happy global running day! two years ago I did a fun run with @jackcsullivan at @ARunnersMind on global running day and it sparked something in me and kickstarted my running journey, getting to run everyday (even if it’s just 1km) is a gift
HAPPY GLOBAL RUNNING DAY
Joined Cate for her Wednesday speed workout this morning
I met Cate at run club
Still insane to think about
You show up one day because you want to get a few miles in
Then running gives you:
Structure
Friends
Confidence
Community
A reason to wake up early
A whole different version of your life
The person you’re happiest sharing miles with
The PRs are cool
The workouts are cool
The races are cool
But this is the real stuff
Very grateful for this sport
I already loved Share Aura
But this new update is SICK
The app was already one of the coolest ways to share a run
Now Recaps take it to another level
Makes you want to go run just so you can post the recap after
Huge shoutout to @zachpogrob and the whole team
They are cooking hard over there
Not even close

It’s impossible to run the same route twice…
What was once overcast is now clear and bright, lit up by a full moon.
A beachside burger joint typically quiet at this hour, now bustling with workers stocking its pantry for the week’s opening day.
Seas that raged yesterday now calm as glass.
A tradesman with hard hat in hand shooting past on an electric scooter to catch the morning train into the city.
My heart rate steady and lower than ever before at this pace, the feeling that my training is finally paying off.
Running used to be a chore, now it’s become satisfaction.
