I'm Reina, and I'm thrilled to be here, sharing my journey with fellow running enthusiasts. My running story began as a teenager, when I used to run every Saturday to escape the boredom of everyday life. Little did I know, this simple activity would spark a lifelong passion for running and fitness.

As I continued to run, I discovered a love for competing in various track and field events. I dabbled in sprinting, long jump, hammer throw, and even pole vault. Each of these sports taught me valuable lessons about discipline, perseverance, and the sheer joy of pushing my limits.

Now, I'm gearing up for my first marathon, which will take place in Georgia Savannah on November 16th. It's the Every Woman Rave Marathon and I couldn't be more excited. This event is especially meaningful to me as it represents not just a personal milestone, but also a celebration of mental health and staying fit. Running has always been my sanctuary, a way to clear my mind and connect with my body.

I look forward to meeting and running with all of you, sharing tips, stories, and encouragement. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, I believe we can all inspire and support each other in this incredible community.
