"We ran in silence for a while after that, just the gravel and the river." I can hear the crunch, crunch, crunch, of the gravel, Julie. What a great sensory experience: what you felt under your feet and saw while running onward. I get it. So cool. Can't wait to read more!

Lovely writing Jules

Your similes are moving

Just like your two legs...

Just as your running becomes more stellar with each effort so does your writing. Your last paragraph today stopped me in my tracks and I took the time to visualize your every word. It transported me to the "river" running beside you both. Thank you🙌

You're welcome, Clark! I'm so happy to know. Running along that river was so special. Thanks again, and I hope Sharon had a wonderful Mother's Day.

I love this Clark! I'm trying hard to show, not tell, and not make this boring writing. I appreciate you reading along and your encouragement. Writing is so much like running.
