Summary:
"CNN correspondent
Tom
Foreman
's remarkable journey from half-hearted couch potato to ultra-marathon runner, with four half-marathons, three marathons, and 2,000 miles of training in between; a tale of parenting, overcoming the challenges of age, and quiet triumph. As a journalist he has reported from war zones, riots, and natural disasters. He interviewed serial killers and been in the line of fire. But the most terrifying moment of his life occurred at home, when his 18-year old daughter asked, 'How would you feel about running a marathon with me?' At the time,
Foreman
was approaching 51 years old, and his last marathon was almost 30 years behind him. The race was just sixteen weeks away, but
Foreman
reluctantly agreed. Training with his daughter, who had just started college, would be a great bonding experience, albeit a long and painful one. It rekindled a passion for long-distance running--for the training, the camaraderie, the defeats, and the victories. This memoir captures the universal fears of aging and failure alongside the hard-won moments of triumph, tenacity, and going further than you ever thought possible"--Provided by publisher.
