Hey everyone 👋🏻 it’s great to e-meet y’all! I’m from Vancouver, Canada and moved to Philly last year to start my PhD in pol behaviour/comms. I love to read, write, paint, talk to people about civic engagement, swim, and of course run! I run because it forces me to remember all the amazing things my body does for me on a daily basis (including breathing something I at times take for granted). A bit more personal but in my teens I dealt with an unexpected lung condition and running was always a safe place to remember what a blessing It is to take things at my own pace after lung surgeries and just find potential community. Sooo I’ve run a few 5 or 10ks before though for the most part I just run to destress and reflect !! Can’t wait to meet you all soon hopefully later this week— also just starting out on Strava butttt anyone use Nike running club, hopefully find a way to merge all that decade data over 😅
