Right before my race, my mom called. She reminded me about my heart condition and told me to stop the second I felt anything — because to her, I’m still her little girl who went through a life-or-death surgery. And honestly? I’d be exactly the same with my daughters.

I never thought I’d run an 8K. I definitely never thought I’d do a Hyrox. But this is the best I’ve ever felt. And I want my girls to see that.

Not everything important gets taught in school. I want them to know what a working mom who’s fit actually looks like. I want them to know this is possible — that if you aim big enough and jump, you might just land!

Shoutout to @eeks25 , my @hyroxindia partner, who was crazy enough to believe I could do this. She walked patiently beside me in the run zone (I am NOT a runner), trained with me at 6:30am for 6 months and honestly led the whole thing — I was just the back-up dancer.

YOU CAN DO IT TOO! JUST START! I’ve never been the fittest person in the room. I eat cake daily like I’m sugar-deprived. I work out because of discipline, not because I enjoy it. But having a goal… that changed things for me… and I highly recommend it!

Shout out to @sandhu_tarsame @6262fitness for getting us into shape!
Shoutout to @redrajiv for training with us through the process as the best cheerleader!
And this wouldn’t be complete without the biggest shoutout to my husband @jalan.akshay ♥️

Think Big.
