Hey everyone, it's Adrienne here. I hope that you're all having a great week in the last few days leading up to Christmas.

So I guess I've just been reflecting on the year, the good and the bad. It's definitely been a busy year and a highlight of the year for me has been launching this podcast

but yeah i think one thing i was thinking about is that often when we reflect back on the year

it's kind of like we just look at like the the successes and the highlights it's like a highlight

but i do think it's also very important to look at our failures and to be introspective

and to kind of think about, you know, the good,

the bad and everything else in between as well. And earlier this week, we shared the episode

with Charlie, Charlie Dark. So if you haven't already listened to that, have a listen, check

that out. But I spoke to him about a failure that I had this year, which was when I went to Berlin to run the marathon

and I was injured and I wasn't able to finish the race. And it was really, really difficult

for lots of different reasons to not be able to finish that race. But I really liked what he

had to say about it. So I just thought I'd share that with you guys. So yeah, here's what

Charlie had to say about that. I mean, you know, the thing is at the end of the day, I always say

to people it's kind of like, whether it's you're running one mile, two miles, three, five,

running a 10k, running a half marathon, running a marathon, it's still a distance that many people wouldn't even drive. Yes, yeah. Do I mean?

Yeah.

So I'm just kind of like, you know,

I've got the ultimate respect for anyone who does that.

And for anyone who, you know, D&Fs at a race,

got even more respect for you,

particularly when you're an ambassador,

because it's hard.
