Every runner has their own unique relationship with running. Sometimes we hate it. Sometimes we are injured. Sometimes we feel like we are invincible. We get nervous. We talk endlessly about gear, nutrition, routes, events and the list goes on. We track our data as if our lives depended on it. We are a weird bunch.

But we have one thing in common - we need to run. Day after day. Because there is something primal about running that delivers optimism and hope. It’s deeply personal but has strong roots in community. It’s competitive but very supportive. You don’t need much equipment.. You can do it alone or in a group. You can do it almost anywhere, anytime. It brings people together.

This is my story.
