review 1: As a runner and a writer, I was doubly captivated by Daniloff's account of running his way to health, wholeness, and redemption. Revisiting the scenes of his life's biggest screwups - and reliving and reflecting on those debacles while running a grueling marathon in each place - was an inspired way to confront the damage he'd done to himself and to others. It was also a splendid way to take readers with him, step by literal step, on the long run to reclaim his life. A fine, fine book.
review 2: This is such a painful book to read, and perhaps inexplicably so for someone who does not run and/or struggle with their past. Caleb Daniloff drags the reader through the landscape of his indiscretions, addictions, and ongoing trials of becoming a long distance runner. ... more Like the finish line of a marathon, redemption looms somewhere over the long stretch of hills. You want him to hit the tape, but it is not clear he ever will. less
