My Year of Running Dangerously: A Dad, a Daughter,… por Tom Foreman
Foreman chronicles his training and running with one of his daughters for half-marathons and marathons. He goes on to train for and run an ultramarathon, which were the chapters I found the most interesting with the challenges he faced in training and during the race. An enjoyable, easy to read book. His passion for running, life and family comes through clearly. Current long-distance runners will identify with the rewards and setbacks Foreman has during his training and racing. Those runners thinking of their first marathon or ultra race may find the inspiration to keep training.… (más)

Mmccullough | 5 reseñas más. | Jul 29, 2016 | Very enjoyable book, perhaps especially to athletes, and those addicted to endurance sports, as this book is about just that: an 18-year old daughter asks her dad if he'd like to train for a marathon with her, which he does, and then goes on to train for and run an ultra marathon, and to write about it. I "read" it via Aubible.com, despite my aversion to books read by their authors. In this case, the author/narrator does a remarkable job (perhaps because the author, in his day job, is a broadcast journalist). Inspiring, in parts laugh-out-loud funny, and touching, particularly the father-daughter stuff...I wanted to give 4-1/2 stars, but couldn't... anyway, very enjoyable...… (más)

DavidO1103 | 5 reseñas más. | Apr 21, 2016 | Listening to the audio, READ by Tom Foreman, was absolutely terrific!! I know next to nothing about running except for the runners going past where I live. Tom gives you himself---all the way through this incredible experience of what to most of us seems like an overwhelming undertaking, which he extended beyond the marathon with his daughter! Yes, he had always run, but his descriptions of his efforts to just keep going, "one foot in front of the other," made me gasp, laugh out loud, and be just plain amazed. I think listening to this was probably much more rewarding than reading his book simply because he was right there, expressing exactly how he felt all the way along and you could just plain feel it in his voice.… (más)
