Tayshia Adams divulged why she might be forced to skip the upcoming New York City marathon.
Posting via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, October 29, Tayshia, 36, shared her concerns that her health may prevent from taking part in the event because her “body’s kind of acting up.”
“I kind of don’t know what day it is. I can’t even speak because I am just all over the place. I don’t know what day it is and it’s crazy to me that the marathon is this weekend,” she said. “I wish I felt better prepared for this moment, I kind of feel all over the place, and you know, we’re just rolling with the punches.”
Tayshia noted that this year’s NYC Marathon, which takes place on Sunday, November 1, is set to be her fourth time running in the event — which has helped calm her nerves.
“It’s my fourth time so I didn’t really have the anxiety that I typically would have because I know what to expect so that’s really great but this year my body’s kind of acting up,” she explained. “I kind of touched on it a couple of weeks ago but I have an autoimmune disease and unfortunately stress kind of triggers a flare up and for me, a flare up looks like extreme fatigue as well as a lot of joint pain, unfortunately.”
She then quipped, “And I kind of need my joints this weekend, specifically my knees.”

The Bachelor Nation alum added that she was still hoping for the best as she really wanted to feel well enough to run the marathon on Sunday because it’s an event that is important to her.
“It’s something I’ve just learned to deal with. But it really sucks on such a weekend that I have anticipated for months now and that means so much to me, it’s one of my passions to run, I’ve run high school, college, all the things,” she continued.
Tayshia added that having no control over how her body was feeling was one of the toughest aspects to face in this situation.
From Bachelorette to Bravo. Tayshia Adams has fielded her fair share of public romances over the years. Before Bachelor Nation met Adams on season 23 of The Bachelor in 2019, she was married to her college sweetheart, Josh Bourelle. “I actually married my first boyfriend, and I was with him for about six years or […]
“It’s really difficult to just ride out because you really can’t do much for it and that is probably the most frustrating part for me,” she said.
Tayshia added, “I’m trying to be as positive as I possibly can.”
Last year, Tayshia ran the NYC Marathon, with a recorded time of 4:44:54.
Before running, she took to Instagram to express her excitement and share a video of her gear laid out on her bed as she pretended to sleep. “‘Twas the night before race day 💤,” she wrote in the caption.
