Summary
This book of short stories celebrates a more light-hearted side of running than is usually gleaned from the training-manual-style titles written about the sport. It uncovers the overlooked particulars such as the physical, interpersonal, and spiritual joys of running and doesn't shy away from examining the many odd rituals of runners. Sacred race T-shirts, soul-searching excursions, shoe fetishes, and bonding friendships are all part of these humorous pieces that also delve into much more.
