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
