Today started off like any other day: I woke up at 6 AM, put on my workout gear, and headed out for my usual run along the coast. The fresh sea breeze and the first rays of sunlight always energize me for the day ahead. But today, something unexpected happened.

As I was running, lost in my thoughts and listening to my favorite music, I noticed someone waving at me from a distance. As I got closer, I realized it was my old friend Anna from high school! 🥹 We hadn’t seen each other in years, and here she was, running on the same path.

We stopped and caught up for a bit, reminiscing about old times and laughing about the silly things we used to do. Anna told me she had recently moved to the area and had started running in the mornings too. It was such a pleasant surprise to reconnect with her 😜

We decided to finish our run together, chatting away and sharing our stories. It reminded me of how important it is to keep in touch with old friends and how small the world can be sometimes. By the end of our run, we both felt more motivated and happy.

This unexpected encounter brightened my day and made my run even more special. It’s funny how life brings people back into your life when you least expect it. So, next time you’re out and about, keep your eyes open – you never know who you might run into!

Have a great day, everyone! And don’t forget to cherish those unexpected moments✨
