      @@rei Unless it is Pro-Union right? The email y’all sent me as response was so dismissive it makes me realize y’all never cared about me as a customer lol

    Cool. How about now you recognize the union.

    I appreciate hearing about what gets you out the door. I like to tell myself that I should go for at least 15 minutes and if I’m not feeling it, I can turn back. After 15 mins, I almost never want to stop.

    I needed to hear this! As a new runner with asthma, some days are really tough. It’s good to know I’m not alone and that I am capable of pushing past the tough moments. Thanks for sharing!

    Let your employees unionize!!

    While I usually love your online content, I'm afraid I won't be consuming any more of it until REI's leadership stops union-busting and allows its workers to organize without repercussion.

    Thank you for sharing! Running a half marathon this Sunday and needed a bit of motivation.

    Let your workers unionize. Be the company we know you are and can be and that many of your customers are loyal to and believe in.

    This is a great video and not what I was expecting at all! I’ve never heard anyone give gear as a motivation, but it’s totally true. There’s something fun and satisfying to use great gear for its intended purpose.

    Thinking “how much do I have to run to eat this date” doesn’t sound like a healthy mindset to me

    Now I’m super excited for spring Trail Running! Thanks for the video :-) I feel the same way about Running and social time and I never ever want to be the person who bails on an early morning run! My sister lives up in the Seattle area, any favorite trails to recommend? Thinking I need to get up there this spring!

    Pretty sure Miranda is in jail for insider trading at this point.
