Thank you for inspiring me to start the day by buying toe socks. Seriously, I needed them.

I have been a true believer since I got the worst blisters of my life in a race in 2019!

True story: I had Injinji toe sock PTSD stemming from the traumatic incident of pacing/crewing a guy who shall remain nameless at the 2017 Hardrock. He insisted that I lube and put on fresh toe socks on his toes at every aid station. It was the most weirdly subservient and disgusting thing I’ve ever had to do. Took me until 2025 to get over it and start using those socks.

I love a great name, and you have two in this week's newsletter. Audi Crooks, and Zoe Rom. The clip on Audi was heartfelt (and awesome). I have watched many of the Trailhead videos you and Zoe have done, I just love her energy!

glad you dug it! I have not been paying that much attention to college basketball, but Audi Crooks’s home court is about 45 minutes from my parents’ house! (and Zoë is such a blast)

John Craigie is a great musician and funny storyteller. I highly recommend his live album titled: Greatest Hits…Just Kidding…Live-No Hits

Audi is inspiring and a reminder that greatness comes in all shapes and sizes. Thanks for that! We could all be a little less judgy.
