This memoir chronicles the life of a runner celebrating the completion of twenty-six years of 26.2 mile marathon races. His “Trifecta” comprises over one hundred marathons, one in all fifty states, and a finish in the coveted Boston Marathon. He shares a veteran’s personal journey of overcoming life’s challenges and disasters to achieving daily victories with a focus on a runner’s why. “You are a runner, a marathoner, the master of time management, meticulous planning, logistics, and travel. You are extremely versatile and adaptable. Somehow you make it all fit. Your WHY drives your WILL . . . it all comes back to your WHY” (David Hamel).
