Flan, I'm sorry that you and Lena are dealing with these struggles, but I'm glad you're sharing them here with this community you've built. I think sometimes we -- or at least I -- have a tendency to bury stuff rather than talking about it and addressing it head on. Your approach seems a lot healthier. Resilience is a good way to put it. Keep going. You're strong, and you have friends and family to help shoulder the load when you need an assist
Wow - this resonated with me. Thanks so much for sharing Paul. I sent a screenshot of one part to my wife and she responded with one word: "Tears". Things are hard - but Running Probably has been so important to us. Thanks for everything Paul. Hang in there.

I know its sort of cliche to say but hang in there. There are a few things that stick with me, always, from this newsletter it is this: 1) we are a community that supports each other. So, we've got you! and 2) (I took this most to heart from your posts about the Ultras you ran this year). As hard as it always seems, positivity is a difficult thing to find but life changing once you do. The hardest times are when we need it most.
Thanks Tracey. That's why I felt comfortable sharing these thoughts with all of you. Much better than faking my way through something I don't quite believe. Good run today, finally. Really helped.

Appreciate you, brother. We're making gnocchi tonight so things are definitely on the upswing

You too, Travis. Thanks for the note. It's so appreciated.

You're RESILIENT. You can do this.

Small victories aren’t so small. You and Mrs Flanns have a great team. Best team to have. 💪🏼
hope you're hanging in there, pal.
We are, thanks man. Just a tough stretch and then you bounce back.
