Pia Wurtzbach says NYC marathon got her excited as much as Miss Universe
Pia Wurtzbach is running the NYC Marathon this weekend and on Instagram, she revealed just how much it meant to her.
Posting photos from when she picked up her bib, the Miss Universe 2015 said running a marathon has long been a secret dream.
"I kept it to myself for so long because I was embarrassed or maybe insecure about my athletic capabilities. Imagine saying 'I want to run a marathon' when you don't even run 10 minutes on a treadmill. Nahiya ako," she wrote.
Still, she wanted it — so much so that Pia "had the vision in my head. I just needed to make it into reality. And now here we are."
"I’m actually really doing it!!" She wrote in disbelief.
She expressed how happy she was to be sharing it with her fiance, Jeremy Jauncey, who, Pia revealed, was the first person she ever told her secret dream to.
"For years, I was looking for something that would get me excited as much as Miss Universe did," Pia continued. "I kept looking and trying new things but couldn’t find that feeling again…until now."
Pia began training for the marathon in February and by October, she was running something like 32km and ready.
The New York City Marathon will take place on Sunday.
Much luck to Pia!
