This episode is a little different than most of our Monday episodes. Usually, I interview an expert who has done hard things. Today, I talk about an experience I recently had and the lesson I learned. Today we talk about the 7 lessons I learned from running a Terrain Race. The lessons are: 1. Expect Difficulty. It’s more fun that way. 2. Everyone gets dirty 3. It’s Never Perfect 4. You aren’t alone. 5. There is always a finish line. 6. Embrace the suck. 7. Reward In the show we also talk about our show sponsor, Audible.
