Testing new shoes
Over the years, I have learned how to pick a running shoe that I will not get disappointed with. There are three main factors I look for when I am buying new pairs of 👟
Are you Quitter?
Every year, on the second Friday in January, this year it falls to today Jan-13 2023, Strava celebrates "Quitters day". Here is description from NationalToday.com site:
Why do I keep running?
Today is 1111th consecutive day of my running. For some it might just look like pretty numbers in form of 1111 numbers. No emotions, no feeling or comprehension behind those numbers. For others who wants to be disciplined, build a habit or run injury free - meaning of those numbers changes like day and night.
Exosphere
When you Google the word "Exosphere" you will find the following definition "The exosphere is the uppermost region of Earth's atmosphere as it gradually fades into the vacuum of space. The air in the exosphere is extremely thin - in many ways it is almost the same as the airless void of outer space."
Trolleybus driver and Instagram stranger that made my day
How often do you see complete strangers giving you thumbs and smiling while you are on the run? Or a complete stranger, perhaps he is not stranger anymore, from Instagram PM you just to let you know they get so much motivation from the content you upload.
So glad I got these running raincoats
March 19, 2022, one of my closest friends - Munya, was on her trip to Istanbul. It has been some time I was pondering and looking far ahead for autumn and winter running clothes. I messaged Munya to see if she can visit local Decathlon store in Istanbul. Even if she didn't plan, she would find time to check if she can find what I was looking for. That's the type of friend she is.
Read to fill your mind. Write to empty your mind.
Came across this Instagram post and it stuck on my head for the past several days.
Book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle
As much as I love spending more time reading books, I find myself excusing and skipping of forming solid reading habit. Came across a post by Sunbula, fellow local runner, posting on her Strava a page from the book. Added to my growing list of books I want to read.
