Hello, my friends, it is Monday. It is together Monday. However, as you probably notice,

there is no together run today. I just wanted to do a little message as we go into this holiday

season. And also, as there is a gap, there's that part of me that really feels irritated

by it that wants to, you know, I said I would do this every week. I'm going to do this every week.

You know, what are you doing like missing a week? You could have found a way. And I could have.

But I decided it was for the best not to. And so I want to talk a little bit about that right now,

but also just give you a few other things as we go into this season. So just, yeah, a few messages

from me. I have no notes in front of me. I'm just going to talk for a few minutes,

although knowing me, it might be more. And I just wanted to check in, firstly, I do ask this

in the together runs, but how are you? If you are having a tough time right now, feel free to reach

out. You can find me on social media, you can send me an email, feel free to reach out. If you are

struggling, I'd love to be there for you as I can or pass you along to someone who can be an

expert in the area that you need. So that's my first thing that's most important.

Next, with the together runs, they will be ongoing. I have been asking for people to come join me

on together runs and record one themselves. And we've had quite a few people interested. So you

will be hearing some guest together runs because the reality is in the winter, I've mentioned this

on the together runs, it is difficult to record when it is cold. Not, I mean, having the gloves

carrying the phone fine, but more, we all know when it's cold enough, it's kind of hard to talk.

Your mouth gets kind of, you can't really speak very well. So I've decided that I think it would

be good to have some guests together runs to take over. So if you'd like to do that, you can email

me about that. But the reason there's not one today is if you don't follow me on social media,

or you don't get the email newsletter, in which case go to running for real.com, sign up
