"A Year On My Feet", is a modern day Walden, of sorts, performed by one man in Thoreau's very neighborhood. It is a non-fictional recording of the author's attempt to run everyday for an entire year. The "running time machine" transports the reader to various points in the running and life experiences of the author, capturing his perspectives, hopes, and fears. The theme of the book ties the simple effort of running with the steps one takes throughout life, carving out one's place in the world, and forming their thoughts, loves, and perspectives along the route. The challenges and observations captured in "A Year On My Feet" are insightful and memorable for anyone who loves running and even for those who need that new perspective that running can pour into the body, mind, and spirit. There are many that may be inspired by the effort, the achievement, the challenge, and even by the simple words and observations in "A Year On My Feet". I hope you are one of them.
