I completely enjoyed reading about your Ventura experience, Sarah--so well told! Am a 59 year-old runner and have also felt such joy when seeing the marathon clock under four hours!

Also just read your Miwok 100k report, which was awesome. I am so sorry about the passing of your mother--take the best care.

Thank you for writing with such heart and detail about the running universe. All my best to you as you prepare for your 100 miler!

Great tour of your home and of exactly how my brain would also be working if I was running a race 😂

Thank you for reading! Yes, it was a head trip as well as a 26 mile run!

This was fun to read my husband grew up in Ventura & his family was there until his dad passed. And hope your hip feels better quickly. I know your pace didn’t impress you, but it impressed me! 😜 I’ll bet there was a lot of releasing going on with all the memories flowing.

thanks so much for reading! Yes, it was a cathartic -- and humbling -- experience :-) Ventura is a neat place; I hadn't spent time there in years.
