I will never truly understand why you take the risks you do, but I know how much you think about and feel what you do! Rock on, Jill....we are growing old together, methinks! Hey, really loved all your photos from the last race. Don't know how you took so many under those conditions...esp. the very dark ones. Really good stuff!!!<br />Julie in AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047093484571413059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-27259711513517271532013-08-30T22:09:16.597-06:002013-08-30T22:09:16.597-06:00I have been following since Up in Alaska.

Thank you for continuing to write throughout the ups and downs,the trolls, and the silence of lurkers like me who seldom comment but who really do appreciate your words and images.

I'm twice your age, and you have inspired me more than anyone else ever has. After reading all of your books and blogs, I invested in a recumbent trike, and have ridden 2000 miles on rail trails this summer.<br /><br />Have a great week.

This looks like the perfect ...Happy Birthday Jill!<br /><br />This looks like the perfect nutty thing for you to do this year :-). The Google Earth flyover of the course in those French Alps shows an absolute gorgeous mountainscape! The PTL sounds no muss no fuss, comparatively speaking.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing these "physical endeavors that shove all common sense aside", and for all the posts in between. You do a very nice job of balancing journalistic professionalism and personal experience and your writing skills and photography have kept me coming back for years now. I cannot see you turning off this outlet for years to come so I guess we are going to be long-term virtual friends JH.AucillaSinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085072007329506260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-6703749394451843192013-08-25T09:07:47.657-06:002013-08-25T09:07:47.657-06:00Have a great time both of you!

I signed up for my first Ironman triathlon having never run a 5k (I was a swimmer & recreational cyclist). In October I'm attempting the Presidential Traverse, never having done any serious mountain hiking before. I'm pretty sure I have the fitness, but my balance and steep up & down hiking strength will be tested. I'm trying to keep a mindset that it will be a long day of low HR training for the NY Marathon in November. I'm not entirely convinced that will be the case. tri.bassetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015155941495448201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-11646445275083102412013-08-24T11:49:58.759-06:002013-08-24T11:49:58.759-06:00More specific tracking links:

I'll be getting in Monday, but heading over to Val Ferret near Courmayeur for a couple of days to chill. Hope to see you afterwards to have a celebratory beverage. Enjoy the journey!
