#63 - We all struggle sometimes. Could be in our work, our relationships, or our fitness, to name a few.

I went for a run last weekend and struggled. I couldn't get in a good rhythm. My quads were hurting. I was running slower than I hoped. I started feeling down.

Then a thought occurred to me. Struggle is an opportunity!

I was able to turn a bad run into a great one. How? That's what this episode is all about.

I talk about how we can reimagine our struggles and find the positives in them and come out stronger because of them.
