said "I can do this, let's go", I freaking bawled already, why does running have to be so emotional HAHA and even more emotional watching others do it?! I swear I had no idea until my mid twenties! :DDDD And people cheering and saying your name, how cool!
4. Yes, rock that T-shirt!
Could not follow you like I did during the marathon but was waiting like crazy for this video! I am soooooooooooooo soooooooooo proud of you, who tf cares about the time, you still ran better than you did before! Btw what you said about the failure happening in front of us and then it is our loss too, I would not consider it a loss either way, bcs I think all of your community feels like we are with you in the highs and the lows as well. But I am glad after crying in Central Park, you finished the race on such a high! And then with the stomach issues too!
Looking forward to your anti-inflammatory journey, this is what I have been dealing with too, but I just can't stay away from running. But I am taking it very slow now.
I just want to say I am so proud of you. I watched it and once you started running I think when you hit the 9th mile, I started Ballin crying like a baby. You are amazing beautifully amazing you have severe you accomplish something that some can’t!! I watch you all the time but I watch on my TV so I cannot comment. I do like your videos, but I watch you constantly and believe me you truly truly gifted and inspiration God bless you. Congratulations you did it woo hoo 🙌🏾 🎊 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad we're able to follow your progress and successes in such a real way, you're inspiring. Congrats Chelsea!
I love watching your videos and appreciate your honesty when it comes to things like this🤣❤️ one of my sisters is the same age as you and also runs, so it's cool to get the insider scoop on training for a marathon ❤️
I am so proud of you!!! You are easy to root for because of your kind spirit and open heart!
Thank you so much 🥹🥰
ugh SO PROUD OF YOU!! this is huge. and the new running camera angle goes crazy!!
I love it when a video makes me smile, all the way through. Congratulations Chelsea🙌🏾 Continued blessings and abundance in all things good and great🙏🏿
I have recently started running because I got inspired by you. At the beginning I wasn't so sure about it but I realized it did not only improve my physical but especially my mental health. and even though I am nowhere near being able to run a half marathon, it is a goal I have in mind for the future. Thank you for inspiring me to try something new. I am looking forward to your future running videos. Great job on your race ❤
❤❤❤
I'm so proud of you!!! I'm really happy, I got excited watching the video as if it was me running the half marathon. I'm 25 and I started running this year and you really inspire me, thank you so much!!
I had a smile on face the entire time while watching your video. Congratulations on the run, you did it, despite all "difficulties* you made till the end and that's awesome. We learn and grow with every accomplishment, every goal, and from all that it takes to make things happen (or not) everything is a lesson to learn and watching you reflecting on the past weeks proves it and shows how much you have learned throughout the process. I've said it before and I say it again: you are amazing! Have a wonderful, long weekend! Greetings from Germany !🤍
Wow. I think this is one of my favorite videos yet!!! I have goosebumps.
I love how you've made running content palatable for non-runners like myself, and how you speak openly to us like a friend.
Been watching you for 6 months and find your content so calming and peaceful. Your energy is welcoming and accepting. 🫶🏻
Thank you so much, Emily 🥹❤️
You really inspired me to get into shape. I recently started dieting (calorie deficit) and exercising. Thank you so much for your content and from one stranger to another I am so proud of you!!!
Hi Chesea, i dont comment often but I really love to watch your videos. I love to see the real side of things and the way you show your life its exactly what I need. Thank you so much for your amazing work!
Thank you so much ❤
CHELSEA, I am so proud. Your training and the race day was full of obstacles but you did it and you should be so freaking proud! I hope you enjoy more relaxed summer runs now
Your running content makes me so emotional. I used to run but stopped due to an injury. Proud of you!!!
You inspire me! The fact that you kept going even when your body had different plans is a testament to how hard you worked for this! You are awesome! 👏
Your pr increase, in my eyes, is absolutely significant - Congratulations! I don't have hypothyroidism, but I do have an invisible chronic illness that greatly affects my stomach and energy levels on a daily basis, so I feel ya. The fact that you do the training, nutrition and these marathons, is wild and awesome. The last bit where you take us through your race, you are absolutely glowing and so beautiful! You have a strong drive - can't wait to see what's next!
