I actually am not a writer. I am a retired engineer who just became a first time author. For me it is not writer's block. If I don't have a good idea there is nothing forcing me to write so there is no pressure.

In "Run With It" I tell my story of running all of the six World Marathon Majors in the fall of 2021. Nothing like this had ever been done before because the pandemic forced this compressed schedule.
