From Marathon to Couch Potato (And Back)


 

Coming Soon!

My 13-year-saga to complete a marathon. If you read this blog—perhaps one person does regularly—then you know my story.  But for the benefit of distance runners and the general public I am chronicling my fall and rise from a man training to qualify for the Boston Marathon to a broken specimen informed that he will never run again to man in his late-60s training for 26.2.

Out by Christmas in non-fiction ebook form? We shall see. I'll know more after I finish collating years worth of notes. 

The question arises: who cares? Could be most people. But I'm hoping anyone facing long odds will find hope in this brief tale.

Yaaaay! Sign me up for a copy as soon as it's available! While I don't understand the idea of wanting/ needing to RUN, I can relate to the need to accomplish something. Especially if you're told, "Give it up!" The journey TO the marathon is almost as grueling as the run itself. And you triumphed BOTH times! Now all you have to do is WRITE about it!

Go, man, go!

Thanks, Johanna.

An abundance of material for me to collate, but it makes the writing easier.
