Great post. This is a topic that is not talked about enough among coders. I am thankful I got into running before I ever started coding. 9 marathons later, still going strong.

You are right, usually most of the time we focus on code and have conversations/discussions about it at work.
Wow! 9 marathons! It's amazing 😃
I wish I got into sport before coding too 😅

Never too late to start. Don't focus on the 9 or even the marathon part. Find a sport you love to do, and it will stay with you forever. The problem most people have is "I have to go to the gym" syndrome. They hate it, it doesn't become routine, it is a chore. Don't make exercise a chore.
