Publisher's Synopsis
Running a marathon is a journey in itself but running a marathon in every state is a whole another experience. Tales of a Dirtbag Runner, A 50 State Marathon Journey chronicles the evolutionary process of an out of shape nonrunner becoming a competitive endurance athlete. Each race gives an insight to the trials and triumphs, and best practices of long distance running. These are transparent stories of pain and joy, frustration and perseverance, and the emotional and physical toll of completing the 50 state marathon goal. Tales of a Dirtbag Runner, A 50 State Marathon Journey is more than a book about running. It's a story of a loved lost and a loved gain, the journey of traveling through the United States, and the training and planning of completing a marathon in every state.
