Whew, what an episode. This week we take on a listener question about how we stay motivated to run. This is not your typical discussion about all the ways to force ourselves out the door. We discuss self-reflection and how to get to the root cause of feeling less enthused about running. And we give tips that have helped us if we decided we wanted to keep going or how we have decided to press pause. In fact, Shanna has shared she has decided to press pause on her marathon goals and drop out of Chicago. 

The episode ends rather abruptly when something happens in the room Whitney is recording in. 

Per usual, this episode begins with our usual banter laced with inappropriateness. We are who we are. 

We hope we keep you company on the run or in the car line or doing laundry, etc.
