Celebration episode inbound! In this episode, Katie, Jim, and Elena reflect on the lessons we’ve learned from 100 (!) episodes of the podcast. We riff on themes including connection, community, endurance principles, gratitude, vulnerability, progress, and creativity, and we share what excites us most about the next 100 episodes. Our biggest takeaway? None of this would be possible without all of our listeners, so thank you to everyone who has come back week after week to signal to us that we have created something worth listening to. We are incredibly grateful, and cheers to the next 100!

Challenge of the week:

Jim: Asking myself when have I been at my best and what was I doing to get there?

Elena: Treat yourself to a nice breakfast (and see if you feel better throughout the day!)

Katie: Season recap journaling and goal mapping for next year. See our sheet here! Key questions to answer:

What are you most proud of about your season?
What did you enjoy most about your season?
Reflecting on your season, what were the biggest challenges you encountered?
What about this season do you want to do differently next season?
What about this season do you want to do the same next season?

Gear pick of the week:

Jim: Kinco 1927KW™ gloves - the best fall / winter bike gloves (and doing any chores / walks outside.

Katie: Craft Hybrid Weather glove - better for running/trail running/hiking, OK for biking too; these are in my pack always, including in summer

Elena: Sprints Car Towel – great for the heat of summer or the wet muddy fall
