Have you ever gone into something with one goal …and a nice unplanned consequence happened along the way? This has happened with my streak running. I have been so very fortunate to have had my daily run teach me so many things “on the side”. I began to think of these aha moments as a special part of my run and started to call them my “life learnings from running”. It also became a fun way to share my daily run with Caroline as just saying -  “I ran today - it was snowing” got a “bit” repetitive lol.

Although the hints came from running, I found that these learnings have helped me a lot in my non-running life/challenges and yes my cancer journey too - so running really does teach me something “every damn day”. And one of those was “Just don’t quit”. In this solo episode I reflect on 4 of these aha “life learnings from running”.
