Messing about with empathy
Long-term goals can be, well, long term. It can be hard to maintain your momentum when the end is a long way off. Whether your goal is losing weight, earning a degree, running every day for a year, or something else, the way to stay strong is to celebrate the small milestones. I have run…
I finished my reading challenge. Just before the new year, a wonderful member of the Potterhead Running Club (PHRC) designed a fun reading challenge.
