THE BORED RUNNER

This page was inspired by The Bored Baker (a young lady who uses baking to "cure her boredom" during COVID-19 times and whose recipes are truly amazing! You definitely should try some of them. You can also read/watch the video about her here.)


Seeing daily notifications from her in my mailbox... it was inspiring.


I chose running as my "daily therapy"..

I've figured in the worst case, I would become "really fit" :)

and in the best case, who knows what will happen.


So every day, I run

and log it here after the run is finished.

Simple :)
