What if the real gold medal was never waiting at the finish line?

In this Solo with Intention episode, Bryan Hatch reflects on what training for and running a marathon revealed about effort, endurance, and the mental battle that begins long before race day. What started as a physical challenge became a deeper lesson about discipline, discomfort, support, and the quiet repetition that shapes identity.
