Step after step for 26.2 miles, hundreds of thousands of people run
marathons. But why--what compels people past pain, lost toenails,
5.30 am start times, The Wall? Sports writer Matt Fitzgerald set
out to run eight marathons in eight weeks across the country to
answer that question. At each race, he meets an array of runners,
from first timers, to dad-daughter teams and spouses, to people
who'd been running for decades, and asks them what keeps them
running. But there is another deeply personal part to Matt's
journey: his own relationship to the sport--and how it helped him
overcome his own struggles and cope with his wife Nataki's severe
bipolar disorder. A combination of Matt's own How Bad Do You Want
It? and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, Life Is a
Marathon captures the magic of those 26.2 miles. At the end of the
day--and at the end of the race--the pursuit of a marathon finish
line is not unlike the pursuit of happiness. You will pick up the
book for a powerful personal story about what running does for the
people for whom it does the most. You will put it down with a
greater understanding of what it means to be alive in this world.
