GPS watch on arm

I fell in love with running in my 20’s. At that time, I was an exchange student in South Africa and wanted to lose weight.

It wasn’t long before I discovered running’s powerful positive effects on my mental health. My relationship with my body changed from self-criticism and fault finding to one of thankfulness and awe.
