Adam's DNS sob story, creatine packets, and burnout

Bonus episode! Adam got sick and didn't run The Bear which left us time to record this week. We start off discussing what led to Adam's decision and how it applies to situations we see runners face all the time. We also discuss silly single use creatine packets, how to manage structure vs joy in the process to prevent burnout, and we (Adam) even make the case that civil engineers deserve as much "cool credit" as architects.
