Devon, it'll be 18 years ago in early February when I first saw you run, at the Jed Smith Ultras at Gibson Ranch -- I've told you this story before, how you lapped me a couple of times as you ran the 50K that day and I was running the 50M. It was obvious then, and remains true today, that you truly are a singular presence -- as a runner, as a thinker, as a human being. Whatever you have to say, whether it's less or more, is always extremely meaningful. Thanks, as always, for sharing, and know that I couldn't agree more with how everything that seems "new" today also feels awfully familiar for those who have been around for a while. Olga King pretty much nails it with her comment to you here -- "Keep doing your thing." And thanks for always doing your thing.
Absolute Preaching!! Thanks for writing this. Couldn’t define more exactly how I feel about the trajectory of the running world now being apart of it for 15 years here in Scotland. Major resonation with this. Just turning down all the noise around and opens up a whole new view on the world again!
Sometimes I say "It ain't rocket science, been done before, nothing changed", but more often and likely, just quietly sit and do my thing. Keep doing your thing, girl.

Just do you, boo boo!
I just want to say you got me on Substack. Thanks for that, and also you’re so inspiring.
Thank you. I really resonate with your writing.
I had similar experiences as a child, and my propensity to over share as an adult is definitely a trauma response 🙏🏻
