I said I’d never be a runner. 3 things changed.
When I hit my 30s, I told myself I would never be a runner.
“it’s bad on the knees…”
“it’s not fun…”
“it’s boring…”
And now… I’ve started to run again. No knee injuries.
I like it.
I’m not sure I’ll ever be a marathoner.
But I enjoy a jog 2-3x/week.
Here are the 3 things that changed.
I got shoes & socks that feel amazing
My shoes: Altra trail runner experience Wild 2
My socks: Cirorld men’s running socks
I look forward to putting these on every time I go for a run.

I avoid concrete
I avoid sidewalks and concrete, and instead run on grass or trails.
This saved my knees.
I got started with friends
A 13-mile Spartan Race with 5 friends got me into running.
I’ve signed up for more group events since.
Knowing I’ll be running with others gives me a major motivational boost.
Fitness is more fun with other people anyway.
Hope this serves the inner runner you didn’t know you had.
