"32km. I can’t believe I did it 🥹 Now, it’s time to taper for the @tokyomarathon 🏃🏻♀️ I’ve deferred my entry since 2019 & decided to commit on Jan 1 to finally do it - giving me just about 2 months to train. I’m even more inspired because, as my past 2 marathons, I will be running for a very meaningful cause. Will be posting about it this afternoon. 💙🦋 Thanks for taking on the impossible task @gabbrosario 💪🏽 2 weeks to go!!!! Bringing back the hashtag from #NYCmarathANNEventure #LONDONmarathanneventure here we go #TOKYOmarathANNEventure," Curtis shared.
