I live in Atlanta, GA, and temperatures are going down to the 30 degrees Fahrenheit for the mornings.

And yet despite this, I still plan on running early in the mornings. Family duties leave me no choice but to get my training runs in the morning.

Running an entire training plan for a future race is a tough. Adding on the difficulty of changing habits makes training seem insurmountable.

I honestly welcome the challenge.

I'm reminded of an impactful piece of content from Alex Hormozi, which resonate with me with my own upcoming half-marathon training:

Overcoming potential obstacles can really be as easy as first taking on this mindset, then doing whatever challenge is in front of you.

30 degree cold and dark early morning run?

Well I can't run during the day, and I definitely can't run at night.

I will do what is required.

More often than not, you know what you have to do to achieve your own running goals.
