Embracing Gratitude for the Joy of Running with My High-Quality Running Gear

A Gratitude Journal Entry

Dear Duniyawaalo (People of the World),

Today on this beautiful morning as I am outside enjoying fresh air, I am grateful that I am able to afford high-quality running gear that helps me enhance my running experience, especially during colder days when the weather can be unforgiving.

I realized very quickly at the start of my running journey, especially when I got shin splints, that I need to invest in high-quality shoes that provide superior cushioning, support and shock absorption, while being light-weight and flexible. After having tried various brands of shoes, I have settled on the Brooks brand and I have never looked back. I am grateful that with my regular running and participating in races, I have been injury free.

Owning high-quality running clothes, compression tights, and socks have been a game changer for me, especially during the winter season. I feel comfortable to wear them and it keeps me warm, dry and protected, while still allowing enough breathability. It also provides plenty of pocket spaces for easy access to my phones or any nutrition I need during my run. The compression t-shirt and leggings from 32 Degrees brand are my favorite.

I have come to enjoy running and having the right gear has made all the difference. It includes everything from my shoes to my jacket, hat, gloves, and leggings. Each and every piece works together in helping me to stay dry, warm and comfortable throughout my run. With proper running gear I have been able to immerse myself in the peace and happiness that running brings, especially when life gets stressful or overwhelming.

I will be the first to admit that high-quality running gear comes at a steep price, but is worth its weight in gold. It saves me money over the long run by avoiding cheaper alternatives that don’t provide as much comfort or protection. 

I have come to realize that my investment in running gear today will serve me well into the future while keeping me safe, fit and healthy throughout my running journey. It brings me happiness and connects me to the world around me, and one can’t put a price tag on that.
