Gentle reminder: You never know what someone you're emailing with in a work capacity is dealing with outside of your work emails (even if you *think* you do, via social media).
Approach people with kindness. Don't take out your frustrations on someone who didn't cause them.

Just got off the phone w/ my 90-year-old grandma. It's her birthday today. I asked her: "How old do you feel?"
"Honestly, I'd say about 53. I went for my walk and run this morning. I'll let you know if anything feels different tomorrow."

I had an emotional weekend, triggered by two (more) of my closest friends moving from NYC. On my run today, I kept repeating in my head "focus on the things you can control."
I thought of the positives.
They don't make the tough moments feel less tough, though.

An "expert" just tried to tell me it takes 8 weeks to recover from a long run (> 60 minutes).
