🏃‍♂️ Another Excuse for Running ❤️

By Joachim Baan • Issue #22 • View online

First

I know… It’s been ages since you’ve received this ‘newsletter’ from me… Also, quite a lot happened since…

What was this again? It’s that newsletter you subscribed to long time ago, sharing the random stuff I find, read, watch and enjoy (and believe you will do too) on a very irregular base.

So, as we’re working on a new design and an updated idea behind Another Something - trying to reframe what ‘content’, ‘blogging’ or ‘curating’ even means in 19/20 - it felt it was time again to warm up this engine too.

Kicking it off with a cry for help 🙏

As said, quite a lot happened over the past years. In essence, I reached rock bottom, climbed up, and kicking around again at the moment (If you want to know the more personal story, read it on my Speed of Solitude journal).

To celebrate this, we are raising money for the Dutch Heart Foundation by doing a 60 km’s run over the beach this October the 5th. It’s called the 11Stranden Tocht, a run along 11 beaches following the Dutch coastline. And to raise more money we are making a long sleeve performance shirt.

For this one we’ve teamed up again with Lennard Kok to create a special artwork to accompany the quote by meditation teacher and long distance runner Sri Chinmoy. The shirt is brought to you by Office of Information, supported by Tenue de Nîmes and printed on a high quality performance shirt from Patagonia.

You can pre-order it here → 💸

Or just support the run here (Dutch only, sorry…) → ❤️

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder. In noise rather than silence.”

— Fred Rogers knew it already…

ITEN

More running related: ITEN is the first in a row of ‘The Distance Book Series’ by photographer and artistic director Thibaut Grevet with the aim to produce a singular vision of some of the world’s most emblematic places related to running and its culture.

We asked Yoann Wenger from Distance (and the art director of the book) and Thibaut Grevet to talk a bit more about the project, resulting in this wonderful conversation >

The Fuck Trump and his Stupid Fucking Wall Blend by Empirical Spirits, the flavor company founded in 2017 by Restaurant Noma alumni Lars Williams and Mark Emil Hermansen, is a need to have! Aesthetically pleasing, amazing taste and abold statement! Love that!
