It’s not the finish line. It’s not even the start line. It’s the people who get us there.❤️

Who supports you unconditionally?👇🏼

Don’t forget about the injured runner in your life.💕 One of the worst things about being injured as a runner is feeling disconnected from our community…

Not being able to show up to group runs.
Not being able to join in the conversation about our training.
Not being part of the race experience in the same way we are used to.

Though injuries can be lonely, let a friend know they’re not really alone.

[image description: the “injuries suck” card, against a white background, with an orange envelope behind it and a few items scattered around: a pen, stamps, and a Paper Trails Greeting Co. business card. The featured greeting card says in large hand-drawn bubble letters, “Injuries suck, but you totally don’t.”]

A little poem to brighten your Monday💙

I love you more than the post race shower
I love you more than a fresh pair of shoes
I love you more than a workout at max power,
More than carbs, gummies, gels, and Gu’s.
I’ll love you forever, my teammate and friend
And I’ll also love running, right up til the end.
Just, please, don’t make me choose.

[image: a card and teal envelope against white background, with a pen and a pair of Goodr sunglasses on either side. The card says “I love you more than the sprinkler at mile 9 of my long run.” It shows two bunnies facing one another with water droplets behind them.]

As a runner you don’t just go the extra mile— you go the extra .01, which is actually the hard stuff. It’s those little extras you do that create big success when done consistently. Things like…

💙 Actually doing a 5-min warmup before your run.
💙 Getting in some PT exercises
💙 Trading one episode of Stranger Things for a little more sleep
💙 Remembering to drink an extra glass of water
💙 Taking a moment to practice gratitude each day.

It all adds up. Keep moving forward today, friends, just .01 mile at a time.

[image: a stack of cards against a white background, each with a blue envelope, and Kristen’s hand is holding the top one. It is pale pink with red contour lines, a GPS location icon, and bold blue lettering that says “you always go the extra .01 mile.”]

NEW in the shop today! 🤩 By popular demand, it’s the “You are enough” card (inspired by & )

Plus, PTGC’s take on the classic Helvetica ampersand design. A few of every runner’s favorite things!

[image 1: a magenta envelope and light pink greeting card with magenta and yellow hand drawn text that says, “you are enough.” Shown on white surface, with a hand and pink pen to the right and a roll of address labels to the left. Image 2: a green envelope and white card against a white background. In green Helvetica font the card says, “Naps & Snacks & Out and backs.” There is a row of classic colored gummy bears underneath the text on the card. Actual gummy bears are scattered around on the surface surrounding the card.]

COMING FRIDAY 7/1. 🤩 As a non-professional and totally recreational runner, I excel in my dedication to the following disciplines of the sport: Naps. Snacks. Out and backs.

[image: white greeting card with green lettering and a green envelope, against a white background. It says in classic Helvetica font, “Naps & Snacks & Out and backs” with gummy bears at the bottom. A line of actual gummy bears are below the card, in rainbow order: red, orange, yellow, green, white. A pen and PTGC logo sticker are shown on either side of the card.]

In an increasingly digital world, are there at least a few friends who can recognize your handwriting?

I’ve thought about this before… I know the handwriting of both my parents, my two siblings, my grandma Rosie, and one great-grandpa who left behind several legendary family recipes. And I know my friend Chelsea’s handwriting. That’s about it.

I want several people to know mine. I want to be the kind of friend who writes often enough that an individual starts to recognize my meticulous, all-caps, nearly computerized looking handwriting.

Long live the handwritten note.

[image: digital graphic that says “long live the handwritten note” with radiating lines around the text in a circle pattern. “Handwritten” is, of course, in a scrawling handwritten script font.]

Sometimes you just need a friend who loves to hate the run, but WITH you.🤣

Share in the comments— What’s something (other than running) that you love to hate?

…For me it’s foam rolling/stretching. And crocs.😬

[image: the “Complaining partner” card against a white background; it has light purple hand drawn lettering that says, “there’s absolutely no one I’d rather complain through an entire run with.” It has red and magenta floral designs around the text, and a matching purple envelope behind it.]

You can’t force a frundship, it has to be earned over time, supporting one another through multiple p*e breaks and other unmentionable stops.💕💩💗

[image: the “frundship” card against a white background, with envelope, pen, and stamps shown next to it. It says, “Frundship; noun. A deep bond between two individuals as friends, formed by sharing their daily joys, struggles, and lives while running.”
