Why we run... it is often asked and often discussed. Brooks Running explains why one runs and why running is a parallel to life in more ways than one. Brooks knows about life's highs and lows and how to stay the course. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Words of wisdom come from the pages, thanks to a well-decorated marathoner. Brooks makes running look easy, which is why so many people have followed in his footsteps. Come along on this incredible journey with him as he retraces his runs through some of the most memorable courses and recounts the blessings that life has to offer. Brooks Running is a story of one man's perseverance and dedication to all things that matter. And, when you hit the proverbial wall, Greg shows you how to run through it with grit and gusto.

About the Authors:
Greg Brooks
As a corporate engineer, father, coach, church elder, and national award-winning ultramarathon runner, "having it all" and speeding through life, Greg Brooks was hit with a career-ending wall set up by the merciless forces of Fate. But he listened to God's steady voice and rose above the ruins to shout, "Survive!" to himself, and to all those whose paths he would cross. Today, although disabled, he leads a non-profit that constructs caskets for and by the homeless. Greg lives with his wife, Donna, in Irondequoit, NY.
