"I'm not going to offer gauzy parables about inspiration and belief. I'm not going to promise you that if you want to achieve your dream, all you need is faith. No, I am going to show you -- in concrete terms -- how I transformed myself from the inside out and how you can too. Whether you're a marathoner or weekend jogger, swimmer or cyclist, young or old, fit or fat, you can do this. I know because I did it.
The story of my life is going to sound very familiar. Not in the details . . . but in the desire. It's the tale of everyone who has ever felt stuck, of anyone who has dreamed of doing more, of being more.
I was stuck like that a few years ago in one of the lowest, hottest spots on the planet. That's where I'll start my story. That's where I'll start your story."

Thanks for the link, Karen. I am not a runner but I will still check him out.

Truthfully, neither am I. But the book is quite inspiring, as is hearing directly from a man as to what possesses him to run 100 mile races. Definitely check it out.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way…Scott Jurek is a vegan ultra marathon runner. There are recipes in the book are quite outstanding.
