Sandra Richmond (Author)
Milepost 75 tells the story of the events and adventures Sandra planned to accomplish to celebrate during the year she turned 75. She considers herself a late starter at almost everything. Her memoir begins with stories of how she began her active lifestyle in her mid-40’s by tackling several astonishing Grand Canyon hikes. Creating unique and precious memories, Sandra has completed several hikes and events with every member of her family. She also describes how, at age 70, she incorporated adventure travel into her post-retirement life. This has led to several challenging treks including the Inca Trail in Peru and the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Despite having arthritis, atrial fibrillation, spinal stenosis, and joint replacement surgeries in both hips and knees, she has slow-walked several marathons, half marathons, 50, 15, 10, and 5Ks, supporting worthy causes and happily encouraging others to join her always walking, never running. Winning events has never been her goal. Her goals in events and even in her daily walks are to move in nature, notice its beauty, and connect with others - even just a wave or smile.Having recently turned 80 years old, Sandra just published her first book, demonstrating that it’s never too late. And if she heals a bit more from her recent spinal fusion surgery, she will start training for another Grand Canyon hike. She continues to move forward, slow and steady, every day, not only along trails but also in life.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

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. ”Joseph Grenny, NYTs best-selling co-author of Crucial Conversations and Crucial Influence.
