I think this book was mentioned in another I read about running. It tells about the authors journey through alcoholism and running as a means of healing. The book tells about different races he ran while also telling personal stories from his past. Enjoyable read.

From the copy, I expected a slightly philosophical view of running and exercise on mental health. I didn't expect it to be one of the most inspiring books I've read about the holy trinity of running, recovery, and redemption.

"If something was within reach, reach for it. Or else, what was the point? That was who I was now."
