As a runner, you know: running is not just a sport of body but also of mind and spirit. You might not always know how to express these feelings, though.

Even better, they invite you to join them on a year-long (or longer; the pages are not dated) expedition.

As a runner, you know: running is not just a sport of body but also of mind and spirit. You might not always know how to express these feelings, though. In these pages, you'll meet three runners-Adam, Connor, and Jim-who are expert at expressing their thoughts about the sport, from keen insights to laugh-out-loud truths. Even better, they invite you to join them on a year-long (or longer; the pages are not dated) expedition. Not only will you get to read the authors' personal essays, poems, and observations about running, racing, and life in general, but you'll also find space for recording your own experiences in whatever form you like. Your new traveling companions expect you'll have a lot to share, because they recognize that every run brings something new, whether you've only just begun running around the block or you've completed your twentieth ultramarathon. Some runs may seem to offer only new pain, but more often you'll encounter a new sight, think a new thought, or shift into a new perspective. The journal spaces in this book invite you to reflect on runs and running so you can capture the lessons you learn along the way. Whether you're a runner who is content with a neighborhood jog or one who isn't satisfied until you've explored every trail, you will find in these pages a home base you can return to again and again, a home filled with friends who love life as much as they enjoy going as fast as they can.
