πββοΈβ¨ First Blog Post from Josefina Athletic: My Running Journey β¨πββοΈ
Hello! Iβm Neusa, founder of Josefina Athletic. π
Iβm a true running enthusiast β whether itβs on the streets, in the park, competing in a race, or simply enjoying every step. My journey into the world of running began at the age of 21, on my doctorβs advice. I was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and had so much energy to burn that running became the perfect outlet.
At the time, I was working at a bank and pursuing my first degree in Business Administration β and believe me, I still had energy to spare! π
By the third week of running, I was already hooked. My body craved more miles, more sweat, more endorphins. I would get up at 5:30am to run 10K before heading to work, and after my evening classes, Iβd hit the park again at 9pm for another 5K. And the next day? There I was, fully recharged and ready to start all over again.
This routine became a part of my life for many years, accompanying a 19-year marriage and the upbringing of two wonderful children.
Iβve run races ranging from 5K, 10K, 15K, 18K, to even 21K. Oddly enough, Iβve never run a full marathon. Donβt ask me why β I honestly donβt know! π
But running became more than just the miles. I fell in love with the sweat dripping down my face, the wind tangling my hair, and even the smell of my favorite sunscreen (runners, you know what I mean).
Then came the wardrobe shift:
- Dress pants made way for leggings.
- Cotton and silk blouses were swapped for polyamide, polyester, and elastane shirts.
- My high heels and pumps were replaced by running shoes with specialized cushioning.
Ah, life really is full of surprises! π
Today, with a slower professional pace, Iβve decided to fully immerse myself in the specialized world of running. I want to connect with all of you:
- Beginners taking their first steps,
- Seasoned runners collecting medals,
- Marathoners pushing their limits,
- Park joggers, treadmill warriors, and street runners.
