Global Running Day feels like the perfect day to talk about the brand that took a chance on me first. When @wolaco reached out a few years ago, I hadn’t run a marathon. I hadn’t done a triathlon since elementary school. I hadn’t raced a Hyrox. I hadn’t even built a resume of accomplishments that made sense on paper. I was just documenting my journey. I was the girl training for her first race, wondering if she could finish a 55K without having ever ran more then 4 miles when she signed up, sharing the highs, lows, and lessons along the way. Then a package showed up with my first pair of WOLACO shorts, and a relationship began that would end up changing so much more than what I wore on race day. I am forever grateful. They believed in my process before there were results. They believed in my consistency before there were podiums. They believed in me, the person, before the performance. Looking back, I don’t know if I’d be where I am today without companies willing to invest in people who are still becoming who they’re meant to be. They believed in me, but it was running that started it all. And now I’m completely obsessed. Happy Global Running Day. And thank you, WOLACO, for being the first. I am proud to call my self a WOLACO athlete 🙏 #GlobalRunningDay #WOLACO #RunYourWorld #RunningJourney
