Becca and Jon drag themselves to the mic while both feeling wrecked—Jon’s coming off a brutal stomach bug, Becca’s battling sinus junk.

They dig into the difference between side quests vs. the main quest—how distractions, limbo, and unfinished projects can make it feel like nothing is moving forward. Becca lays out her mindset for 2026: forward with intention, getting strength training and running back at the forefront, and creating a clearer plan for life and work as they prepare for big changes on the farm.

The episode wraps with Mid-State season officially kicking off: Mid-State Mile registration opens January 1 at noon Central, plus a quick reminder of why Mid-State isn’t built for hype—it’s built for the runners who really want it.
