I needed to see this so much. I completely lost connection with my mind and I totally forgot how I used to run every day. Thank you x

[shakirah.r]

Why am I crying? Love to see the motivation and passion towards doing what you love. You made me feel like I have a sister that always support.
Keep inspiring!

as i m struggling to overcome life challenges, running is my way of telling the body:i love you enough to care for you.
It is so true, running helps me to be mentally strong, Thanks Mari for sharing!💖🌹

Great video. Many people are not aware of the connection between mental health and physical fitness. This is great advice, Thank you.

Good training for when you hit the Canadian portion of the West Coast Trail next year. Bears, cougars, maybe a beaver or two..

Running makes me feel alive, be more thankful of life.

Hey hun hope you are well and having a great start to the week so far. Just thought we would pop over again and see what you have been up to lately. I really hate running but done several Marathons now. It really helps with my depression and anxiety. So totally agree with everything you say. And relate completely. Well done for being so honest and putting it out there. Stay safe and catch up again soon God bless you 🙏❤️👍

I used to do long distance running around Hagley Park but have stopped doing that over the years, now you've inspired me to get out there again. Great inspirational video Mari.

This could motivate the laziest in any of us. I legit had chills. Fantastic editing. Quick video but sure packed a punch. Just lovely Mari

[rowan]

you are so honest, this is really inspiring. Thank you for this little glimpse of honesty.

[harunahosobe]

such an inspiring video especially when all of us in the world tend to stay inside even mentally. Thanks for the challenge! You are boosting motivation! This is my day 1!

Absolutely love this! My dreams have also changed since I made the decision to move forward on my journey. Determination and resolution are so powerful to physical and mental health, and running requires both. My Christmas this year is going to take a backseat to my planning. But, if this is how all of your vlogmas videos are going to be, then I'm in for a great treat each day! Cheers!

Me has inspirado un montón. Y también me fui a las lágrimas. Gracias por compartir.

I LOVE running! But I find it really hard to commit to a routine, or finding opportunities to run. I think a 30 day running challenge might be right up my street.

This was absolutely amazing Mari, I'm extremely grateful to be part of this little slice of the internet with you, Nick and your community! I look forward to the Create más content you have to bring and shall join you in the pledge to create more - as a means of fuelling our inner fire of potential!

Love this, Mari! I ran in my youth, but can’t run now. I miss it. I walk, but it’s not the same. I just returned from New Zealand and I’m catching up on your vids. I did complete the Tongariro Crossing. It was so epic! Thanks for the inspiration!

[tootsla]

Excellent! Your discipline, mental and physical fitness and toughness will give you a big advantage on the PCT.

[rickybreaux]

You are so right. I just walked 9000 steps by the marina in town and feel so good! The mind and body are one. Thanks for the inspirational video!!

[shannonmarie]

I love this for you. I wish that I felt the same about running.

[brianlam]

Run for the dream, literally! You got the most interesting reason for running!
