Hakim Tafari ( @hakstao ) is a different type of cat...so this was a different type of show and conversation than I/we have become accustomed to.

.

Hakim and I discussed his journey in life that lead to the human he is today, the power of meditation, how to begin our runs and each day with intention and mindfulness, the black runner’s experience and honestly so much more.

.

I ended this conversation feeling so full and edified. We talked about running but in a deeper sense. How we can use running as a tool to strengthen our mind and our hearts, not just our bodies.
