Summary
Marty Dugard is a runner, he coaches the JSerra High School Running Lions Cross Country teams, and is a New York Best-Selling author of over 14 books. So it made sense for him to put pen to paper and speak about something he is passionate about. But he did it from a different angle than most. His book "To Be a Runner doesn't refer to becoming a better runner - or even a runner at all. It is about the process of seeking that better version of ourselves through the daily, mind-altering discipline of challenging personal limits."
Coach Dugard captures some of the essence of WHY we run: what motivates us, what hurts us, what drives us to wake up before the sun and race up a hill to reach a summit that cannot be seen with a headlamp. If you are a runner, you will find a kinship with this book. If you aren't a runner, you will understand why people run.
Keep Pushing...Always!
