It means a lot to me to know that you guys have gotten something out of reading along. Nearly every day I write a blog post in my head, but just don't find the time to write it down. Maybe now that the PhD is done- I hope! I certainly miss the community of people I have gotten to know through blogging.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-80227846667318278742014-09-03T01:18:13.345+02:002014-09-03T01:18:13.345+02:00Tracy your blog made such a difference in my life,...Tracy your blog made such a difference in my life, I couldn't begin to explain.

I like that some of the quality, thoughtful blogs (like yours, Mary's, Steve Q's, and Jill's) still remain. Without writers like them, I'd likely give up reading blogs altogether.<br /><br />I'm also one of those under-30 bloggers, for another couple months at least.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-12517489051847904322014-05-27T05:40:41.421+02:002014-05-27T05:40:41.421+02:00I've been blogging for five years and when I d...I've been blogging for five years and when I don't get comments, I sometimes wonder why I don't just keep a paper journal. It shouldn't be about comments, but sometimes it is, for me anyway, to know I have touched someone enough to write and get past the spambot.

Seems to me that many of the "quality" blogs stayed, and social media gives all of us an outlet for musings and news items, leaving blogs more focused.

Less interesting, but less of a risk. Out of some antiquated sense of privacy, I keep the messy details offline (though my Facebook stream is probably 50/50 running and Outrageous Things My Children Said).<br /><br />I hope to keep reading your insights, updates, and little triumphs well into the future!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582049406998358870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-83956728793759054192014-05-20T17:34:54.471+02:002014-05-20T17:34:54.471+02:00My comment about blogs came from the sudden realiz...My comment about blogs came from the sudden realization that I was no longer cool enough not to care what was cool, hearing people half my age talk about things I'd never heard of in terms I didn't know. <br /><br />I'm sure those under 30 have some way of expressing themselves in more than 140 characters - I just don't know what it is.<br /><br />I think it's been 7 years since you've mentioned "St. Paul."

As far as "no bloggers under 30" - I say there are simply practically no bloggers, period, some keep short posts akin to FB, some new runners entering scene post race reports... but I am with you, no FB can ever have enough space to put down so many thoughts that we try to organize in our heads. Sadly, the comment section is so silent, while writing still draws me in, it is discouraging to not have a dialog...Yes, you're guilty as well, girl!

I've really enjoyed your blog, your travels and abilities evolve, you are a very intersting and intelligent oerson. I've particularly enjoyed the mix of scientific and family posts....as seven years often signifies a major new evolution or transition, I wonder where we will see you gravitate towards next??cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.com
