Morning! Thank you so much for your comments yesterday. I got my wish to have a marathon where I felt pretty amazing for 91% of the race. These kinds of races don’t happen often but I’m glad I got it in Spain. Let’s get going with tangents:
*Turns out I ran in the Olympic Marathon Trials for Spain! I had no idea until afterward that this marathon was also their Olympic Trials for the pros!
*Ummm I want these Pumas!
*He ran a marathon with a pineapple on his head:
*Such a good idea for shade during a hot race:
*The founder and owner of City Sightseeing ran his first marathon on Sunday and did amazing. It was so fun to hear about his experience and that he already wants to do more! He is an incredible man.
*Flat marathons leave me way less banged up than all of the other marathons I have done! I feel like I could go for a run now but I’m going to force myself to take a real break.
*Another Utahn (well, he lived in Utah for a while and was also a BYU alumni ((like Connor and Clayton)) ran a 2:08:01. He came under the Paris Olympic Standard by 9 seconds and will be representing Canada. His first half was 1:04:01 and his second half was 1:04:00. Talk about perfect pacing!
*A race shirt I will be wearing all of the time:
*These are the salt tablets I used and loved! I just put them in a bag in my pocket.
*This felt good.
*I saw these Asics Superblasts at the expo and if I had more room in my suitcase, I would have grabbed them.
*Sevilla sure knows how to put on a good race.
*European gels that my friends tried and loved:
We are off for another adventure and leaving Seville, any guesses about what country we are going today?

I think the pineapple guy is from Brazil. He ran the NYC Marathon like that in 2022 when I ran it!! We have the 226 gels here in Costa Rica, but I’ve never tried them….maybe I will now!
Have fun on your adventure today!
Mariah
Are you going to Portugal?
Tangent- I think I am getting too used to the winter weather. This morning it was 26 degrees for my run and I told my boyfriend it wasn’t bad… who am I?!
Wendy
So fun!
I love that picture of Beck and Skye hugging you!
Ummm… Portugal?
Tangent… It’s pouring rain again, so another fun Peloton treadmill run for me.
Can’t wait to see where you are. When do you come home?
Have a great day Janae

Congratulations Janae! Looks like you all had an amazing time. Spain is so family focused and seems to really love children. My guess is France. Buen viaje.
Gerard
Congratulations again! Your pictures bring back so many memories for me running the streets of Seville and enjoying the Inglaterra rooftop.
Enrique is quite an amazing man. I’m so glad that you got to share his first marathon experience with him. I can’t believe how grown up his daughter has become.
I’m guessing you’re headed to Portugal?
Safe travels.

Such a wonderful race and vacation! Are you going back to Paris for a day before going home???
Sara Chavarry
It is so beautiful there! I hope I am wrong and you are heading to Italy…but my guess is France! We love both but it is definitely Italy that we would like to return to. Or Portugal! Have the best time ever and continue to soak up allllllllll the memories!!
Colleen Martin
YOu are just an incredible runner – but then to just keep travelling and walking all over is even more incredible! I hope you have so much fun making memories with your family. I’m going to guess Portugal is next!
Annemarie
I’ve seen that pineapple guy at some of the majors! He’s amazing!
I hope you are going to Portugal! We were there 2 years ago and LOVED it. So beautiful!
Have an amazing time and congrats on a fantastic race, Janae!
Whitney
I’m going to guess either Portugal, Barcelona or Mallorca. Have an amazing trip!
Allison
I am guessing Portugal because, years ago, we took the kids to Portugal and then we went to Seville.

Congrats!
I didn’t run but I had a horrible virus. Those Salt Stick tablets are amazing!
Marissa
France and Portugal are some of the nearest countries so maybe there.
I am just so grateful for this body that allows me to run!

WOW….so impressed with your marathon. I love running internationally! I just finished an 8K in New Zealand. I unfortunately caught a bad cold and cough so I Had to drop down. Such a bummer but I still got to run in New Zealand
Christina
Switzerland – to visit your friend there?
Laura Dani

Are you going to the UK? As in Gibralter??
Also, it’s super fun to see all of your pictures and to place where you are in all of those pictures!!

If you go to Portugal you MUST have pastal de Nata. They are dreamy delicious.
Or are you going to France or Morocco?
Enjoy!
mary
I hope it’s Portugal! My mom is from there and I try to get everyone I know to go there because it is SO beautiful. Wherever it is, safe travels!
Melissa R
First of all I LOVE that you’re the only lady out there hanging with all the men in the race pics! But I am curious, would you say there were less female runners/racers in general there vs a typical marathon in the states? Either way, congratulations again!!! Enjoy the rest of the trip wherever you end up!
Lianne
Portugal! 🇵🇹

Tiffany Gabriel

Good site! I really love how comfortable it is on my eyes. I’m wondering how I can be notified every time there’s a new post.
