Historia
When journalist Robert Andrew Powell finished his first marathon, he cried, cradled in his father’s arms. Long distance runners understand where those tears come from, even if there are others who will never understand what drives someone to run 26.2 consecutive miles in a grueling mental and physical test. Powell’s emotional reaction to completing the race wasn’t just about the run, though. It was also about the joy and relief of coming back up after hitting rock bottom.

I found this a really interesting book
Revisado: 10-12-19
I heard the author interviewed on the local pbs affiliate radio station a couple of years ago. Then forgot about it. When I came across it recently, I decided to listen to it.
This book has vivid descriptions of Miami and Boulder, Colorado. Perhaps it is because I grew up near Miami and now live close to Boulder that I found these descriptions made the story a lot more interesting.
I also really enjoyed reading his critique of Boulder and the priorities of some of the people that live there. Perhaps because I found myself agreeing with much of what he said.
While parts of the story struck me as a bit depressing, I enjoyed reading it a lot. And the good news is that the person at the end of the book is not the same one on the first page. This I see as proof that the year he spent in Boulder had a tremendous impact on the direction of his life. Or is it due to the fact that he became a really good runner? And let’s face it, running is a powerful metaphor for life.
