To the runners out there,

No matter who we are or where we are, we have this in common: We're all runners.
⁠
It’s something we can relate to, form bonds over, and celebrate together. ⁠
⁠
And that’s a pretty beautiful thing. ⁠🫶🏻⁠
⁠
Happy Global Running Day!

Nine years ago today, I married a runner.

We met at a run club and ran a race on our honeymoon. Over the years, we've hosted a run club, trained and raced together, and cheered each other on from the sidelines.

Best decision ever.

Do you prefer morning, lunchtime, or evening runs?

During winter, I transition to lunchtime running, but it's not my favorite. Finally this week, it's light enough in the morning and the weather is getting warmer. Morning runs are back, and I'm loving it! 😎 #runners #running #runninglifestyle
