I'm taking on a project that I has about a 1% chance of success. I'm not sure what is motivating me to attempt something so far out of my limitations, but for some reason my gut says give it a go. I will go at it with eyes wide open and enjoy the ride. One sentiment that Rick Rubin reiterates over and over in his latest book, The Creative Act: A Way of Being, is to trust the universe when it's telling you something.Thank you for another good read and more great advice/inspiration.
i needed this today. i had a really bad last peak run before i run the nyc half next week, was literally asking folks yesterday whether they thought i should drop out. this inspires me to show up even if *maybe* i won't run the race i'd hoped for. thanks coach!
Loved this week’s podcast! You might want to add Do Hard Things by Steve Magness to your 2023 reading list. So many parallels to what you were saying, and the author uses running to illustrate many of his points about Real Toughness.
I failed a test recently and it was really important to me. This message touched my heart in a deep way. Thanks Coach Bennett, for always knowing what to say at the right moment.
I’m 10 days away from running my first Marathon. Maybe I won’t finish.. but maybe I will!
By the way, today I ran the celebration run with you. Yes, on a Tuesday...
And this is about running and this is NOT about running. Right? ;)
Coach, I measured my run last night with fun units.

Thank you coach needed this today was just about to go eat and skip the rub and gym 🙏
This was exactly what I needed to hear today as I work towards my first half marathon. Thank you for the positivity!

Love this perspective shift, Coach!!! Game-changing stuff.
I’m a post partum athlete returning to the marathon course this year with a PR set goal. Maybe I won’t meet my pr goal.. but maybe I will.
