Didn’t Sign Up for THIS: 2025 Revel Big Bear Half Marathon

Описание: #halfmarathon #running #runningmotivation #runningvlog #bigbear #runner #bearista
I woke up at 2:30 AM… but not for the viral Starbucks Bearista cup.
I woke up to run the REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon — a race I actually didn’t sign up for.

I originally trained for the full marathon, with an 18-miler and 20-miler lined up, hoping this would be my big comeback after a rough year of running. But four weeks before race day, mudslides wiped out Highway 38 and the full marathon was cancelled. Again. So instead of the full, I suddenly found myself running the Big Bear Half Marathon on zero motivation and way too many treadmill runs.

In this vlog, I take you through:
🏃‍♀️ Running when you feel unmotivated
🏔️ REVEL Big Bear race morning at 3:15 AM
📉 My struggle with low training motivation
🔥 My last speed session + shakeout run
🎪 The tiny race expo
🚍 Shuttle chaos (yes, runners are more intense than Starbucks collectors)
🎽 The full race experience
⏱️ My finish time: 1:45:56 — my fastest half of the year
✨ The moment on the course where I finally found my fire again

If you’ve ever dealt with running burnout, lost motivation, or found yourself doing a race you didn’t plan for, this video is for you.
