Personal Lesson

This weekend at ENDURE24, I was reminded of something simple but easy to forget: running is supposed to be fun.

Final Thoughts

I’m straight back up to the Peaks this week for more filming for a project I really care about.

And all of it – the filming, the racing, the long days – is only worth it if there’s joy stitched into the effort.

This weekend reminded me to loosen the grip, laugh more, and run for the hell of it.

That’s what I want to build everything else on. Because if it isn’t fun, what’s the point?

Thanks again for reading and subscribing.

Run the runnable, and keep showing up for yourself!
