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 poignant and warm-hearted tale of parenting, overcoming
the challenges of age, and quiet triumph. As a journalist whose
career spans three decades, CNN correspondent Tom Foreman has
reported from the heart of war zones, riots, and natural disasters.
He has interviewed serial killers and been in the line of fire. But
the most terrifying moment of his life didn't occur on the job-it
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. My Year of Running Dangerously is Foreman's
journey through four half-marathons, three marathons, and one
55-mile race. What started as an innocent request from his daughter
quickly turned into a rekindled passion for long-distance
running-for the training, the camaraderie, the defeats, and the
victories. Told with honesty and humor, Foreman's account captures
the universal fears of aging and failure alongside the hard-won
moments of triumph, tenacity, and going further than you ever
thought possible.
