Captured By My Own Shadows


Listen Later

“Captured by My Own Shadows” steps into the depths of memory and belonging. I unravel the quiet ache of being far from home, the guilt of disconnection, and the love that lingers even across oceans. A simple moment, a name, a story—awakens a deeper truth: even as distance grows, the heart refuses to let go. This is a journey through guilt, hope, and the enduring bond to a homeland that still claims my soul.


Get ready for adventure with the Trail Running Film Festival Global Tour 2025, presented by Brooks! 🎥 Hosted by Lincoln Running Co., it all happens Friday, May 16, doors open at 6:00 PM, film rolls at 6:30 PM.It’s a free event, donations are welcome in support of Friends of Wilderness Park! 🌳 Come get inspired, dream big, and kick off trail season with us!


Mark your calendars for May 1st — it’s the second Brooks First Thursday Run of 2025!

This month’s theme is All Things Lincoln Marathon, and it’s the perfect chance to enjoy a fun, relaxed run through Downtown Lincoln, the UNL Campus, and nearby trails. The route is usually about 3–4 miles, and you can run (or walk!) at your own pace. Here’s how it works: Meet at Lincoln Running Co (1213 Q St) at 6:30 pm, where you’ll receive a map and directions to a series of checkpoints. At each checkpoint, you’ll be given a fun task or asked a question — complete it to earn a raffle ticket! Everyone will gather back at Tower Square by 7:30 pm for a raffle prize drawing, with great giveaways (including a chance to win a pair of Brooks shoes!). All are welcome, so bring a friend, enjoy the downtown vibes, and be part of this fun running community, thanks to Ann R. (She is so cool!).
