2024.08.07 - We run, we are the athletes!

Running is not much of a spectator sport, actually. We line up at the start with the best in the world so if we are not in the lead, we don’t even get to see the winner! From first place to last place, we are all in the hunt for our personal best for the given day and we have an understanding of what it takes to have the courage to toe the line. That said, every four years we get the rare opportunity to be the armchair quarterback types during the summer Olympics! We get the chance to see the best in the world. I love to watch what perfect form and running strategy looks like and perhaps learn a bit and get motivated in the process. Like many of you who, I’m guessing figuring out how a TV works and finding how to watch the Olympics, is also a learning experience!

May your run today be gold!
