But, uh, so can you give a glimpse of what you hope that chapter to be like?

Sure.

I mean, I'm 40, right? So it feels like there, I hope there's a lot more chapters.

And I think that I'm at this place in life where I, I, I, well, there will, well, hopefully if I keep living, then, um, I think that you realize that there's going to be challenges and almost it's like, okay, I'm here for the whole human experience here.

So there's going to be big life curveballs that are being thrown at me.

But if I'm still living, I have the opportunity to grow through them and to learn through those.

And to try and think of every high and low as just a part of that human experience.

um maybe how do

Take, for instance, Katie Adsmith's walk-up song, Walking on a Dream, and how it captures both appreciation and hype.

That for me is because I think it's really a dream to be able to get to every start line.

So when you show up and you have your walk on song, it does feel like pinch me moments every time you toe a line.

Like what we go through to get to a toe line.

Like that is, it's a lot of training and sacrifice and dedication and all these things.

And it just, it's a privilege to be able to get there.

And yeah, it's full of gratitude to be able to show up healthy enough to race.

Who, who's next on this? Katie?

Sure.

I was...

I'm going a completely different angle here.

I'm thinking about how maybe all, but I guess I'm gonna speak for professional runners, are being more deliberate about the races that they are signing up for.

When you look at your race calendar, it feels as if there's been a change this year, and one of the themes of this year, well, of course, when you think about Ruth Croft, for instance, won UTMB, and she was very deliberate about the training for UTMB, going all in on UTMB, and sure, she had a couple other races, but it was about, all about leading up to UTMB.

And that did sort of, these big performances trickle down in our sport, [lips smack] um, especially in the professional mindset about how much you have to be deliberate about the races that you sign up for and how much you're spreading yourself too thin across the whole year in your season.

Um, tell us a little bit about the, the, the, this, uh, women's fund, Trail Running Fund.
