Listen to why Lindsay decided to run 50 miles in 10 days.
It has nothing to do with fitness or weight.Â
It’s about mental strength and conditioning…
It’s about making a physical change in order to make a mental change.
It’s about wanting to be tough and have thick skin and be ready when life throws curveballs your way.Â
Lindsay talks about pushing through discomfort- get to the point where your mind is saying STOP- and that's actually where you start.Â
Because can’t be extraordinary by staying in what’s comfortable.
All of this will make us stronger and ready to face the tough situation we are all in right now. Â
Lindsay talks about challenging yourself everyday so you don't get rusty.Â
Accept what you suck at and use that as your drive, not your excuse. Â (She explains honestly how she used to make excuses for things rather than pushing through it.)
Lindsay talks about setting goals and making sure you push through to the end so YOU know that you will when you tell yourself you will do something. Â
This is a big topic and she wants to be clear that she is still so compassionate and empathetic and loving - just trying to do it with thicker skin.  So she can be tough when you get a hard call that someone you love is sick… or you are going through something hard.  It’s all about bring strong so you can handle more and how we can make conscious decisions to get there. Â
And that’s why she thinks we should all be working everyday on our mental conditioning. Not accepting what’s average or what we’ve always done, but to challenge ourselves and PUSH through the pain… and control that most important conversation we have - the one in our own heads about ourselves.Â
You wake up with it, you walk around with it… you go to bed with it. And you act on it. Good or bad. That’s what this whole thing is about. Â
Let’s deal with the Corona virus or whatever else you’re facing right now with strength and mental toughness…. Because it will make us better and we will come out of it stronger and more awesome!

0:00.0 | I was taking my morning cold shower and I was doing what I often do, which is sort of yell, |
0:04.9 | cold shower through the process. It just makes me feel a little better doing it and just more like |
0:11.4 | a tiger in there. My husband popped in and was like, that's not cold. And I was like, what? |
0:17.2 | He's like, look at the knob. It's not all the way down. You're taking a lukewarm shower. |
0:22.5 | I was like, first, get the F out of my shower. And then, of course, I looked and I turned it to the |
0:27.9 | coldest possible, which it was already really cold, but I didn't realize it wasn't at the coldest. |
0:34.0 | And then I was like, huh, maybe I'm not making myself super uncomfortable and pushing through |
0:40.0 | things when things are hard and making myself tougher and challenging myself enough like I thought |
0:45.5 | I was. |
0:46.7 | Then the next day, I got up early, got on the treadmill like I do, and I was picking which |
0:52.0 | Peloton class I wanted to take. |
0:54.1 | And there was a class that popped up |
0:55.6 | that looked fun with music I like and an instructor I like, but it was a 60-minute class. And I only do |
1:02.0 | 20-minute classes. I do it usually first before as a warm-up before I do my other workout. And I was |
1:07.5 | like, well, that sucks. And then I thought, wait, why can't I take an hour-long class? |
1:13.5 | Well, I'll tell you the story that plays in my head. My left knee and my left ankle give me |
1:18.9 | trouble when I run and I don't want to risk injury. And I have a possible broken rib from when I |
1:23.6 | fell down the stairs two months ago, which are valid reasons, but I realized |
1:28.9 | there are excuses. I was giving myself excuses to not push myself and get uncomfortable and feel |
1:36.0 | the pain, not from my knee or ankle, but feel the pain that you do when you push yourself. |
1:41.7 | So in that moment, I decided I was going to work on getting tougher, |
1:46.3 | thickening my own skin and not putting self-imposed limits on myself. And let me tell you, |
