Aw, Shucks

Aw, Shucks

Jul 27, 2017

We get a lot of really nice reviews here at Run the Alps.

Then, every now and then, we get a letter like this one — something that just stops us in our trail running shoes and reminds us why we love this work.

Shannon, thanks. (And — oh! — read on for Simon’s response, below! You knew that would be coming, right?)

By the way, about those stains on the paper: they’re genuine olive oil from lunch in Chamonix.

And, Simon’s reply:

Can you tell we love trail running with you all? We sure do.
