Seth, nice Vlog. I'm 71 and last year I lost my way in running. A time of introspection. I began to hate doing the long runs. My long runs got shorter, rarely over six miles. I asked the same question, "Will I ever race again?" I faltered in the Cooper River Bridge Run. And I knew what the problem was; the long run and winter, the snow, the cold, the lack of sun, the impossible to run muddy trails. All of it ganged up on my enjoyment of running. Reset. What worked in the past? Running every other day and being OK if I miss a day here and there. Fun Runs; days when I stop and talk to the birders, the fishermen, and the gold panners along Clear Creek. I'm Back! Tomorrow I will run the Hayden Cog Run.. I'm excited. It should be fun. Have a great day.

After being diagnosed with cancer two months ago, everything has changed for me. And not all for the worst. It’s opened my eyes to what In life is really important. It’s not running, racing, sports ect. It’s family friends , kids, life itself! I strive everyday to get back to where I was in my training and racing life but may never get there but, that’s alright. A whole new world has open to me. Keep fighting keep striving, never stop!

Yesterday I ran with a 77 year old man that had hip surgery in August of 2023. He's back! Screws were taken out 4 weeks ago. He just signed up for a 10K. Good Luck coming back. If a 77 year old can, so can you!

For me this channel is not about your racing. It's to follow you, your family and your training. So keep training and taking care of your family :)

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Appreciate this!

[@meredithjones8593]

You don’t have to be worried about disappointing the viewership. It’s your life to live and it sounds like you guys have been through a lot in the past few months. We do miss getting to see you on a daily basis but do what you need to do. Lots of running still to come I’m sure.

[@gerriscorp]

True!

[@tomcat1319]

Bingo!!! Life is too short to worry about that stuff. Sure a ton of videos, but his whole life revolved around making videos, editing and shoe reviews. Enjoy life and the journey! We always are grateful for what Seth did and will continue to do. Life just happens!!!

[@annestrock4917]

I still can't fathom that you uploaded everyday while running huge volume and parenting little ones! I didn't run from age 25 until age 40 because my little ones took priority( my oldest was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 4) . Now at age 60, I can look back and be thankful for the difficult times and appreciate how they have molded me.

[@tomcat1319]

Ditto!!! I turn 61 in 3 weeks. I enjoy learning more about running each day. It's an addiction of Life!

[@mgm153]

@@tomcat1319 You guys are inspiring me. I have two little ones (4.5 and 9). I just would rather spend time with them when not working. I am hoping that in a couple of years that they want to start getting out a bit. I am about to be 47 and am getting really anxious. I only run or go to the gym a couple of times a wk. I always day dream about getting back into it. I just miss it.

[@marlinweekley51]

I ran my first 5k in 1983 2 weeks before our first child was born. I was 32. Life got super busy with family and career. I ran my second 5k 31 years later. Iam 72 now have run many many marathons (Boston x3, NY, Chicago, Pikes Peak, Leadville etc etc) and many trail ultras and even set a few multi day fkts. So much fun. But Don’t be afraid of a break - take care of your health and running will be there.

[@philippegagne268]

All good Seth, we are here to support. Life gets busy for me with 3 kids so I can only imagine with 6!! Onward and Upward 💪 I missed the London lottery for next year unfortunately. Hopefully I’ll be able to get in to Berlin or Tokyo next year. I might be 70 when I’ll finish the 6 world majors but this is life!!!

[@UltraDad]

Second! Seth, we are here for you man! It’s been a bumpy ride for my running the past several years but like you said it’s always there. 100 miles a week is insane…congrats. Prayers headed your way for whatever challenges there have been!

[@user-zy1ki3rv5i]

Um his viewership is definitely leaving. This channel is a ghost of itself. His heart isn't in it anymore. It's clearly a pain for him to create content. His life might be better if he shut the whole thing down and found something else he was actually passionate about.

[@williambaird24]

I took 3 years off from racing. I was so burnt out after college, and running wasn't the same. I'll be 31 soon, and I'll never be in that kind of shape ever again, especially because i work full time. I decided to run a half marathon (colfax half, denver) as a way to stay motivated to work out. The biggest exercise has been in humility. The change of mindset from trying to win races to having fun. Its been a struggle but ive grown a lot

[@Mike-cs9jr]

It's great that you think in terms of your running in decades. Life is life and we all have our separate paths and we do the best that we can so don't let anyone's comment pull your thoughts away from doing what is best for you and your family. Congrats by the way on the new additions. That's joyous news in itself! As an "older" running, late 50s I certainly have those thoughts from time to time about whether I want to continue doing marathons or heck, even just racing anymore. It's part of the process and at the end of the day as long as we're able to just get out there and feel good about the fact that we're blessed to have running as our passion, we can't really ask for too much more. Keep on keeping on Seth. It's been a fun ride so far.

