Hey James my name is Rob Jensen and I just wanted to say that I love your podcast! I heard about you through the pikes peak ascent and marathon. I signed up this year and this is the first ever extreme race for me. I have always been into the outdoors and exercise. I am a pediatric and psychiatric nurse practitioner and tell my patients all the time how important it is to get outside and to move our bodies. There are so many physical and mental benefits of exercise. I hope I can use this experience to be a good example to my patients and my family about the importance of taking care of our brains and bodies. Keep up the good work brother! I will be picking up my bib tomorrow (Friday) between 4-5 and if I see you there I’ll try and say hi 👍
