Hi Sarah, appreciate your writing after discovering your journal only just lately, and I started looking forward to getting notified of a new post. And since I'm spending more time at home healing from a severe allergic reaction, I didn't wait for new posts and dug in to your archive. It's been a blessing! I truly enjoy reading your adventures peppered with interesting photos of you always with a smile and of your family and environs. Dreaming of the time I can visit the US and Colorado sometime in the next few years, I hope. I now have a new bucket list item that I'm looking forward to much, thanks to your journal. Best regards, Rob (54, weekend runner, Makati, Philippines)

Thanks, Rob. I have never had someone read all my archived posts, so I was curious to know what prompted you to take a deep dive into this newsletter's archives. I hope you heal well, and thanks for reading.

I think you are an awesome runner and writer. I recall that your Dad was one of your greatest fans and supporters. That reason alone would be enough to run. Keep up the inspiring running and writing! After a long hiatus from ultra running, I'll be hitting the ultra running scene again soon!
