Publisher's Synopsis
PRAISE FOR MILEPOST 75...
"Milepost 75 is part memoir, part travel guide, and part cheerleader. In it, Sandra Richmond talks about staying physically active as age overtakes us, but also about staying mentally and emotionally open to new experiences that age and wisdom provide. Sandra doesn't tell us what to do, or how to do it, but quietly encourages us to ask, 'Why not try it? It might be fun.' This is a book about inspiration that inspires, about learning that teaches, about pushing through fear that morphs into quiet courage. It is at once a master class on aging and a celebration of a life fully lived."Melissa Bowersock, award-winning author of multiple novels including Ghost Walk and Hopi Walk "In Milepost 75, Sandra Richmond describes a life full of purpose, friendship, and physical adventure that doesn't involve chasing championships but rather the simple pleasures of experiencing the world in motion, even with four artificial joints and a late start in the world of endurance hikes and marathons. To finish in the middle of the pack, or even dragging up last, is to finish with honor. We can all learn from Sandra's example."
Tom Zoellner, author of Rim to River: Looking Into the Heart of Arizona "Through generous vulnerability, wit, and wisdom, Sandra Richmond leads us to richer living, deeper intimacy, and enduring hope. More than a book, Milepost 75 is loving mentoring in living well."
