Morning, friends! ☀️ For our first Friday thread discussion of 2026, I thought I’d throw out a question I love to ask because it shows where we’re all scattered around the planet — over the years, I’ve heard from readers in just about every state, plus Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jerusalem, Tajikistan, India, Italy, France, Poland, Lithuania… the list goes on and on and on.
Some of you have already used these threads to meet up for races in person — which is awesome! — and I love it because it gives us the chance to get to know each other better, and perhaps meet up to run together in person, whether it’s for a race or to set up a weekend running group.
And since we’ve had lots of new people sign up since the new year began, I thought I’d ask: where are you from/where do you live out there in the world? Where do you love to run? 😀 — Terrell
Hey there! I’m checking in from Emerald Isle, NC- just South of the Outer Banks and North of Wilmington. It’s a very runner friendly community with a 13 mile pedestrian path that hosts a very flat Boston Qualifier in October. Beautiful beaches and lots of trails to explore!
Hi from (snowy) Norway!
