In this episode, I dive into the ultimate struggle of forcing myself to run when every fibre of my being begs to stay in bed. After a night of celebration for my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, dealing with a hangover, battling plantar fasciitis, and facing cold, rainy weather, the last thing I wanted was to hit the pavement. Yet, experience, reinforced habits, and the power of reflection pushed me through. Join me as I share the invaluable lessons I've learned about overcoming procrastination and adversity, drawing upon past experiences, and leaning on the power of habit to keep moving forward. Remember, every run, no matter how tough, contributes to my mission to save the lives of children through my ultimate ultramarathon challenge.
