What would you say if you could have one last conversation with them?

You never know which moment will be the last.

We don’t get to choose our last goodbye.

Send that email to the big brand you think will never see it.

Ask for more than you think you deserve.

Give them more than what they expect.

Keep chasing the feeling.

The cheapest way to get better at pickleball.

Why are we choosing gameplay footage? Because that’s where the most realistic interactions are taking place, as well as repeated exchanges.

When you take note of the recurring exchanges or patterns, you can take those same scenarios and practice them by creating small-sided games.

There’s a lot that Pickleball could learn from running.

The Boston Marathon is an earned experience and with it comes some unique events.

Brands have the opportunity to reach their dedicated industry consumers, many of which plan on returning for years to come or treat it as a one-off holy grail moment. While they’re there, they want to take in as many moments as they can to remember their achievement.

Each brand should find a way to help the racers capture what it means to be there.

Currently Running vs Vuori.

One brand is an industry native to running while the other sits in lifestyle performance apparel.

One you pay for scarcity and brand—the other for tenure and scale.

I’m drawn to the color and fit of the @currentlyrunningapparel jacket yet the price and brand of @vuoriclothing also feels right.

Contradicting my assumptions about travel.

Traveling with others, guided tours, places I’d go, people I’d go with, etc. All proven otherwise in this trip.

Never thought I’d go back to Italy after having been when I was younger with my dad and step mom’s side of the family. Budapest wasn’t on my travel wishlist.

Ended up on a trip with my good friend and his 2 sisters, one of which I’d never met, and the other I had only briefly hung out with before.

To be around people who have 0 ties to your life back home.
No gossip. Not talking about your interests: no upcoming races, training, PRs. Complete disconnection from your other life. You guys are just living in the moment.

All these assumptions where I was basically playing it safe.

And it was this trip that turned out to be one of my favorites. And now I’m telling myself I’ll never travel alone again.

The company you keep over the destination you’re headed to.

I’m so grateful that I even have the privilege to travel. This is one of those trips that makes you want to spend more of your life traveling.

“All love, must leave, but search for it I will.”

Post trip depression would be an understatement.

To be around people who have 0 ties to your life back home.
No gossip. Not talking about your interests: no upcoming races, training, PRs. Complete disconnection from your other life. You guys are just living in the moment.

The company you keep over the destination you’re headed to.

I’m so grateful that I even have the privilege to travel. This is one of those trips that makes you want to spend more of your life traveling.

“All love, must leave, but search for it I will.”

Post trip depression would be an understatement.
