Ever wondered how a Sunday morning run could change your perspective on life? Join us on a journey where a simple invitation during the pandemic led to a transformative experience for both myself and my friend, Kevin Hernandez. Discover how running has become a sanctuary for mental clarity and physical resilience, and how it can bring unexpected joy and camaraderie even in the midst of life's chaos. Kevin and I explore the rituals that have emerged from our weekly runs, the lessons learned from participating in challenging race series, and the heartwarming moments that make every mile worthwhile.
Kevin shares his inspiring story of sneaking in runs during his kids' soccer practices, proving that even the busiest parents can carve out moments for personal growth. Our adventure in running has been as much about the mental hurdles as it is about the physical ones. We candidly recount our experiences with local race series, laughing at the unexpected challenges and triumphs along the way. With a focus on pacing and endurance, we discuss how running has not only improved our fitness but also enriched our social interactions and community involvement.
Running isn't just about speed; it's about the memories and relationships built along the way. Hear how this journey has influenced our family lives, serving as a model of dedication and perseverance for our children. We highlight the concept of "intentional congruence" where running becomes entwined with family life and travel, offering a unique blend of fulfillment and exploration. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just curious about lacing up those shoes, listen in to uncover how running has reshaped our lives and could do the same for you.
