I’ve been without bicycle for 2 months now due to getting hit by a car, recovery, and building up new whips. I have a simple cruiser that serves me very well for beer runs and running a muck around town to capture skaters/bmx riders, but nothing that I can nail solid mileage or hill climbing pain that I love.
My drive has been extinguished a bit to ride x create. This has created a boredom, boredom lead to thinking creatively to get out of boredom, and the thought hit me… run sucker! Please keep in mind that I’m not a runner and don’t strive to be, but it does put me into the pain cave that I crave, helps me keep my legs/heart in check, and lends the opportunity to capture life in a slower manner.
The last few months I’ve been waking up early, iPhone/film camera in hand, and nailing anywhere from 3 – 8 mile runs. The mornings are the best! Everyone is asleep, birds making bird sounds, and the sun peaking over the trees. It’s quite beautiful.
With all that being said, the images above are two of my favorite from slowing down, taking a deep breath, and keeping my eyes wide open as I run.
The only thing limiting you is yourself. Know that. Ride, create, and make things happen. Some times it’s harder than others, but that’s no excuse to do nothing. Cheers!
RIDE x CREATE
