    I'll give it a shot, but I feel like this is also a recipe for pooping your pants on a run. I like to live dangerously.

    SUBBED. BECAUSE I SAW YOUR INTERVIEW IN FLORIS GEHRMAN'S PAGE. Thank you so much Brendan. Your interview is by far the most HUMAN compared all these running channels that I have seen on here... with all the STATS, PRs, Physiological Hacks, Overdosing on Maurten Gels before a 5k. Etc. You bring back How Running should be fundamentally FUN

    Genuinely, thank you for all the effort you put into Thursday posts! And those weeks where there are lots of panels are extra special (like this week). I can imagine you might occasionally question the 'return' on the time spent on them. Add one very happy person to the pile (which I suspect is a fairly big pile of beings).

  • @a.b.7414

    I’ve read that writing by hand engages different neuron circuits than typing. Anything that engages any part of my brain in a new or different way is a good thing after chunks of it were destroyed by chemo, so I hand write and draw in my journals - even if I can’t read my own writing later sometimes. I have Procreate and I find it very frustrating and it never occurred to me to try handwriting with it so that’s something new to try. I agree with the “love the sharing of the process” comments!

  • @BryanSchaeffer406
    @BryanSchaeffer406 4 місяці тому

    Thanks for sharing your process, good stuff! Handwritten triggers a different part of the brain, I've heard. The same reason I still draw my animations starting with pencil and paper.

    The first writing I was ever paid for was independent comic books. And as cool as it was seeing scripts illustrated, lettering brought it all together. I'm still friends with some letterers after almost 35 years, and I always appreciate and love your lettered bits on Instagram and Outside.

    Loved this interview: fun insightful questions, great thoughtful answers. What a good guy. My favorite reply: "Those are the distances that mean I can go a little bit slower and be out a little bit longer, and that’s the type of stuff I enjoy." As an older runner who switched from road to trail a couple years ago, this is exactly how I feel. I want to be outside enjoying nature as long as possible. Thanks for this!

    This was amazing and I get exactly what you shared about relationships. Your choice of background music and your storytelling skills are fantastic. When you move that desk in, and she reaches out to your elbow and looks at you with that smile on her face shows how much she loves you, and that she knows how much you love her.

    When you love someone you find yourself doing all sorts of laborious tasks just waiting for them to say they love them. I’ve been married for 49 years I know a few things.
