O God bless you Julie! My prayers were with you! How amazing it must feel to be on this side of that challenge. You are so precious to me and to many. I just know that God was grinning ear to ear as you crossed that finish line.
Oh Claudette! I'm in tears. I love this so much..."God grinning ear to ear." I believe He was. He is so good. xoxo I was so honored to run for Julie, Suzanne, John, Kathy H, and Janelle.
Hi Nollaig! I was so honored to run the first mile for you and with you. Sending so much strength and comfort to you.
Dear Heavenly Father, Nothing is impossible for you. Give Nollaig Your grace, strength, and healing. Give her endurance. Let your power and grace be made evident. In Jesus' name, amen.
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! Oh, you absolute WINNER, Julie - what a phenomenal achievement! FIFTY MILES!!! Wow, just wow, with a side-order of wow and 50 wow-sized cherries on top!
I’m in utter awe. Can’t wait to see you and your medal later!!! 🏆
HA! You're the BEST Rebecca! I was so happy to see you, share the medal, and tell you some stories. What a fun write session. I hope you got some good writing in. Always a joy to see your smiling face. Have a great week.
Margaret! Thank you so much for the messages, cheers, and encouragement! You are wonderful! I'm soaking it in and I'm so happy I get to do this. Have a wonderful week. xx
Thank you so much Ruth for reading and sharing your friend Iris's name and story with me. I had so much strength in those last miles and I could sense she was cheering me on and you too! :) I can't wait to share more next week.
Congratulations, Julie B! I used the AccuWeather app to check forecasts for Saturday. I thought of snow dumps! Of smog and smoke from recent brushfires in the vicinity of NYC. Of course Saturday morning on rising I checked again. Now you’ve shared the results of your long-planned run. Brava. Nothing but Brava. What an inspiration you are.
Hi Gary, It was wonderful to see you this morning and write together. :) The weather was crazy Friday and then turned out gorgeous for Saturday's run! We couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you so much for your support and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Julie B. I mentioned your run to several friends and received quizzical brows in return. Followed by, “Why would anyone want to do that??” I suggested endorphins played a role. Competitive athletes get that, white water kayakers, and many others. I’m endlessly proud to know someone of your mental toughness, faith in God, kindness, and generosity. How did Brindsley and Delaney respond? I picture Brindsley with a group of his friends asking, “Do you wanna know what my mom did last Saturday? Ran 50.2 miles in a hyper trail run!” Were Jeff and the children able to get a good view of your efforts? The collage was a good condensation of the overall effort! Here’s wishing you and your family a joyous Thanksgiving.
HA! I can imagine their faces now. A simple reply "Because I can and I want to." LOL. I was sad my family couldn't make it. Jeff was working so they stayed back with my Mom. I wish they were there. I was happy they could watch the live stream and see me cross the finish! Thank you so much Gary and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hi Diane! What a joy to see you today. Thank you for joining us to write and it was so fun to share some of my adventures with you all. :) Thanks again. Have a wonderful week and Thanksgiving. xx
Good morning, Charles, I'm sorry to hear about your knee. Are you still running? I hope you can keep at it if it's something you enjoy. That's amazing about your daughter!! Tiree is an island correct? Will she run around it? Tell me more when you get a chance...I'm so curious. :)
The Scottish islands host runs of all sorts. Most go up to half marathon. However a couple go beyond that. The outer isles host a 3 island marathon and Tiree has its ultra. 35 mls equals once round the island. Up till I injured my knee(medial cruciate) I would do the 10k. I’m allowed at the moment 5 mins plus 1. The runs and the music festivals bring people to these beautiful empty places. We camp and cycle around exploring and wading in to swim with the seals.
Oh wow! This sounds amazing. I'm putting this on my list. :) Maybe a run vacation for the family. :) Thank you for sharing more with me. And I'm happy to hear you're allowed some time on your feet.
So So So proud of you, Julie. You are a torchbearer to those who desperately need the light back in their lives. Keep up the great leaps to scale the world. God bless you!
Good morning Amie! Thank you so much! I got your card yesterday and was so happy to read your encouragement. It was great to have you as a run buddy. So much love and hugs are coming your way. xx Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Hi Bill, You know I've read this but I haven't shared it with my family yet. Thank you for bringing this up. I would love to follow your lead and make it a tradition in our family. Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!! xx
Way to go, Julie!!!! Huge congrats for a job well done! What a feat for your feet! and mind! body! spirit! I can only imagine the soaring feelings of accomplishment and joy. Hooray!!!!
Hi Julie! Thank you so much. I'm still processing it all. I was able to get in some good writing today so maybe I will sleep better knowing much of the day is now written down. I don't want to forget anything. LOL

Hi Charles, I appreciate your message. Thank you so much. It was incredible.
It’s abit beyond me. I damaged a knee training for a half marathon early this year. Next year my eldest daughter is doing 35 mls on Tiree.
Good morning, Charles, I'm sorry to hear about your knee. Are you still running? I hope you can keep at it if it's something you enjoy. That's amazing about your daughter!! Tiree is an island correct? Will she run around it? Tell me more when you get a chance...I'm so curious. :)

My limbs ❤️ it’s my duty to tune em up to its optimal ❤️
I love this Paolo. You're right, it's our duty to keep moving and stay fit. I was honored to toe the line. Thank you for being here with us.
So So So proud of you, Julie. You are a torchbearer to those who desperately need the light back in their lives. Keep up the great leaps to scale the world. God bless you!
Hi Vineet,
Thank you so much for this kind message and compliment! I hope your weekend is full of love and grace. God Bless!
Pleasure is all mine, Julie. Many thanks for your warm wishes wrapped in love and affection and I reciprocate the same to you.
WELL DONE, Julie! Very impressive!
Good morning Amie! Thank you so much! I got your card yesterday and was so happy to read your encouragement. It was great to have you as a run buddy. So much love and hugs are coming your way. xx Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Julie, if Seth’s Thanksgiving Reader is not yet used in your family, you all may enjoy!

Good morning Mary B!! It was so incredible! I'm still processing it all and am so happy I made it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Roll around in the processing - that in itself can be exhilarating! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.
Thank you so much Mary B.
Congrats on another strong start and finish!
