I too love Barbarian Days and I always love to see your references to it in the newsletter. You picked a great line to highlight today. Only with age and experience am I learning to accept and enjoy what each day of running brings.
Right on Kevin. So many parallels between surfing and running (especially trails!) and Finnegan writes about the experience and the feelings to beautifully.
Mario, really appreciate the callback to the Renkl essay on the dogs in her life and the hope they express. It's well-timed and reflects what I’m witnessing with my own dog George who’s battling health issues. Even on his hardest days when the side effects from treatments leave him tired and nauseous, he still greets me each morning with his tail wag and hopeful eyes believing that our next walk will bring amazing scents and that chicken drumstick which someone accidentally dropped.
Through this unwanted journey, George is showing me that dogs don’t hope despite their circumstances...they hope through them. George’s hope isn’t naive, it’s profound and rooted in finding reasons to believe in the small joys even when so many things feels uncertain.
I'm so glad that Tahoe also brings this to you and the family.
I love this Phil: "dogs don’t hope despite their circumstances...they hope through them." Man, we are so lucky to have dogs. I hope George is feeling better soon!
as always very well written...smoth as butter
Thank you!
Wow! That cover of Wish You Were Here — amazeballs. Never saw that coming from Fred Durst. Can’t get enough.
Right?! Pretty incredible, and significant given the context.

I agree on the wearables note!
