Book Description
Out-of-shape and hammered more often than not, Russell Taylor, nearing 40, begins training for the NYC marathon as something of a midlife crisis. His journey from the treadmill in London via Wales to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway illuminates the meaning of the egalitarian race, the only sport where a weekend jogger can run with world-class champions. For everyone who has contemplated running a marathon or watched from the sidelines, this comical and inspiring account will change their understanding of the legendary race.
