review 1: This book I had read a while back and forgot to review it. I had wished this book was going to be about running through your problems. This was not so. Instead this was a pity party with nothing but bad attitude splashed all over the whole book. I get you were an alcoholic, but I did not want to read about how hard core you were. I thought maybe running was going to save him. In a sense, I do not think it did. Yes he may have stopped drinking, but I think he used running as an excuse for a book platform. He is a talented writer that I will give him. I admire anyone who shares their struggles, especially with recovery. This was straight up garbage. My wish for him is to put on his running shoes, get out in nature, and really listen. If you do not hear what is be... moreing said, repeat it day after day until you do. Hopefully he will before it is too late for him. How depressing.
review 2: In this Kindle Single, Shubaly replaces an addiction to alcohol and pills with ultramarathoning.I always enjoy a story about someone overcoming obstacles, learning to trace the patterns of their life, and developing an appreciation for the subtleties of self-nourishment. This Single doesn't really have any of those things. However, Shubaly is an engaging writer and this work isn't any worse for failing to follow the After School Special formula of addiction recovery memoirs. less
