I started this journey as a way to learn about my new city. The pandemic came in 2020 and all the team sports I had been playing were shut down. This really kickstarted my running journey. I used to get bored of running the same routes all the time and would lose motivation to get out the door. My discovery of citystrides.com completely changed my outlook and now running new streets has become an obsession.
I also believe that it’s important to give back to the places you live which is why I’ve tried to use my journey as a tool to help drive some donations to reduce food insecurity in my area.
