Motivation “Runday” Monday – Michelle Garcia – Maricopa, AZ – 9/6/21

Hello Runners!

Motivation Runday Monday features a unique runner that gives a motivating running message to get your running week off on the right foot!

This episode is a special edition of Motivation "Runday" Monday. A few episodes ago, I said I was discontinuing MRM because of no participation from runners. Well, wouldn't you know it, out of the blue, an incredible runner submitted a voice message. So I couldn't turn down sharing her words with all of you.

This episode featured runner is Michelle Garcia from Maricopa, Arizona. Michelle is an everyday runner that loves the sport and has been running for 23 years. She loves running and the benefits that come along with the sport.

Runners, I will keep the Motivation "Runday" Monday page open and feature a runner who submits a recording. You will find complete instructions and questions to help guide you at feelgoodrunning.com/mrm. In addition, there is a link to record up to a 5-minute message you can do from your laptop, computer, tablet, or even your phone. And if you need more time, go back, click and record up to another 5 minutes.

Motivation "Runday" Monday is about runners motivating other runners! So consider being a part of Motivation "Runday" Monday and get your 15-minutes of fame. Your words will inspire other runners! And please share this podcast episode with your running friends.

Have a fantastic running week!
