Reading Pressfield’s The War of Art AGAIN! I took your recent mention of the book, along with 2 other mentions as a sign to revisit.

This week on OLOL, Jay and I will be talking about the short chapter about “support as a form of resistance”.

Keep running and sharing Julie. 😊

Now that’s a book I’m going to take down again and open. Thanks for the nudge Gail.

My pleasure! I love how I am reading it again with an upscaled level of awareness. 🤯

Good morning Gail! It's on my desk to open frequently now. LOL I'm looking forward to you and Jay's conversation this week. :) Thank you so much. Keep going Gail.

Glad you like "The Longest Race" Ayre's is special. Thrilled you are running this 50 miler. If you get "hooked" on Ultras, I have a friend who has run The Tahoe 200 three times. She is a medical doctor and loves "Ultras" and would be happy to talk to you should you have any questions or concerns about this race or future Ultras.👣👣👣

wow! The Tahoe 200 three times. That's impressive. I would love to connect with her if I decide this is more than a one and done adventure. :) I bet she has so many stories and wisdom to share. Thanks Clark!

If you ever want to reach out to her before or after the race, I will be happy to introduce the two of you. My wife Sharon is a big fan of hers. And by the way, you two share "first" names‼️

I would love that Clark if you think it's not too much to ask. I love that we both share first names. :) Feel free to send her my email. Thanks again!

'.....to soar with enthusiasm'! YES!!!

I've turned to novels recently in a bigger way than usual - hmmm, perhaps that's how I've got behind on my Substack reading?! I've been enjoying the longer-form genre for a while.

Speaking of longer-form - I'm so thrilled for you in this run-up to such a long race! Exciting times!!!

oh wonderful Rebecca. What novels are you digging into to? Happy reading especially with fall in the air. :) A good book and warm drink.

As well as having a Bill Bryson paperback on the go (Neither Here nor There) I’ve been reading - and listening - a lot on the Libby app, having only very recently discovered it! I’ve enjoyed a couple of thrillers, reread several Agatha Christies - and enjoyed the beautiful indulgence of Little House in the Big Woods, which was one of my absolute favourites as a child!

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for sharing all the fun books you're reading and listening to. :) Last year I read Little House in the Big Woods to the kids. I also grew up reading all The Little House in the Prairie books...so good. Enjoy your day. :)

I LOVED those books - I’m so happy to have rediscovered them!

Good morning Julie! I like your invitation to begin this first day of a new work week. The blend of running and seeing our surroundings is a delight. That view of Goldenrods in Labrador Hollow, set against the solid background of a green hillside, is breathtaking. The best of days to you and yours!

Labrador Hollow is breathtaking! I'm so lucky to it's just a 20 minute drive away. I will be holding outdoors learning sessions there with my kiddos. :) I hope your Monday is off to a great start and maybe we'll see you soon to write.

Reading sustains me

Like oxygen and water

Words are miracles...
