HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE READY TO TAKE ON A BIG SCARY GOAL?

Hello, hello!

This week, we broke down how to know if a Big Scary Goal is the right goal for you. We LOVE a Big Scary Goal—in fact, they're an important part of sport + life. But how do you know when the goal you're considering is actually a reasonable, realistic and worthwhile goal for you? We broke down how I (Molly) decided to sign up for my first 100-miler, and the questions to ask when considering your next (or first!) Big Scary Goal: Why + How I Decided It Was Time for a 100-Miler — And How to Know When It’s Time for a Big Scary Goal
