あらすじ・解説
“Am I ever thinking about I want to die? Yeah, maybe. But the point is, I'm not alone. I'm not alone.”Chris Chan got into running simply because he was looking to be active and needed something other than soccer. He didn’t know he’d be getting into something so important to his life, and so fulfilling. He also didn’t realize what a learning journey it would be. Finding supportive people who had similar interests was one thing, but learning about men’s mental health and how that was missing from his life was something else entirely. His involvement with the Mustache Miler certainly propelled that forward, and having a great community within 5 Peaks and his North Burnaby Runners also did as much. Chris also had a cancer diagnosis in his journey which made finishing his latest marathon in Victoria, all the more special.“I just said, I'm going to walk past the finish line. I don't care about the time. But what I care about is in the moment I feel I'm alive. I feel I'm back to normal when I cross the finish line.”This chat was so much fun. Shoutout to Jeannine Avelino for recommending Chris, I’m so glad she did and we got to chat. It was awesome and inspiring hearing about his mental health journey. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did, make sure to comment and let us know!The Miller MinutesEpisode 3 of The Miller Minutes is part of this episode as well! It’s so much fun working with Andrew Miller as I train for Moab Run the Rocks. I’m enjoying putting out this segment and giving you all a little glimpse into what it’s like working with a run coach. Andrew has been great to work with, we’re making great progress towards Moab and I think the next couple of months will be awesome as we get into crunch time. These episodes get posted on their own on the first Wednesday of the month as well!Food Fight FridayJason Bahamundi and I will be back with the next episode of Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station this week.
