A friend sent me a really interesting prompt last week that I'm sharing with you all today, one that I thought a lot about on my morning 5K time trial this morning. Spoiler alert: If you're not doing things for YOU, then what's the point?

PROMPT: What do you do because it matters to you? And what do you do because you want to signal something to other people?

REGISTER: Hurdle Sessions
This month I launched Hurdle Sessions: New online seminar programming, aiming to provide Hurdlers with education surrounding topics I’m well-versed in as a veteran journalist, entrepreneur, and run coach. This week, we covered “How to Start (and Stay!) Running,” which is now available for purchase on the Hurdle website. Coming up next week on August 11 is “How to Turn Your Side Hustle into Your Main Gig.” Each Hurdle Session includes downloadable materials and a charitable donation.
