Hi, this is Debbie Boyles, coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 156,

the challenge of running through the holidays and the December Mojo for Running challenge.

Let's talk about maintaining your running during this holiday season between Thanksgiving

and the end of the year.

You may have noticed a theme because I tend to do a podcast about this in general, about this challenge, about this time every year.

This year, I have a specific challenge to keep you

motivated and accountable for the month of December. And it matters not if you don't hear this

episode for a few days because you can count any miles you've already run. Jump in any time.

I'll explain all the details in just a bit. but i also want to give you a bit of other

motivational and mindset content all geared to the holiday season and the challenges that come with

it i hope you are all well and enjoying great weather here in tampa the next few months provide us with by far the best

running weather of the whole year, which brings me to this. Why not come for a weekend? Seriously,

I love it, and my running club does too, when visitors to our area come and run with us when they're

in town. Anyone, anywhere, can go to runtampa.com, my local website,

and click group runs. In the drop-down menu, you'll see two pages, schedule and locations.

You'll find everything you need right there. Before I continue, at this time of year, we have many

race options every weekend, all and all distances.

But anymore, most areas have races year-round.

And if you've raced much, you know some races are far better than others.

We can afford to be picky.

Think about all the elements that together have you

returning from the race with a smile on your face or a frown. Well, maybe not a frown, but you know what I mean.
