Babe, so proud to see you overcome these challenges and finish at 50-miler (and win!)!

Awesomeness Sandi, yes, congratulations on the 50 miler, I remember the video a couple of years ago, of you biking in the mountains, telling us the news of the archilles, and the doctors "recommendations" that you shoud stop running --- I recall your tears, - I'm sure with the recent events, you've shed more tears in life : BUT the important thing from this video, are NOT just the struggles in your race, your life, but it IS YOUR SMILE and YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE and YOU OVERCOMING that most effects me ---- wow, I so wish I could just hug you -- thank you for sharing your life with us --- you and Sage have a great Thanksgiving

Great job Woooo Hoooo!! Love seeing your comeback to racing! You rock!

[polargirl]

I have been following you and Sage for years and love everything you do. Absolutely love your channel Sandi, your beautiful personality shines through and I find you so listenable … genuine and just so ‘real’. I am about to purchase a training plan and maybe one day see you in chamonix. Best wishes to you both on your new adventures nearer the mountains…

Awesome job Sandi! So nice to see you being back to doing what you love after all you and Sage have been through the past year.

Congratulations, Sandi! After all the challenges that you and Sage had encountered earlier this year, I am so happy that you took a win, here! Great job!

Great job Sandi. Looked like a beautiful course and an amazing result!

[catherinekasmer]

Well done, Sandi! You are an inspiration. I love the training tips and especially the positive mind set info and also the plant- based info. Yours is my favorite channel. It’s helpful to watch the ups and downs of the running experience/lifestyle. Thanks again for putting out something helpful and positive in this world.

[bronconv]

Yay Sandi!!! It put a huge smile on my face seeing that you’re racing again and did so well. Thx for sharing!

[Extolguitarest]

Such a joy to see this race pop on Strava! It's great to see you enjoying running and racing, congrats!

[Jim-besj]

Wow. It's so great to see this. Your commitment to keeping a positive attitude in the face of adversity is inspiring.

Great race Sandi! Can you make a video specifically on relaxing the low back? I had a similar issue after being in a car for 8 hours and I ended up walking the last few miles of a half marathon due to low back pain.

[cpruns]

Really well done. To do that with all the mental challenges you have been put through is really inspirational. A lot of people I'm sure think running is just physical but it's so much more. Great job!

[sunnybeach]

Heck yeah Sandi! You look really strong, Stay strong 💪And have a great Thanksgiving and time off from running

[adramalech]

Congratulations on your race! 🎉 It looked really interesting terrain! You had the best crew to see you through to success! OMG, I learned a lot about traveling prior to an ultra at lake sonoma and that travel pre-race stress really caused some issues early on. I think planning an extra couple days prior will help a lot on my next destination race.

[JohnAnderson-kmfb]

You are such an inspiration! Love the life advice on benefit of positive mindset. Enjoy your holidays.
