    Good luck on this next adventure. What a great place to train. I'm the assisted director of The Nike Smokey Mountain Running Camp and we had 600 high school campers this summer, and they talk about your channel and love it. You are really making a positive impact. Ryan Van Duzer has a great YT channel and may be a good contact in Boulder.

    Good luck, Allie O and Spencer (and Georgie, of course) in your new home and training setting. Boulder is a great place and there is much to explore. Thanks for keeping all your followers up to date on the move and your life. You are an inspiration even to me, this 63 year old lifelong runner and marathoner. I don't run nearly as quickly as I used to, but I just can't stop running and training for marathons every year. Your channel is one that helps to keep me going.

    Its very nourishing for many of us "humans", to follow journeys like the three of you are experiencing (dogs are beings). It confirms the sense of what life is which is a series of experiences to explore our capacity and curiosity. Growth and change are rewards for the lived experience. Thank you for bringing us along. It takes a lot of emotional energy to create these social media episodes. We hope you get a strong sense of community from us out here in "Utubeville" as you head into this chapter. Props to the pa for driving that moving truck. Thats fatherly love.❤🎉

    I’m a 43 year old man. I am not even a runner! I have been in bed suffering from anxiety for the last year. I have stopped working out and stopped leaving the house. During this year, I have started following running. I find it motivating to see what others can do, and it makes me start thinking I can do it too.
    Your videos calm me down. They make me remember what life was like before this illness. They make me realize that you can do what is good for you despite troubles and despite voices that tell you you can’t.
    I am still stuck in bed and would love to say your videos make me get up and start being active again. I am not there yet. But I wanted to tell you know appreciate what you’re doing and going through and that you have brought me some calm.

  • @davidand36
    @davidand36 Месяц назад

    A personal note: I started following you when I was still in the Seattle area and you were one of the local heroes. A couple years ago I moved to İstanbul and it's been fun to see you and Spence in some of my old haunts: the occasional (for me) loops around Green Lake, Bill Roe All-Comers meets in Shoreline, the Perrigo and Renton Parkruns, etc. But now that you are going to enjoy the high life, I look forward to your new adventures.
    One suggestion: After you missed out on this year's Olympics, you talked about preparing for the 2028 games. But World Athletics Championships are every year and also a very important part of the sport. Don't get rusty on those steeplechase barriers.

    Smart move. My wife and I had nine good years in Seattle before retiring and moving to Thailand. Like you and Spencer, we were definitely ready to get out of there, but once in awhile I remember the occasional sunny day in August when the weather was perfect. Winter in Boulder will get old fast, too, but you're from Alaska, so it shouldn't be too bad for you. Enjoy that dry desert air and the altitude. On to better things!

    I’m currently taking a road trip up the west coast. The plan is San Diego to Seattle, but don’t know how far I’ll make it. (I’m from Texas and started there last weekend). Not in a hurry at all and plan on doing a lot more hiking.
    Enjoyed the video as always; keep shining.
