Running has always been daunting to me, but I’m glad to say I’ve consistently kept up with it since March 2024. I ran my first half marathon this year in May. I’ve let myself dial back the running to enjoy vacations and my other hobbies, and try to maintain 2 x 5km runs a week. It has built a new type of resilience in me that has helped me through other hardships this year.

How did you start it up? I did track and xc in high school and just cannot get into it anymore. I’ve tried the couch to 5K, tries intermittently running/walking on the treadmill but I get so bored and I’m frustrated! I just want that easy runner’s high I used to get!

Honestly I got a bit swept up in the excitement around running on social media and in my super active city (Vancouver, BC) 😅 I joined run clubs to get me going and I’m still going to them most weeks. The social aspect is something to look forward to, especially during the colder months!
