Looks Like We'Re Running: An Amateur'S Companion To Becoming A Marathoner - 9781732125513

Was running a marathon with my wife a smart idea? Certainly not. We had two kids under the age of three and demanding jobs in tech. However, being smart was not my main concern. In our 4-year marriage, she'd been a rock. She nursed me through leukemia. She picked me up from rehab and drove me to AA. Now, she wanted to run the Disney Marathon. So be it. I signed up like two sports bras, extra supportive! Looks Like We're Running is a humorous story about failing badly and getting better. Can running fix a person? Can it improve a marriage? Over 50 million Americans per year participate in running. Maybe it's a New Year's resolution, reaction to a breakup or the pursuit of longevity, but each year, nearly 16 million Americans attempt a marathon. Every one of them is just a regular person taking on one of sport's most daunting tasks in pursuit of a better version of themself. Looks Like We're Running is for that person. It was written by that person. This book is a marathon how-to with guidance on training, gear, nutrition and recovery, but most importantly, it is a testimony of the marathon's number one lesson: How to keep going.My name is Dustin Riedesel. I first attempted running three months after completing chemotherapy for leukemia. I started running for real 8 months after that while in a rehab facility for alcohol abuse. Since I began running, I've lost weight, improved my marriage and friendships, earned freedom from addiction, had two children, bought a new home, received a promotion at work, and finally, published a book to serve as a companion for anyone seeking similar outcomes in their life.Can moving your body for extended periods of time really give you all that? There's one sure-fire way to find out. Buy the book. Put on some shoes. Looks like we're running.
