We work so we can provide water, food, and shelter for our families and loved ones. If we are fortunate to cover the basic needs of existence we spend our time in recreation. It's what we live for. Running is life - it's a way to clear the mind, rejuvenate the soul and exercise our bodies. The ability to step outside an run is, for many of us, a basic human right. One that we take for granted. Yet there are many people, that due to conflict and hunger, who can not do something as simple and free as running. @theultrarunnergirl (Stephanie Case) highlights this disparity in "Free To Run", on @thenorthface YouTube channel. In an ultra ultra race around the Valle d'Aosta, Italy, Steph looks into why we run and the benefits we garner. Her connection to Afghan women shines in this short film. Please consider taking a break from the "Stream of Binge" and taking a sip from the fount of ultra running and compassion. It's worth a watch. #ultrarunning #afganistan #tor450 #tordesglaciers @thenorthface_trail #kabul #valledaosta #neverstopexploring #linkinbio Images courtesy of the film. https://youtu.be/94LezdhOB10
