Does anyone else feel like the jump from 50 to 100 runs is mentally way harder than the first 50?

When you start, those milestones come thick and fast reaching 10, then 25, then the big 50. But suddenly, you hit that red-shirt milestone and realize you have a literal year of Saturdays ahead of you before you see another badge.

I’ve seen a few people at my local event drop off around run 60 or 70 because the goal feels so far away.

Has anyone else hit the 70 run wall? How did you keep yourself motivated to get to that 100 shirt?

Why does a quick trip in London always turn into a full mission?

Went out the other day thinking I’d just pop out quickly, grab one thing, and be back in under an hour. Somehow it turned into switching lines, waiting around, and walking way more than expected. Nothing even went wrong, it just adds up without you noticing. By the time I got back it felt like I’d done a whole day out instead of a quick errand. Now I automatically give myself extra time even for small plans because it never stays small. Feels like distance doesn’t mean much here, it’s all about how long it actually takes to get anywhere. Anyone else just assume everything will take longer than it should?
