[see below] This past weekend, I shot a just-for-fun video with a competitive marathon runner and good friend Mirwan Saleh (who also happens to love the clothing brand "Rabbit" https://www.runinrabbit.com/ who makes awesome running clothes). So the collaboration made perfect sense.
What’s funny about the brief video is that it really only shows one side of him. The competitive, ultra-focused, limit pushing runner. But when you meet him in person, you’ll find a chill, coffee-loving, fun, derpy, sensitive guy. He ain’t your average Joe though. Working a full job, running a nonprofit organization, on top of training 15-20 hours a week and he still makes time to visit his international friends. If that’s not the sign of a true friend, I’m not sure what is. Oh, did I forget to mention he also had battles with brain cancer? I was hesitant to mention it at first, because I didn’t want it to define him, but can we just take a moment to recognize the accomplishments of this person and what he had to overcome to be where he is today? *Nodding, slow claps*
Anyways, there’s your Wednesday inspiration to be better, motivate yourself to do better, and push limits.
