Nakamit na ng aktres at Miss Universe 2015 na si Pia Wurtzbach ang isa sa matagal na niyang pinapangarap – ang makasali sa isang marathon at makatapos sa 42-km New York City marathon na unang beses sinalihan ng dalaga.

Sa kanyang social media account, ibinahagi ng dalaga ang ilang mga larawan kung saan makikita ang mga kaganapan sa pagsali niya race kahapon, November 7 at makikita si Pia na mangiyak-ngiyak habang hawak ang nakuhang medal mula sa nasabing competition.

"I did it! We did it!" saad ni Pia sa kanyang caption. "The NYC Marathon wasn't a race, it was an experience. A life lesson. Probably the best run of my life. I saw and felt so much. I AM SO HAPPY…and grateful, inspired, humbled, and emotional…lahat na! This medal represents how important it is that we keep the promises we make to ourselves. To me, it was running because I wanted a new challenge, a new discipline — to be healthier & to step out of my comfort zone, to see how far I can go."

"I knew it would take time and dedication to achieve it but I wanted to stick to that promise no matter where life or work pulled me. Over the years, I got used to being at the service of others and most of my decisions revolved around work or pleasing others. This time, I stuck by running a marathon for me. This was my way of taking care of myself. And now, it has enriched my life so much because it has put me in a better place, so I feel recharged & energized to be of service to others," dagdag niya.

Pinasalamatan din niya ang kanyang pamilya, mga kaibigan, ang kanyang coach at fiancé na si Jeremy Jauncey at kapatid na si Sarah sa pagsuporta sa kanyang pagtakbo.
