Oof, building momentum is arguably the hardest part of any lifestyle change. That being said, once you hit escape velocity, it starts to feel more natural, and eventually, it feels harder to stop than to keep going.
I find many people psych themselves out before they reach this point because starting can feel so damn hard. Reducing friction and adjusting the plan where necessary in the beginning is a great approach.
That long term momentum is so tough. I keep focused on the short term momentum, and I'll wait for that escape velocity to set in. Thanks for the congrats. I won last place. lol 153 days until the LA Marathon.

Congrats on the half marathon!

I think that's a wise approach. I'm aiming to apply the same principle to writing here.
Love it - I've yet to run a half marathon, so you've outperformed me!
Run is a strong word, but I did finish it. 😆
