Lacing Up: Your First Steps Towards Running
Personal Story of a 15-Year Habit of Running
While I was in school, I didn’t enjoy running much, probably because it often involved sprinting short distances. I found myself gravitating more towards sports like volleyball or football (soccer).
How did I start running, then?
It all began with a role model.
After graduating from university, I landed a job at a fancy digital agency known for its impressive client list and project portfolio. In this environment, where everyone felt on equal footing with the CEO and the leadership team, I was surrounded by creative, motivated, and unique individuals. As a newcomer fresh out of university, I was eager to be as remarkable as they were.
The turning point came when the company’s manager invited us to join a weekend morning running club. We were so excited that we decided to train the day before to prepare ourselves.
It was a huge mistake!
