Yes, this is a book about running, but it's also a book about life.
Jeff Cann, a life-long runner, is now in his fifties. Deep in the descending arc of his running career, he decides to kick it up a notch. This book chronicles his often misguided attempts to turn himself into a Bad Ass Back Woods Trail Runner. Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes not, Jeff touches on many topics and issues that are relatable to runners... and pretty much everyone else.
I always enjoy reading Cann's work and this did not disappoint. Even though I am not a trail runner, I did find this book enjoyable as runner. It was a relatable account of the ups and downs of running and the drive that pushes a runner to keep going - with each run and each of our own running goals.
