No One WANTS To Run A Marathon
The Introduction and Chapters 1 & 2 of Looks Like We’re Running: An Amateur’s Companion to Becoming a Marathoner
IntroductionThe Chicago Marathon, 2019
“Okay, what am I doing here?”
This isn’t a real question. It’s just existential angst. That’s all. What I’m actually doing is running mile eighteen of the 2019 Chicago Marathon. It’s my first marathon, and my brain is just on a low, angsty simmer in

"Wasn't for me. I think this is aimed more for men and is more of a story /memoir than a guide."

"Very American(tm), but also very honest and surprisingly funny. The author rambles a lot which takes away from the stronger points, but it's full of heart. Go get it!"

"It’s not a typical “how to run a marathon” book. It’s more like sitting next to a friend who’s been through some serious stuff addiction, cancer, being a husband and dad to two toddlers and somehow still decided to train for a marathon. And then actu"

Looks Like We're Running: An Amateur's Companion to Becoming a Marathoner:
""1% of people in the world have run a marathon." That stat is what got me interested in training for a marathon. I bought this book because I thought it would shortcut my learning curve and I needed something tailored for an absolute beginner. The bo"

“writers are desperate people and when they stop being desperate they stop being writers.”

“I think that the poet and scholar Kathleen Raine was correct in reminding us that life, like holiness, can be known only by being experienced. To experience it is not to "figure it out" or even to understand it, but to suffer it and rejoice in it as it is. In suffering it and rejoicing it as it is, we know that we do not and cannot understand it completely. We know, moreover, that we do not wish to have it appropriated by somebody's claim to have understood it. Though we have life, it is beyond us. We do not know how we have it, or why. We do not know what is going to happen to it, or to us. It is not predictable; though we can destroy it, we cannot make it. It cannot, except by reduction and the grave risk of damage, be controlled. It is, as Blake said, holy. To think otherwise is to enslave life, and to make, not humanity, but a few humans its predictably inept masters.”
