Running Toward Truth

In 2 years, 10 months, and 12 days, I ran the six major marathons of the world at an average pace of 2:54:17. And honestly – that’s not what this book is about because all of this started with a dare. It was 2022. I was 45, unwinding a twenty-year marriage, and had just laid off 190 people when a pandemic gutted the company I'd spent years building. I wasn't a runner. I wasn't looking for a sport. Then a dare changed the plan. What followed wasn't a comeback story. It was something harder than that - six major marathons across three years that kept forcing me to stop lying to myself. Not to anyone else. To myself. About who I was, what I was running on, and what all that achieving was actually costing me. This book covers the miles - Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, New York, Chicago - but what it's really about is what happens in the space between them. The slow, uncomfortable realization that you can rebuild everything from the outside in and still be completely lost. I'm not writing this from the other side of figured-out. What I found was a process that kept telling the truth, whether I was ready for it or not. This is what that process looked like and what it can look like for you.
