Book Reviews of Ultrarunning: My Story
Book Review: Ultrarunners must read.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ultrarunning: My Story by Mike Bouscaren is a very good book for those that have run ultra's. If you have had a DNF like Mike you move on and run another one. My first VT100 was a DNF at 92 miles with only 8 miles to go??? The next year I was back and completed it in under 30 hours. He puts in just a little about his life which you may or may not relate, but if you do it is very powerful. DNF does not always mean "did not finish" but more important "Do Nothing Foolish" so you can move on and learn from the experience to do it better or the right way next time. "One Day at a Time" Mike thanks for a great book.
Summary of Ultrarunning: My Story
"There is nothing complicated about running. It is merely one foot in front of the other, the most basic mode of transportation. Yet run long enough and a transition takes place where running becomes rich with meaning and intuition. It is this road to spiritual insight that Mike Bouscaren pursues by doing races beyond the marathon, where oxygen comes hard, electrolytes deplete, and life is stripped down to real, true, honest, simple meaning." Rich Benyo, editor, Marathon&BeyondRunning & Jogging Books
