A shiver ran down Clara's spine as she realized Mr. Miller, her gym teacher, followed her on Strava. Clara had recently started running, and had been posting her runs. This connection made her feel seen and inspired.

She started pushing herself harder during her runs, motivated by the thought that someone was watching. Her fatigue was diminished. She became more determined than ever.

In gym class, she ran further and faster than she ever had before. She felt a lightness in her step as she realized she was achieving her goals.
