Running Inspirational News and Stories – April 12, 2022
Hello Runners,
Pollen is upon us as trees and flowers come back to life after the winter months. Well, that, of course, depends on where you live. Trees and flowers bloom all year long in some parts of the United States. Not in Denver. We get the sunshine here, but the trees are bare, and the landscape is brown, though the vista views of the snowcap mountains are breathtaking.
With Pollen, for some of us, comes allergies. Sneezing, runny nose, stuffed up head, sneezing, and runny nose. It can be not very pleasant, but as runners, we work through it. So be sure to take some Kleenex with you on your run because, undoubtedly, you will need to blow your nose.
Here is an article from Canadian Running titled “Should you run with Seasonal Allergies?”. Good luck; my allergies are mild but still sometimes irritating.
In this episode, I have three stories for you:
- Addiction to my running watch. Focus on the Apple Watch
- Spencer Dukoff, the deputy editor at Men’s Health magazine, ran the 50th NYC Marathon as his first. Spencer’s journey is remarkable.
- Brandess Wallace, who was a runner, then wasn’t, the was again. Hear her story and her love of running.
These stories will motivate and inspire you! Enjoy then!
