Scotty. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family – we’re going through something similar right now. Tough times.
Don’t feel guilty for getting out and running – quite the opposite, it’ll help you manage your own stress and be a better support for your mum, your family and yourself.
I loved the URP episode about your comeback – and following on Strava… we’re all rooting for you in all your challenges ahead, on and off the trail.
I think it’s a miracle you decided to return to running at this time. My mom is battling leukemia and running (swimming and biking) has helped me so much. It’s my therapy. Knowing that she has to get up and fight everyday without a choice- puts everything in perspective. A hundred miles is easy compared to that? (We’ll sort of:))
Excited about following your journey. Everyone is pulling for you! You got this.