Congrats Chelsea, great job on giving it your all and finishing strong! I was in the running zone a decade ago where I ran the Detroit-Windsor International half marathon (we run over the international bridge going over to Canada and through the stuffy overheated international tunnel coming back to the USA) 4 years in a row. And you guessed it, my best year my time was one minute over from being a sub-two-hour run, haha! Looking back with a decade's hindsight, every single year's run was as valuable as the PR one just for getting out there and like Nike says, "just do it." Happy trails to all runners because you get to learn something about yourself along the way while having a unique experience!
Congratulations, Chelsea ! Absolutely phenomenal ! Thatz amaaaazing time! You are so tenacious !
Wow ! Bummer about losing all those great meals ! Dang ! But it happens. You were wise to ditch them tho. Oh well. You are so beautiful !! Well done, hun ! Keep ON ! xo Liz
Chelsea, me and my dogs watch every video of you - and we love you.
Congratulations Chelsea I'm so impressed with the time you did! I got a little teary-eyed watching this, I am just so happy for you. We watched you train for this for so long. On that Saturday I was sitting there in my timezone thinking about how you were running right in that moment and I was cheering you on from afar! You should be so proud
You are so freaking amazing Chelsea!!! 🎉
Congratulations Chelsea! You did it! I too second all the followers that cried during your race. I got chills and teared up when you were getting to the end. So so proud of you. Some day I will be in NY to cheer you in person. Go Chelsea!!
Congrats on running the race, thats quite a distance in km/h 😝, saw the story on your instagram of your picture on the billboards in times square. Congratulations Chelsea! 👍
🎉🎉Congratulations, Chelsea!! I'm so proud of you and happy for you-you're PR 👏
I heard people calling your name and I saw you smile. That moment made me cry😢 I now see how those cheers carry you through. I will cheer you on virtually from Cali at every race 🤗
Congratulations Chels! So proud of you all the way from Nairobi Kenya 🫂
YOU DID IT! So proud of you Chelsea! 🎉
Congratulations Chelsea on your race. You did a fantastic job! Never doubt yourself because you are a strong, amazing and resilient woman. Proud of you!
Honestly tearing up watching this! You should be so proud of yourself, thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤️
Awesome job! Grats on the finish time too! Even not running in your tip top shape you hit a massive PR!
This was my first ever Half Marathon and I had to train up to even be able to run this distance. Crazy that a in 2025 we'll be doing double this distance after we get the 9+1! Just finishing is an awesome accomplishment. The spectators give off such great energy too and help everyone continue to push strong. Much love to all the NYC peeps out here!
The fact that you gave a trigger warning for the alarm makes me feel I truly belong in this comment section lol.
Congrats on the race, you did amazing! Huge PR!!
Hey Chelsea, congratulations on completing the marathon the half marathon. I have to say watching your videos has actually inspired me to take more of an interest in my sister‘s runs. She’s been running 5K and half marathons and all kinds of stuff for years and I never kind of got it like I didn’t understand. It was just a race for me and I was like oh congratulations to her, but I never realized all the work you guys put in, so I have to thank you for helping me build a better bond with my sister because now I I understand more when she’s talking so congrats to you thank you and I’ll be cheering for you
This is really cool 😭💖 thank you for sharing this!

Your time doesn’t matter Chelsea-the fact that you did it is AMAZING!!!!! Congratulations!
Well done, fabulous result, you should be so proud x
Hey Chelsea - not sure if you’re still struggling with your couch arm chairs but I just got the exact couch you have (actually how I found your channel somehow) and put it together myself. I have a tip that worked for me- If you put on the arms first, use a little hammer or mallet to gently tap the arms into place, then if you take the back piece and just line up the edge on the outside (the one on the opposite side from the corner, if you can get that little guy lined up, it makes it much easier to slight adjustment the corner side and then you can slide it in. Not sure if that’s helpful or not but I was able to do it on my own that way!!
Hats off to you Chelsea! What a huge accomplishment. I'm watching your vlog from Perth, Australia and it's inspiring me to get out and be active. Congrats on your PR!
When I watch the live So many ppl passed out during the finish line an old guy didn't he kept going lol be proud u finished it one year I read 21 injuries and few ppl died so just that u finished the race is amazing! U did it and I loved cheering u on u inspired so many ppl the live was over when u where racing thanks for taking us with u
