It was also cool in the early days, because there was a small cycling blogging community. We'd all stop at each other's blogs each day and leave a comment. I got to know most of these people better than I did my own neighbors. Much different today with a wide audience, and knowing that the local newspaper might run one of my stories. I always pick my words and sentences carefully now. Not too many have stuck with it, and Facebook has made it way too easy to slack off.

You don't know me but I feel ...Thank you Jill! You don't know me but I feel I know you better than I know most (any?) of my (other?) friends. After reading your books (at least twice) I decided to go on my first multi-day bike ride since I was 14 (i.e. 30 years ago). As I read much of your blog I began to lose weight. During a business trip to San Francisco I was compelled to rent a mountain bike one afternoon to ride up Mt. Tam and through the Marin Headlands. I remember thinking "this could be the fire road where Jill had her accident before the TD." Then I enrolled in my first 12-hour bike race, bike-packed the Maah-Daah-Hey trail, and started trail running. Coincidence? I think not.<br /><br />I bought your new book last night and am loving it too. Who knows what it will inspire me to do next... :-) Anyway, whatever you publish in the future - please know you can count me in!

I'm reading the current posts as they're made, and I'm also reading old posts, working my way from the start. I'm now at December 2007 in that process. (Actually I first went back and found and read the Tour Divide posts, and then decided that I liked your blog enough to read the whole thing.)<br /><br />So anyway, forgive me if I don't buy the new book, since it's a subset of what I'm reading anyway.

I remember that, but not when it was. Go figure! <br /><br />Wanted to mention that your biography on Amazon says: "She currently works as a magazine editor in Missoula, Montana." as the last sentence. Figured you might want to update it. :) <br /><br />Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-87651818416023543552012-09-26T13:59:38.802-06:002012-09-26T13:59:38.802-06:00Everything Undersharing said.

You probably don't remember this, but you were one of the readers who donated a few dollars to my sponsored miles Susitna 100 fundraising effort back in December 2005. I admit that whole thing was silly but it really spurred me toward both training and committing to that race, which changed my life in so many good ways. Plus I was able to donate about $300 to Livestrong. So thank you! I'm glad you're still around. <br />Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-23986116624704587142012-09-26T07:58:02.613-06:002012-09-26T07:58:02.613-06:00Awesome!

Reading your blog over all these years (I think I've been looking for 4? 5? who knows? years) has helped shape my hopes and adventures as a person, right along with Kent Petersen and Catra Corbett. <br /><br />You've always managed to write in such a way that I feel like I should go out there and do something no one has done before, and I have done some of that. I read portions out to my friends, and I read Be Brave, Be Strong at least 3 times cover-to-digital-cover when I was working on a particularly difficult project in Chile. <br /><br />Your adventures have inspired me through so many stages of my life- hopeful, married, divorced, working in a tech startup, working for a big company, living in Austin, living in Boston entirely too long, living in Santiago, Chile, now living in Sydney, biking, running, joining an amateur circus- all of this and it's all still relevant. I wish I could fly around the world and hand you a bag of peanut butter cups along a trail somewhere, because I owe a lot of this adventure to reading your stuff. Thank you. kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956361949527572878noreply@blogger.com
