From the author of the international bestseller Born To Run When
barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a neglected
donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable health. But
Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative - and it's
clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of humans.
Chris knows that donkeys need a purpose - they are working, pack
animals - and so when he learns of the sport of Burro Racing or
running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman something worth
living for. With the aid of Chris's menagerie on his farm in rural
Pennsylvania, his wife Mika and their friends and neighbours
including the local Amish population, Sherman begins to build trust
in Chris. To give him a purpose, they start to run together. But
what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is something we all
need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with movement. And as
Chris learns, the side benefits of exercise and animal contact are
surprising, helping with mental and physical health in unexpected
ways.
