If you’re joining us for the first time— Welcome. We’re so glad you’re here. Feel free to start at the beginning of the story: HERE to catch up.
We begin today's episode with part 6th of the JFK 50-mile race...
The gurgle in my stomach intensified, and the raw blisters on my feet throbbed with each step. Are you still running?
My coach's voice echoed in my mind: "It comes in waves."
His wisdom always steadied me, even now when my body screamed to stop...
Listen in for the rest of the story.
Holiday Run to Write Schedule:
I’ll post the last part of the race on the Towpath on Monday 12/23 then I’m taking some time off to be with family and friends for Christmas. I’ll return to your inbox on January 6th to resume the JFK 50-mile story.
We have one more write together scheduled for this Monday 12/23 at 11 am (EST) and I’ll see if I can get a sub for 12/30 if not I’ll see you back in our Zoom room on 1/6/25.
May your holiday season be filled with light, love, and lots of laughter! Thank you so much for allowing me space in your inbox. I’m very grateful you're here with me.
Keep moving and writing! Onward!
God Bless,
Julie

Part 4 of the JEFK 50 miler story continues...
I forgot to mention that a train crosses the course in the middle of the race. Yeah right, you’re kidding? That’s exactly what I said.
I first heard about the train in the book: The Longest Race by Ed Ayres. It must be a joke. There’s no way the train still passes through.

Welcome new subscribers and listeners to Run to Write— where movement and writing meet— every Monday at 11 am (EST) in our Zoom room (link below) and/or offline in person at our local coffee shop: Freedom of Espresso.
In this episode:
I reflect on overcoming self-doubt and "mom guilt" to pursue a 50-mile ultramarathon, proving that with support and proper training, ambitious goals are achievable regardless of life's responsibilities.
I'm dedicating each mile to cancer warriors and seeking names to honor in my remaining 9 miles.

Thank you Run to Write Community for your prayers and support of my sister Becky and her family. They've faced significant challenges this past week. However, they have wonderful news: their sweet baby girl—Alice Marie (Ali) is here! Her arrival has brought much needed happiness and light.
Unfortunately, Becky and her family are currently unable to return to their home and may face a lengthy process before they can do so. We would appreciate your continued prayers for guidance and clarity as they navigate this situation.

“Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. … If you take Resistance at its word, you deserve everything you get. Resistance is always lying and always full of s**t.”

Julie
