He runs and thinks and appreciates life in ways that resonate deeply. This has nothing to do with running the Boston Marathon or crushing your personal best. It has everything to do with opening your eyes wide, breathing deeply, and following the trail around the next bend. Schneider writes that running makes him "feel totally alive and in the moment." That's how I felt as I savored Ten Marathons. It reminded me of all I love about reading and running.”Amby Burfoot, winner 1968 Boston Marathon; author, Run Forever A memoir of life lessons learned the hard way – through thirty years of marathon running.