[@iwrestle04]

Mate, do your thing. Your vlog helped keep many of us sane during COVID and got us/me moving on more than one occasion when it was all getting a bit much. A few shoe reviews, a few updates on the runs you're doing, all is good here. Family first, always, though. You're doing good things, keep on doing good things!

[@markmosca2526]

Congratulations on running 100 miles per week! That’s huge! We miss seeing you race but we love seeing the journey! I’ve been on the same boat, I got injured too and had life stuff happen. Finally aiming for my next race after 2 very long years. It’s been a struggle balancing life and running and the injuries. Keep up the great work Seth! You have changed all of our lives with such positivity and inspiration. Watching you recover from your injuries and get back to running helped me push through mine.

It sounds like you have your priorities right brother. Keep on keeping the first things first. You’re an inspiration! I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been wanting to run my first marathon for 2 years now. I got my long run up to 20 miles but I changed careers and moved my family to a different country so I just haven’t had the bandwidth to set a race but it is in my future someday!

[@thesceptic1018]

Well very few people in these races are racing against anything other than their own best time - long live recreational running

[@thirdculturemama]

Hey Seth, so great to see you here. Thank you for this video. It's not daily anymore, but it's probably healthier all around. Life is greater than an existence to please the socials. You're not accountable to people on the internet. You're not disappointing anyone. Keep those priorities straight. Life is fleeting. You have one family to nurture and love, beauty to seek, and joy to find in running. All this will pass and you will wonder why you kept trying to please random strangers (even if we are nice) on the net.

[@georgesoto5436]

Agree with you Seth on the overall runners comments, but it was the training + the amazing shoe reviews that kept me tuning back in to your channel. Hope you and the family enjoy that vacation!!!

[@SGEnemark]

I have been out of running for 9 months, after almost 18 years of running without breaks! With my first run one and a half weeks ago! It's crazy how your self-view as a runner is hard to keep, with gaining almost 26 kilos in two years in the struggle up to the break. It's so hard to get back into it after life circumstances of kids etc. But as you said here, YES I WILL RACE AGAIN, but life comes first. And no, you do not disappoint! You have always been open and honest here and that's why we keep following your YT! So keep it up and H5 From Denmark. :) Let's get back into shape again together! I lost 11,5 kilos already and am on track with coming back! Keep it Going Seth!

Cheering ya on from afar!!! Yes, we all go through seasons that perhaps force running(or races) to take a back burner for a bit. I’m currently in that season myself with a new job. BUT, it’s always on my mind and I get in my runs when I can. As you said, running will be there. Gotta make sure the family is taken care of first. Keep up the great work Seth!🎉

[@ckokomo808]

Hey Seth - I’ve been a follower for a while now and want to thank you for your community, lessens, and sharing who you are with is. I’m currently 30 and have been running since I was 12. I ran in grade school, high school, and college. I stopped during my junior year - I realized I wasn’t enjoying it but even more than that it was consuming my life in a negative way. I stepped away and didn’t know if I’d ever run again. I started cycling long distances and loved that. I also started living my life. After about 4 years of not running, I had the itch again. I started slow and easy with no goals in mind. I let Running guide me instead of me force the Running. It’s been 4 years and I’m happy, healthy, and training for ultras. Reflecting on this, i do my best to take a step back and see the longer view of time. Me stopping running for 4 years has allowed me to continue running (hopefully) well into my future years. Wishing you the best in whatever you discern 🙏💚

[@MortenRommedahl]

Nah man... you ain't disappointing. You're awesome. 😀

Last 12 months has been rough for me last year my mother was diagnosed with cancer I was her care giver and that took all my free time away. I ran 2-3 times a week. In May I ran a marathon in honor of her knowing her time is limited, I tried matching her pain by running with no training and I did. That took a lot out of me due to the race followed by her death in August. So, this year I’m just running enjoying my wife and kids and thinking about good the times. At some point I will run a race again but for now I’ll chill. Thanks for the encouragement, Seth. Grieving sucks!!

QOD: The year after I PR’d my marathon in Victoria BC about two years ago I did a personal check in for racing and training. I loved the structure I had for that time, but the cost was taken from my personal life and personal relationships. I’ve since taken the summers off racing, and spend that time instead with those close to me be it friends for family. Plus I do a lot more hiking in that season and doing things that bring joy to my life.

It's your journey! I took 22 years off from running marathons (age 38-60) because of life. I was still running, just not racing marathons. Since 60 I have run 15 marathons (more than I did prior to my long sabbatical) and just turned 70 and have 5 more on the books this year alone. I am not suggesting to anyone that they should do what I did, only that it really is never too late as long as you maintain your health and have the determination and desire. Embrace your time with your kids and wife, you don't get do overs on that. You have plenty of time and no one to answer to other than yourself.
