Running, for me, started as a way to stay in shape. Now it’s survival. It’s how I keep from unraveling when the weight of everything — rent, news cycles, climate doom, the feeling that maybe none of this matters — starts pressing down too hard. I’m not just running for my health; I’m running from the gnawing fear that I’m wasting my life, that I’m stuck in a system I didn’t build but can’t seem to escape. With every mile I’m running, I’m getting closer to figuring out if I’m training for a race or just trying to outpace my own existential dread. Sure, maybe I’m just a hamster on a flaming wheel, but at least I’m the fastest little hamster in the apocalypse. ☺️
