Great read Scott! It seems like forever ago when you shut down what was probably the most popular running blog. See you in Boston, I hope - but not at Taco Bell!

Great to hear from you, Gary! Let's definitely connect in Boston. I see you are still clocking fast times!

Beautiful write-up of dual struggles and the refuelable drives behind them. America will always be more than the person in the oval office and your parents will always applaud any move towards home.

Also I just shared your piece because it hit me that a new generation of runners/athletes should discover your race/life reports :-)

Loved this Scott.

Love your description of both Dubia (I have not been) and Singapore (was there in 1998). So glad you recalibrated on the run. Life is too important to let it fly by untended. On the whole, you are more a beacon to emulate than a cautionary tale, but we all fall into the trap sometimes. Glad you are finding your way out.

I didn't realize you had a connection to Santa Barbara. Both my daughters are at UCSB. If you find yourself there again, let me know. Perhaps I will be there at the same time. You can get a short recover run in while I get a longer pace run in and we can catch up.
