In his autobiography "Running through My Mind: Confessions of an
Every Day Runner," author and runner Scott Ludwig states he would
like to write a book about the superheroes he's grown to know
throughout his running lifetime.
Ludwig's second book, "A Passion for Running: Portraits of the
Everyday Runner" tells the amazing stories of 18 runners he has
grown to respect and admire in his 31 years as a runner.
Inside you will meet:
Anne, an admitted couch potato at 40 and accomplished 100-mile
runner at 56.
Bobbi, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon during a time
when women 'weren't capable of running more than 1 1/2 miles.'
Elizabeth, who ran through the dark to complete her first
100-mile run despite having no vision at night..and 97% vision loss
during the day.
Sarah, the only finisher--male or female--of a bitterly cold
race which just happened to be 135 miles long.
Lloyd, a beginning runner at 59 and holder of various age group
records once he reached the ages of 70, 75, 80 and now 85.
Bob, winner of countless races in his 30's and 40's who can't
seem to slow down in his 50's.
Jerry, who ran an official marathon course 200 times in the year
2000 because...well, just because.
Al, who has run a sub-five minute mile, sub-three hour marathon,
and 100 miles in less than 24 hours at age 60 yet still imagines
what the future holds at the age of 64.
All have their own unique story to tell, and Ludwig is proud to
be the one to tell them. You'll find all of their stories
fascinating: how running became a part of their lives; their
approach to the physical, psychological and emotional demands of
running; and their special advice and insight into the sport.
You'll also hear their personal accounts of the most memorable
running event in each of their lives, from the Boston Marathon to
the Comrades Marathon to the Western States Endurance Run to the
blistering Badwater Ultramarathon to the frigid Arrowhead 135
Their stories will be sure to inspire and motivate you for a
lifetime.
