"It wasn't until later when I looked over the video that I noticed the second gentleman at the top, who paused to give her a high-five as she finished her run," Tran added. "I thought that was the coolest thing to be so supportive of each other out there."

The video was not the first glimpse of Harris's affection for working out. Speaking with former President Barack Obama in September, she said, "I work out every morning, regardless of how much sleep I've had. It's just the best way to start the day."

Harris was sworn in as vice president on Jan. 20 alongside President Joe Biden. She is the first Black, South Asian, and woman vice president in United States history. Due to the current 50/50 split in the Senate, she also has the critical role of casting any tie-breaking votes, something she did for the first time earlier this month.
