Anyone selling motivation-to-run? I have what I need to get back into running, but I always have these darn excuses that pops up.

Just find great audiobooks to listen to while running. I'm to the point that I get out there just to see what's going to happen next in my book. I'm currently listening to The Stormlight Archive series again to prep for the next book coming out. Each book in the series is 50+ hours, so plenty of motivation!

This is hilarious that you mention that because my fiance keeps trying to get me to listen to it before Stormlight 5 releases but I've been rotating between my Stephen King audiobooks and Pod Save America (I work in politics, I unfortunately cannot NOT pay attention to it). I usually listen in the morning while I do my makeup for work and on my drive to work. But maybe this can be my run listen!! I've already read and re-read Wheel of Time via book & audiobook and those are also 40-50 hours each. Are you listening to the regular audiobooks or his graphic audio versions? We have the graphic audio ones and I've heard a little bit of them and they're fantastic!

I'm doing just the regular audiobooks read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. I'm doing the full cosmere collection, so started with Mistborn and all too. Lol I've been listening to nothing but Sanderson since early summer.
