Thanks for sharing. One reason I enjoy running is the opportunity to unplug and devote time to meaningful listening and thinking.

Thanks for that post. Excellent morning thoughts. I’m 59 and running daily. Currently using your half/ training for November. My sisters think I’m crazy but running is my thinking place. It’s where I go to “ hear”.

I truly love your almost daily e-mails, Terrell!

I'm currently not training for any race, though I do manage to keep up with your training program. I ran out of the one I was doing for the 10K and just fell into this one that you started on the Half Marathoner.

Yesterday was hot and dry, 84 degrees. Today, it is raining, which is a Godsend--everything was getting so dry the leaves on the trees were turning yellow and falling. (This is in Redmond, WA, where everyone thinks it is wet and cool all the time. . . and, Yes, indeed, I will get out for my 3 miles since I love running in the rain!)

Keep ferreting out the articles, videos, and commentary. Everything you post is so inspirational in one way or the other. It must take a lot of time and thought on your part to find the information, but rest assured, they are appreciated by this runner! I'm so glad to be part of this group. :)

Terrell, I really liked your post today. It sends a great message to follow your gut and do what motivates and drives you. Now, as far as the kinds of thoughts that go through your head while running vs my thoughts...today I wasn't thinking abstractly or so esoterically like you. I was thinking, "Holy crap is it humid, 2 more miles...holy #$%^ it's really humid, 1 more mile...thank you Lord I can see my driveway!" I do enjoy your posts and I like this virtual run group. Have a great day!!!

This is my second week. I love the emails you send; always inspiring. This one was awesome. I did have to forward it to my family as I wanted them to read your piece on The Calling of Voices. I am 61 and returning after an injury. Trying to find that "joy" again in running. Your posts are encouraging...thank you!

Hi, Terrell,

I love being part of the half marathon group! I like the thoughts shared and running goals lost/gained. I want to be that 93 year old lady waiting for the race to start one day! A little soul searching is good for the soul and for digestion and a good night 's sleep!

Keep it coming!!😊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Great words of wisdom today! For me, running and cycling are mental and emotional therapy that promote well-being.
