Hi Doc! Your comments are closed for your recent posts but I wanted to say congratulations on Wineglass, and I LOVE Murphy! How did you make him? I’m not too crafty but would love to build something like that for my medals as well.

Re: Your inspiration post
Ugh, I felt the same way about marathons when I got into my 30s. Now it’s just a matter of cranking them out instead of going for a challenge. It’s definitely not as exciting to toe the starting line knowing that you WILL finish the race… it’s just a matter of when. I prefer the challenge of wondering if you’re up to it.
