Daily "ROGS" (Running Blogs)
Starting your day with a sunrise run through New York City is a moment of quiet magic. As the city awakens, the golden hues of dawn remind you of the beauty in simplicity and the power of showing up. It’s not just a run—it’s a celebration of gratitude, grounding, and the chance to embrace life’s meaningful moments.
Running wasn’t just about fitness for my dad; it was about setting goals, pushing limits, and embracing the process. While I didn’t see it then, those early runs planted seeds of discipline and resilience that have transformed my life. Now, through run clubs and a supportive community, I’m passing on that legacy—helping others discover their strength, one step at a time.
"Today, I ran 15 miles—not as a single act of triumph, but as the result of countless smaller steps and daily choices to show up. Progress isn’t about perfection or instant results; it’s built in the quiet moments of consistency and dedication. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a step worth celebrating."
"Sacrifice isn’t about what you’re giving up—it’s about what you’re building. Each small choice to push through discomfort is an investment in your growth, your resilience, and your journey. The power of sacrifice lies not in the momentary struggle, but in the lasting strength it creates."
"Shifting from 'I have to' to 'I get to' transforms any challenge into an opportunity. Running in the cold isn’t a burden—it’s a privilege to move, to grow, and to embrace the chance to push through. Gratitude turns every step into progress, reminding us how fortunate we are to even try."
