Thank you for the kind mention! I’m passionate about encouraging others to start writing as well. For me, this running community thrives on its stories, and I believe those stories deserve to be shared far and wide. There’s no such thing as “good” or “bad” writing, nor “exciting” or “boring” stories—whatever you write from the heart has value and a rightful place in the world.
Thanks for the link to my newsletter. As someone who recalls when blogging was in its heyday in the early 2000s, I love the renaissance of writing on this platform. It's great you're encouraging others to, too.
It is reminiscent of early blogging, with a double-shot of network effect. I remember being so awestruck back then, that you could build an audience of strangers who would support not only your writing... but also your life.
An Ursula K. LeGuin quote (via Jenny Odell in "How to Do Nothing"): “The explorer who will not come back or send back his ships to tell his tale is not an explorer, only an adventurer.”
Yes. This speaks to me. I searched the whole quote and I love the next bit, too: "and his sons are born in exile." What we hoard to ourselves, we keep from our children.
Woah! You excited me to my bones! Thank you ☀️

Everyone in the pool (cold plunge?). It's a party!

The perfect reminder for anyone pursuing their own creative endeavor. ❤️
I think of feet kicked up on kayaks. The Whitefish River. Slowly drifting on a sunny summer day. You can't force the river to flow faster.

Killer post, Mike. Filled me with energy and left me motivated to pour more of myself into The Ultra Minute. Thanks for the book recs, too!
Honored to be listed among those writers (and runners!), btw. Very cool 🫶
Keep on keepin' on! I'm enjoying what you're creating.
I like reading yours
