Synopsis
"A refreshingly frank book about the marathon trainer’s mindset." -Kirkus Reviews
"Was running a marathon with my wife a smart idea? Certainly not. We had two kids under the age of three and demanding jobs in tech. However, being smart was not my main concern. In our 4-year marriage, she'd been a rock. She nursed me through leukemia. She picked me up from rehab and drove me to AA. Now, she wanted to run the Disney Marathon. So be it. I signed up like two sports bras, extra supportive!"
Looks Like We're Running is a humorous story about failing badly and getting better. Can running save a person's life? Can it improve a marriage? Overcome an addiction? Each year, nearly 16 million Americans attempt a marathon. Nearly every one of them is just a regular person fighting to discover a better version of themself. Looks Like We're Running is for that person. It was written by that person. This book contains guidance on training, gear, nutrition and recovery, but most importantly, it is a testimony of the marathon's number one lesson: How to keep going.
Dustin Riedesel first attempted running three months after completing chemotherapy for leukemia. He started running seriously eight months later while in a rehab facility for alcohol abuse. Since running began, he lost weight, improved his marriage and friendships, earned freedom from addiction, had two children, bought a new home, received a promotion at work, and finally, wrote this book to serve as a companion for anyone seeking similar outcomes in their life.
Can moving your body for extended periods of time really give you all that? There's one sure-fire way to find out. Put on some shoes. Get out the door. Looks like you're running.
