Fighting the Urge to Just Go Back to Bed

I will say that probably what pushed me to get out there was happening to read the challenge from the Twitter Running group I saw posted on Strava.

I’d like to say that raising money for clean water was enough, but this has been a challenging fund raising year as well. When it doesn’t feel like your running is really making a difference it’s also hard to want to get out there and get some more miles in.
