2020 Year-End Thoughts

Running, goals

Links:

• Mike Dang on Instagram

• Thanks to the running app Strava for helping facilitate my running journey, also to Chris at GQ for commissioning an early story about it. Also to Noah, Megan, and Melissa for being running mentors/inspirations. And to Terrell and his excellent running newsletter The Half Marathoner.

• Past goals (a comic from last January). I did not intend this newsletter to become so running-centric, but it has been a pleasant surprise.
